Qu’est-ce qui anime les linguistes ? Comme toute discipline scientifique, la linguistique a fait l’objet de nombreuses histoires, qui en racontent les vicissitudes et les progrès. Le présent ouvrage ...prend les choses par un autre bout : celui des manières de faire, et plus précisément des manières de dire. La linguistique est ici envisagée comme un discours, qui construit du savoir par le biais de gestes précis (dénommer, expliquer, modéliser, etc.) et qui se nourrit d’imaginaires variés (la Vie, le Progrès, le Bien, etc.). Ces gestes et ces imaginaires sont analysés à travers des études de cas concrets, portant sur des figures paradigmatiques comme Benveniste ou Chomsky, sur des projets disciplinaires comme la biolinguistique ou la typologie des langues, et sur des objets théorisés comme l’accent et les termes métalinguistiques, tant dans le domaine francophone que dans le domaine anglo-saxon. En révélant l’artisanat discursif sur lequel repose le faire linguistique, cette enquête richement documentée servira autant des usages de recherche que d’enseignement, pour tous les linguistes et plus largement pour tous les praticiens des Humanités.
This theoretical and practical guide to using corpus linguistic techniques in stylistic analysis focuses on how to use off-the-shelf corpus software, such as AntConc, Wmatrix, and the Brigham Young ...University (BYU) corpus interface.
This volume brings together linguistic, psycholinguistic, and sociolinguistic perspectives on code-switching. Featuring new data from five continents and languages with a large range of linguistic ...affiliations, the contributions all address the role of social factors in determining the forms and outcomes of code-switching. This book is a significant addition to the empirical and theoretical foundations of the study of code-switching.
Corpus linguistics has much to offer history, being as both disciplines engage so heavily in analysis of large amounts of textual material. This book demonstrates the opportunities for exploring ...corpus linguistics as a method in historiography and the humanities and social sciences more generally. Focusing on the topic of prostitution in 17th-century England, it shows how corpus methods can assist in social research, and can be used to deepen our understanding and comprehension. McEnery and Baker draw principally on two sources – the newsbook Mercurius Fumigosis and the Early English Books Online Corpus. This scholarship on prostitution and the sex trade offers insight into the social position of women in history.
Have wireless, mobile communication technologies - phones, laptops and tablets - changed the way people talk to one another? What does it mean to be able to speak or write to anyone, anywhere, ...24/7/365, and get an immediate response? And what does the current profusion of these technologies mean for the study of language in social life? Do we need to develop new approaches, methodologies and theories? Taking a global perspective, this volume provides readers with a nuanced, ethnographically-informed understanding of mobile communication and sociolinguistics. The text explores a wide range of digital applications, including SMS, email, tweeting, Facebook, YouTube, chatting, blogging, Wikipedia, Second Life and gaming. It raises important questions about the nature of language, the role of multimodality and intertextuality in creating meaning, the realities and consequences of digital linguistic inequality. The formation of virtual communities, ways of online socialising and the performance of the 'self' are explored. Based on a multicultural and multilingual approach, the volume provides a comprehensive and intriguing overview of digital communication for both students and researchers.
Cet ouvrage collectif est un hommage rendu à Franck Neveu, éminent spécialiste et professeur de sciences du langage, dont l’originalité de la pensée et la richesse de l’apport scientifique marqueront ...durablement les recherches actuelles en linguistique. En linguistique et/ou en sciences du langage, car c’est là un débat ancien et toujours renouvelé. C’est en faveur de la deuxième dénomination que s’est résolument prononcé Franck Neveu, qui se positionne néanmoins, tout aussi résolument, comme linguiste. Ce volume collectif entend rendre hommage à cette ouverture d’esprit en réunissant des contributions d’auteurs de renom proches du dédicataire, qui explorent non seulement ses champs de spécialité comme la syntaxe, la sémantique et l’épistémologie des sciences du langage, mais également des disciplines avoisinantes comme la dialectologie ou la génétique des textes. Il trouve son unité autour des travaux de Franck Neveu et se veut être une contribution au rayonnement de la linguistique française que celui-ci défend et illustre. Avec ses contributions représentatives des recherches actuelles, cet ouvrage intéressera autant un public spécialisé qu’un public curieux de découvrir les sciences du langage.
Diachronic treebanks allow for a new approach to diachronic studies of syntactic phenomena. These papers report research on various diachronic matters supported such by evidence, covering a wide ...range of languages, including English, French, Russian, Latin and Ancient Greek. Originally published as Diachronica 35:3 (2018).
The eighth edition of the Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics (CLiC-it 2021) was held at Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca from 26th to 28th January 2022. After the edition of ...2020, which was held in fully virtual mode due to the health emergency related to Covid-19, CLiC-it 2021 represented the first moment for the Italian research community of Computational Linguistics to meet in person after more than one year of full/partial lockdown.

Corpus linguistics is a long-established method which uses authentic language data, stored in extensive computer corpora, as the basis for linguistic research. Moving away from the traditional ...intuitive approach to linguistics, which used made-up examples, corpus linguistics has made a significant contribution to all areas of the field. Until very recently, corpus linguistics has focused almost exclusively on syntax and the lexicon; however corpus-based approaches to the other subfields of linguistics are now rapidly emerging, and this is the first handbook on corpus pragmatics as a field. Bringing together a team of leading scholars from around the world, this handbook looks at how the use of corpus data has informed research into different key aspects of pragmatics, including pragmatic principles, pragmatic markers, evaluation, reference, speech acts, and conversational organisation.
