Abstract

On considère généralement que la théorie des actes de langage est née avec la publication posthume en 1962 d'un recueil de conférences données en 1955 par John Austin, How to do Things with Words. Le titre français de cet ouvrage, Quand dire, c'est faire (1970), illustre parfaitement l'objectif de cette théorie : il s'agit en effet de prendre le contre-pied des approches logiques du langage et de s'intéresser aux nombreux énoncés qui, tels les questions ou les ordres, échappent à la problématique du vrai et du faux. Dire « Est-ce que tu viens ? » ou « Viens ! » conduit à accomplir, à travers cette énonciation, un certain type d'acte en direction de l'interlocuteur (en lui posant une question ou en lui donnant un ordre)

Abstract

"Susan Harding, a cultural anthropologist, set out in the 1980s to understand the significance of Christian fundamentalism to date. Falwell and his co-pastors were the pivotal figures in the movement. It is on them that Harding focuses, and, in particular, their use of the Bible's language. She argues that this language is the medium through which born-again Christians, individual and collective, come to understand themselves as Christians. And it is inside this language that much of the born-again movement took place. Preachers like Falwell command a Bible-based poetics of great complexity, variety, creativity, and force, and, with it, attempt to mold their churches into living testaments of the Bible. Harding focuses on the words - sermons, speeches, books, audiotapes, and television broadcasts - of individual preachers, particularly Falwell, as they rewrote their Bible-based tradition to include, rather than exclude, intense worldly engagement. As a result of these efforts, born-again Christians recast themselves as a people not separated from but engaged in making history."--Jacket.

Abstract

This book is about language designed to mean what it does not seem to mean. Ciphers and codes conceal messages and protect secrets. Symbol and magic hide meanings to imperil or delight. Languages made to baffle and confuse let insiders talk openly without being understood by those beyond the circle. Barry Blake looks in depth at these and many more. He explores the history and uses of the slangs and argots of schools and trades. He traces the histories of centuries-old cants such asthose used by sailors and criminals, among them polari, the mix of Italian, Yiddish, and slang spoken once among
