Wordplay involving several linguistic codes represents an important modality of ludic language. It is attested in different epochs, communicative situations, genres, and contexts of use. The translation of wordplay, which is generally seen as a challenging enterprise, illustrates another dimension of crossing linguistic borders in wordplay. The third volume of the series The Dynamics of Wordplay unites contributions from different disciplines which study the creative and playful use of elements from different languages and the transfer of ludic language into other linguistic systems. It sheds light on the multi-dimensionality, special linguistic make-up, and specific interactive potential of wordplay at the interface of different languages and cultures. The individual studies collected in this volume will be of interest to scholars from different scientific fields, such as linguistics and literary studies as well as cultural and media studies.

This volume focuses on realisations of wordplay in different cultures and social and historical contexts, and brings together various research traditions of approaching wordplay. Together with the volume DWP 7, it assembles selected papers presented at the interdisciplinary conference The Dynamics of Wordplay / La dynamique du jeu de mots (Trier, 2016) and stresses the inherent dynamicity of wordplay and wordplay research.

Le maniement du langage manifeste un pouvoir créateur spécifique à l'être humain. Cette inventivité se révèle sous une forme concise dans les jeux des mots. En combinant de façon insolite sons, syllabes, structures syntaxiques et significations, les jeux de mots ouvrent un espace de virtuosité et de spéculation. Initiateurs de créativité, ils impliquent en même temps une dimension métalinguistique, sondant les frontières du dicible, les bornes entre sens et non-sens jusqu'à toucher à l'énigme, au grotesque, à la fantaisie verbale. Ils remanient des paradigmes, transforment les codes langagiers et discursifs et remettent en cause les sens préconstruits et les clichés socioculturels. Ce volume interdisciplinaire vise à éclairer l'interdépendance entre les jeux de mots et la notion de créativité. Il réunit des études qui, traversant les époques, explorent des genres et discours variés ; sont analysés la poésie des troubadours et les fatrasies médiévales, les inventions ludiques de Rabelais, les anagrammes chez Saussure, la littérature de jeunesse, les blagues et les devinettes, les pratiques scéniques et poétiques du slam, la créativité des enseignes commerciales et les techniques de l'Oulipo.

"The word 'crusade' covers today a wide variety of meanings in most European languages. The link between these uses and the historical phenomenon labelled as 'crusade', by historians is often very narrow and particularly changing. Understanding the real meaning of the word 'crusade', its connotations and implications, and thus the conscious or unconscious intentions of its uses requires a precise knowledge of the historical evolutions of the word, from its first appearance in the 13th century until nowadays. This book offers the first comprehensive view of the historical construction of the meaning of the word 'crusade' through comparative perspectives from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. Its 11 articles, introduction and conclusion examine different uses of the word, in a single language or within a specific context, and analyze each of them as a different conceptualization of the crusading phenomenon. The book explains the progressive widening of the meaning of the term, from a military expedition to Jerusalem to the most metaphorical uses. It demonstrates the differences between the connotations of the word in various languages and cultures and, thus, the variety of its possible uses. It insists on the reluctance and reticence that 'crusade' has always provoked since the Middle Ages, precisely because the conceptualization it implied was not shared by all. The book will be of interest for crusade scholars and for diachronic linguists, but also for anyone interested in understanding better modern discourses and references to the 'crusade' by politicians, activists, and journalists, through a precise inquiry on the historical developments of the word and the variety of its meanings"--

Les jeux de mots peuvent être considérés comme un véritable phénomène d'interface. Ils apparaissent à la fois dans la communication "idienne et dans la littérature, et peuvent avoir des fonctions diverses: ils peuvent être distrayants et comiques, déguiser un sujet tabou ou encore influencer la manière dont on perçoit le caractère du locuteur. Une autre caractéristique fondamentale des jeux de mots est celle de servir à la réflexion sur la langue et sur la communication. Les jeux de mots font apparaître des caractéristiques du langage littéraire dans la communication "idienne, et incitent à analyser les œuvres littéraires selon une perspective linguistique. Les deux premiers volumes de la série The Dynamics of Wordplay visent à réunir des contributions linguistiques et littéraires sur les techniques du jeu de mots et ses relations aux innovations linguistiques en général. Ces réflexions sont complétées par une série d'études de cas qui analysent l'usage du jeu de mots chez différents auteurs et dans différents contextes historiques. Ainsi, partant de situations de communication très variées, les contributions permettent de reconsidérer la dynamique du jeu de mots dans toutes ses facettes.

Particle Technology and Engineering presents the basic knowledge and fundamental concepts that are needed by engineers dealing with particles and powders. The book provides a comprehensive reference and introduction to the topic, ranging from single particle characterization to bulk powder properties, from particle-particle interaction to particle-fluid interaction, from fundamental mechanics to advanced computational mechanics for particle and powder systems. The content focuses on fundamental concepts, mechanistic analysis and computational approaches. The first six chapters present basic information on properties of single particles and powder systems and their characterisation (covering the fundamental characteristics of bulk solids (powders) and building an understanding of density, surface area, porosity, and flow), as well as particle-fluid interactions, gas-solid and liquid-solid systems, with applications in fluidization and pneumatic conveying. The last four chapters have an emphasis on the mechanics of particle and powder systems, including the mechanical behaviour of powder systems during storage and flow, contact mechanics of particles, discrete element methods for modelling particle systems, and finite element methods for analysing powder systems. This thorough guide is beneficial to undergraduates in chemical and other types of engineering, to chemical and process engineers in industry, and early stage researchers. It also provides a reference to experienced researchers on mathematical and mechanistic analysis of particulate systems, and on advanced computational methods. Provides a simple introduction to core topics in particle technology: characterisation of particles and powders: interaction between particles, gases and liquids; and some useful examples of gas-solid and liquid-solid systems Introduces the principles and applications of two useful computational approaches: discrete element modelling and finite element modelling Enables engineers to build their knowledge and skills and to enhance their mechanistic understanding of particulate systems
