Idioms have long been of interest to research in linguistics as well as literary studies. In the existing research, however, the aesthetic productivity of idiomatic ambiguity has never been in focus. The present study on Idioms and Ambiguity in Context fills this gap by analyzing a corpus of children’s literature—traditionally characterized by a high measure of wordplay and ambiguity—both in a linguistic and literary perspective. Looking at the connection between context and understanding of idiomatic expressions in either their phrasal or their compositional reading, the study explores how ambiguity is activated, if, how, and when it is perceived on the different levels of communication, and how literary texts use this ambiguity in playful ways.

Tout ce qui est dans le sentiment des sujets parlants est phénomène réel », écrivait Saussure dans les années 1880 en vue d'un possible cours de morphologie. Mais le terme sentiment ne fait pas partie de ceux, tels signe, système, synchronie ou diachronie, qu'on associe au canon des concepts saussuriens. Le projet de cet ouvrage est de montrer au contraire que le sentiment linguistique occupe une place essentielle dans la pensée du linguiste genevois, et qu'il est peut-être l'instance principale qui lui permet de définir ce qu'il appelle la « langue ». Les contributions de cet ouvrage mènent l'enquête autour de ce qu'on peut appeler le sentiment linguistique chez Saussure, en explorant les inspirations que Saussure a pu prendre chez ses prédécesseurs, étudient les diverses inflexions que le motif prend chez lui, notamment à partir des sources manuscrites, et explorent les enjeux de la notion aujourd'hui. Prenant place dans le champ de l'histoire des idées linguistiques, il est aussi susceptible d'ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de recherche sur l'appréhension des faits linguistiques par le sujet parlant.

This collection addresses issues of authenticity in second language contexts from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches along three principal themes: What is authentic language? Who is an authentic speaker? How is authenticity achieved? The volume responds to these questions by bringing together scholars working in a range of contexts, including with language learners in the classroom and in residence or study abroad, with a variety of second or additional languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish. Contributions focus on authenticity as it relates to patterns of language and meaning, and to agency, identity and culture, and serve as an opening to an extended conversation about the nature of authenticity and its development in L2 contexts. This volume is relevant for students and scholars interested in learning about or investigating questions of authenticity and interaction in a wide range of language learning contexts.
