L'espagnol du siècle d'or est souvent plein de traquenards pour les étudiants.
En apparence, il diffère peu de l'espagnol moderne et c'est justement cette parenté qui trompe. car la langue d'aujourd'hui joue le rôle d'un continuel " faux-ami ", d'une lunette déformante qui empêche d'appréhender correctement le sens précis et les nuances de celle d'autrefois. la langue du siècle d'or souligne les ambiguïtés, les équivoques, les erreurs - lexicales ou syntaxiques - dont les étudiants doivent se méfier : elle est donc une clef très utile à l'exacte intelligence des textes classiques, qu'il s'agisse de les traduire en français ou, plus simplement de les lire avec profit.
Le droit à la langue des signes pour tous est le thème 2019 de la Fédération mondiale des Sourds, car les droits linguistiques sont essentiels pour la pleine inclusion de la communauté Sourde dans la société. Il rejoint celui de l'Unesco, " Année internationale des langues autochtones ", pour que les langues des signes obtiennent le même statut que les langues parlées.
Barbara Le Lan prolonge ces manifestes et démontre que les langues des signes sont non seulement indispensables dans le quotidien de la communauté Sourde, mais qu'elles sont épanouissantes et utiles à tous : un plaidoyer passionné et passionnant pour leur apprentissage universel !
In 2019, the chosen theme of the World Federation of the Deaf is Sign language rights for all! Language rights are essential in ensuring that the Deaf community is fully included in society. This theme echoes the theme chosen by UNESCO, "International Year of Indigenous Languages", in order to give sign languages the same status and importance as spoken languages.
Barbara Le Lan shows that not only are sign languages indispensable in the daily life of the Deaf community, but signing is also useful, and deeply fulfilling, for all of us. Her book is a passionate plea to encourage everybody to learn sign language.
This study seeks to contribute to a better understanding of how syntactic variation is affected by probabilistic factors in English as a foreign language (EFL, L2), exemplified by the effect of weight on the syntactic variation with English transitive verb-particle constructions (e.g. look up, sort out) and transitive verb-prepositional phrase (PP) constructions (e.g. take into account, bear in mind). With these constructions, the particle/PP may occur either adjacent to the verb or separated from the verb by a direct object noun phrase (DO NP). Being highly influenced by the weight of the DO NP in native (L1) English, little is known about the factors, including syntactic weight, that govern this variation in L2 English. Against the background of possible native-language transfer, this study examines whether advanced L1-German EFL learners are sensitive to the probabilistic e ffect of weight on syntactic choices with verb-particle/PP constructions and whether there are di fferences when compared to English native speakers. Triangulating comparative corpus data and experimental data, i.e. elicited production and elicited assessment, the study provides converging evidence from language production and intuition that the learners have acquired a near-native awareness of weight e ffects in verb-particle/PP constructions, with di fferences indicating a tendency to more conservative choices.

Dans cette petite histoire de la langue des Flamands, l?auteur nous fait découvrir les origines de la langue néerlandaise et des dialectes flamands. Le flamand et le néerlandais remontenta u francique, langue des pères fondateurs du royaume des Francs, plus tard appelé France. Plus ancien que le français, le francique fut parlé jusqu?aux portes de Paris. Mais, de nos jours, la langue des Flamands de France en est réduite à quelques milliers de locuteurs. L?auteur retrace le récit de cette funeste évolution, régie par la séculaire politique centralisatrice et niveleuse de l?Etat français. Refusant de s?incliner à l?idée de la disparition de l?identité flamande en France, il formule un ardent plaidoyer pour la promotion du néerlandais, langue mère du dialecte flamand parlée par près de 25 millions de Flamands de Belgique et de Néerlandais.
Cet ouvrage naît d'un constat : le théâtre espagnol contemporain est encore peu étudié dans les cursus universitaires en général et dans les études d'espagnol en particulier.
Et pourtant, il s'agit d'un domaine qui partout fait l'objet d'un regain d'intérêt. Ce manuel procède d'une double ambition : fournir des outils pour éclairer la spécificité de l'écriture dramatique et faciliter l'accès aux textes de théâtre espagnol du XXe siècle. Le texte de théâtre contemporain, troué, incomplet, doit être étudié à partir d'outils méthodologiques spécifiques. Les catégories traditionnelles de l'analyse " Littéraire " sont devenues inadaptées dès lors que l'on interroge la nature première du texte théâtral, à savoir sa condition de " mise en scène imaginaire ".
Cette perspective est d'autant plus justifiée pour le théâtre contemporain, qui joue avec les codes, affiche de nouvelles formes de théâtralité et déroute le récepteur et l'analyste. Le livre se compose de trois parties. La première aborde succinctement les spécificités du texte dramatique et envisage la singularité du théâtre espagnol du XXe siècle. La deuxième, essentiellement didactique, présente les outils méthodologiques de l'analyse théâtrale.
La dernière, clairement pragmatique, est consacrée à l'analyse des textes espagnols contemporains à partir des concepts prédéfinis. Loin des méthodes rigides, le choix des auteurs et des textes laisse la place à une interprétation souple et plurielle, celle des auteur(e) s, dont le but ultime est à la fois de faire connaître le théâtre espagnol contemporain et de faire du texte dramatique un lieu de découverte et de plaisir.

Learner Corpus Research (LCR) is a vibrant discipline, which combines methodological rigour in the analysis of authentic learner data with a focus on practical pedagogical application. Following earlier successful conferences in Louvain and Bergen, the third LCR conference, hosted by Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands, illustrated how LCR has matured. The field is advancing in its integration of experimental studies and learner corpus analysis, combining the benefits of controlled experimentation and the analysis of authentic language data. Increasingly, LCR research builds on current Second Language Acquisition theory and uses the study of corpus data to contribute to it. This volume reflects the range and scope of the field and the almost kaleidoscopic nature of the work carried out under the LCR umbrella, representing a multitude of research interests, including written and spoken EFL production, language assessment and translation studies. The field's maturity is also illustrated by methodological developments such as attention for individual variation, inclusion of L1 data and use of longitudinal corpora. The papers in this volume do not only chart learners' development, they also illustrate the development within the field itself. While the field is branching out, it also remains true to its origins in applied linguistics in that it helps to define perceptions of proficiency, substantiate language level descriptors and inform teaching methodology.

Prima che la grande stagione della storiografia moderna prenda l'avvio, il libro di storia è già una realtà letteraria consolidata, sebbene ancora multiforme. Nella Toscana del '300, intorno alla straordinaria fioritura delle scritture in volgare, prospera una copiosa produzione cronachistica, nutrita dall'umana necessità del «fare memoria» e dalla padronanza diffusa e capillare di una lingua ormai matura. Il lavoro analizza una parte di quelle testimonianze, indagando sul versante linguistico le fasi iniziali di sviluppo del genere storiografico. Si è in particolare interrogato il processo di costruzione di una scrittura orientata in senso storico, mettendo a sistema testi diversi nella ricerca di tratti formali comuni. Lo studio, che si è avvalso degli strumenti della linguistica testuale e dell'analisi del discorso, ha prestato particolare attenzione agli aspetti strutturali ed enunciativi dei testi, approfondendo fenomeni come la deissi e il discorso riportato, insieme agli esiti linguistici dei dispositivi narrativi, argomentativi e valutativi.
Although language plays a key role in national development, African languages are still seen as less important for the development of African nations. This book examines the linguistic situation and the language policy of Burkina Faso and argues that most of the problems faced by (young) Burkinabè are caused by the language policy of their country, a language policy that forces them to be educated in a language they haven't mastered. The author proposes a new language policy which could help improve education and the development of Burkina Faso.
The present volume contains selected proceedings from the fifth edition of the Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies (UCCTS) international conference held at the University of Louvain in September 2018. It brings together thirteen chapters that all make use of electronic comparable and/or parallel corpora to inform contrastive linguistics, translation theory, translation pedagogy, translation quality assessment and multilingual terminology. The volume is structured in five thematic sections, devoted to learner-focused descriptive translation studies, corpus use in translator training, studies of translated and edited language, contrastive linguistics, and terminology. Together, the contributions in the volume re flect recent developments in corpus-based cross-linguistic studies, such as the compilation and analysis of learner translation corpora to identify the typical features of learner translated language and inform translator training, the comparative analysis of translation and other forms of mediated communication, such as editing, the compilation of new multilingual corpora and the analysis of under-researched linguistic phenomena, such as punctuation. The volume also testi fies to the growing cross-fertilization between contrastive linguistics and translation studies, both in terms of methodology (e.g. the combined use of different types of corpora and the exploration of corpus-driven methods) and theory (e.g. the role played by source language in fluence and cross-linguistic contrasts in translation).
Among the countless themes in language studies on which Pierre Swiggers has worked and published, linguistic historiography undoubtedly stands out. In this subdiscipline of language studies, he has acted as a true architect and maître d'oeuvre. For this reason, the editors have chosen «the architecture of grammar» as the guiding theme of this volume in his honor. Opening with a preface and general introduction, the book brings together contributions pertaining to this general theme, ranging from antiquity to the present day, and closes with the bibliography of the honoratus.
