This monograph presents a view on grammaticalisation radically different from standard views centering around the cline of grammaticality. Grammar is seen as a complex sign system, and, as a consequence, grammatical change always comprises semantic change. What unites morphology, topology (word order), constructional syntax and other grammatical subsystems is their paradigmatic organisation. The traditional concept of an inflexional paradigm is generalised as the structuring principle of grammar. Grammatical change involves paradigmatic restructuring, and in the process of grammatical change m

Cet ouvrage est le point d’aboutissement d’une pensée qui, depuis une vingtaine d’années, interroge et travaille l’épistémologie structurale au nom du graduel, du continu, du dynamique, de l’affectif. Il s’agit d’un « structuralisme tensif », qui donne toute sa place à l’« événement ». Le présent ouvrage vise à construire, de manière systématique, un véritable édifice théorique actualisé, des fondements jusqu’au dialogue avec des auteurs classiques de la poétique et de la réflexion sur les formes symboliques, tels que Cassirer ou Wölfflin, Hjelmslev ou Mauss, Baudelaire ou Valéry. Un glossaire final permettra au lecteur de s’emparer davantage de cette théorie foisonnante et d’une grande cohérence.

The alignment splits in the Neo-Aramaic languages display a considerable degree of diversity, especially in terms of agreement. While earlier studies have generally oversimplified the actual state of affairs, Paul M. Noorlander offers a meticulous and clear account of nearly all microvariation documented so far, addressing all relevant morphosyntactic phenomena. By means of fully glossed and translated examples, the author shows that this vast variation in morphological alignment, including ergativity, is unexpected from a functional typological perspective. He argues the alignment splits are rather the outcome of several construction-specific processes such as internal system harmonization and grammaticalization, as well as language contact.

Posthumanism and Deconstructing Arguments: Corpora and Digitally-driven Critical Analysis presents a new and practical approach in Critical Discourse Studies. Providing a data-driven and ethically-based method for the examination of arguments in the public sphere, this ground-breaking book:Highlights how the reader can evaluate arguments from points of view other than their own;Demonstrates how digital tools can be used to generate 'ethical subjectivities' from large numbers of dissenting voices on the world-wide-web;Draws on ideas from posthumanist philosophy as well as from Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari for theorising these subjectivities;Showcases a critical deconstructive approach, using different corpus linguistic programs such as AntConc, WMatrix and Sketchengine.Posthumanism and Deconstructing Arguments is essential reading for lecturers and researchers with an interest in critical discourse studies, critical thinking, corpus linguistics and digital humanities.
