This book argues that poetry is compatible with systematic knowledge including science, and indeed inherent in it; it also discusses particular poems that engage with such knowledge, including those of Lucretius, Vergil, and Vita Sackville-West. The book argues that there are substantial similarities between knowledge-making and poetry-making, for example in their being shaped by language, including metaphor, and in their seeking unity in the world, under the impulse of eros and pleasure. The book also discusses some of the obstacles to a ‘poetry of knowledge’, including scientific objectivism, the Kantian tradition in philosophy, and the separation of the ‘two cultures’ in our academic and intellectual institutions. The book is designed to be accessible to all those interested in the issue of the ‘two cultures’, or in the role of poetry and of science in contemporary culture.

Gustave Guillaume a pris soin de conserver tous les textes préparatoires aux conférences hebdomadaires qu’il prononça de 1938 à 1960 à l’École Pratique des Hautes Étude de la Sorbonne. Le texte de ces conférences, auquel il convient d’ajouter un ensemble très varié de notes de recherche, d’essais et de mémoires, totalisent plus de 60 000 feuillets manuscrits déposés en 1960 et conservés depuis au Fonds Gustave Guillaume de l’Université Laval à Québec. En 1971, Roch Valin, légataire testamentaire des manuscrits de Guillaume, entreprend la publication de ses conférences dans une collection d’ouvrages intitulée Leçons de linguistique de Gustave Guillaume. Plus de vingt ouvrages ont paru dans cette collection. Une seconde collection d’ouvrages, destinée à la publication des essais et des mémoires du linguiste, a vu le jour en 2003. La publication des écrits de Gustave Guillaume est désormais assurée par Patrick Duffley, professeur au Département de langues, linguistique et traduction de l'Université Laval.

This book is a collection of eleven research articles which altogether serve as a contribution to the study of verb complementation and other constructions, an area of investigation which bridges observations on the spectrum of lexico-grammar, syntax, and semantics. In terms of methodological approaches and the types of linguistic patterns examined, the chapters cast light on the subject from a variety of perspectives, and the volume is structured in a way that groups the various perspectives under three main themes according to their main focus and/or methodological approaches, namely: the semantic and functional descriptions of constructions; the investigation into the distribution of complementation patterns; and the study of innovative patterns in ESL contexts and languages other than English. All chapters in this volume employ data from large electronic corpora where possible – the BNC, COCA, COHA, GloWbE, NOW, and newly compiled corpora representing regional varieties of English.

The contributions to this volume honor Joan Bybee's 2005 LSA Presidential address "Grammar is Usage and Usage is Grammar," as a cumulative articulation of Professor Bybee's long and influential career in linguistics. The volume begins with a functional examination of child language acquisition of ergative languages. The next three contributions successively investigate the grammaticalization of Greek postural verbs, Spanish third person pronouns, and American Sign Language topicalization constructions. The two following papers report on usage-based phonological studies of Spanish /s/ and /d/, respectively. The book concludes with four papers that address usage-based effects concerning the grammatical status of ain't in African American English, Spanish verbs of "becoming", and English lexis and prefabs.

This book offers an original treatment of the lexical form 'look'. The work is innovative in that it establishes that the Columbia School conception of an invariant meaning - hitherto found primarily in grammar - is equally operative in core vocabulary items like 'look' and 'see'. The upshot is that grammar and lexicon are both amenable to synchronic monosemic analysis. The invariant meaning proposed for 'look' explains the full range of its distribution, without the need to posit as linguistic units 'look'-noun and 'look'-verb, 'look'-visual and 'look'-intellectual, or constructions such as 'have-a-look', 'look-like', etc. The analysis places look in opposition with 'see', 'seem' and 'appear' for which tentative meanings are posited as well. The hypotheses are supported through qualitative analyses of attested examples and quantitative predictions tested in a massive corpus. These predictions offer new knowledge about the distribution of 'look', 'see' and other forms that may provide useful for other scholars.

Spoken language is characterized by the occurrence of linguistic devices such as discourse markers (e.g. 'so', 'well', 'you know', 'I mean') and other so-called "disfluent" phenomena, which reflect the temporal nature of the cognitive mechanisms underlying speech production and comprehension. The purpose of this book is to distinguish between strategic vs. symptomatic uses of these markers on the basis of their combination, function and distribution across several registers in English and French. Through deep quantitative and qualitative analyses of manually annotated features in the new 'DisFrEn' corpus, this usage-based study provides (i) an exhaustive portrait of discourse markers in English and French and (ii) a scale of (dis)fluency against which different configurations of discourse markers can be diagnosed as rather fluent or disfluent. By bringing together discourse markers and (dis)fluency under one coherent framework, this book is a unique contribution to corpus-based pragmatics, discourse analysis and crosslinguistic fluency research.
