À la suite des travaux de Peirce (1930), Haiman (1980, 1985), Tai (1985), etc., l’iconicité de la syntaxe a été un sujet à la mode, souvent dans un contexte de polémique contre l’arbitraire du signe saussurien. On se limitera ici à l’iconicité de la séquence temporelle: l’ordre des mots dans la phrase mime-t-il l’ordre des événements dans le monde de référence? L’heure de dresser un bilan était arrivée, et, pour cela, on a voulu ici relever un défi: tenter de «faire marcher» l’idée d’iconicité temporelle jusqu’au bout, de la pousser jusque dans ses derniers retranchements. Faisant converger étude de l’iconicité de l’ordre des constituants et étude de l’Aktionsart des verbes, nous proposons d’étendre le champ d’application de cette iconicité temporelle, des événements aux procès et, de là, aux phases qui les composent. Si, après enquête, l’iconicité semble, en chinois, être partout ou presque, c’est que les marques séquentielles (l’ordre des constituants), en même temps que les informations sur les prédicats (valence et Aktionsart) codées dans le lexique, sont essentielles au fonctionnement des langues isolantes du type du chinois, et que ces marques séquentielles obéissent le plus souvent, au moins dans le cas du chinois mandarin contemporain, à l’iconicité. C’est l’occasion de proposer de nouvelles classifications des verbes du chinois. On les trouvera abondamment illustrées par des exemples empruntés aux corpus les plus variés, puis récapitulées dans de nombreux tableaux dont nous espérons qu’ils seront utiles pour l’apprentissage et l’enseignement du chinois.

"The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Applied Linguistics is written for those wanting to acquire comprehensive knowledge of China, the diaspora, and the Sino-sphere communities through Chinese language. It examines how Chinese language is used in different contexts, and how the use of Chinese language affects culture, society, expression of self, persuasion of others; as well as how neurophysiological aspects of language disorder affects how we function, and how the advance of technology changes the way the Chinese language is used and perceived. The handbook concentrates on the cultural, societal, and communicative characteristics of the Chinese language environment. Focusing on language use in action, in context, and in vivo, this book intends to lay empirical grounds for collaboration and synergy among different fields"--

Lexical Ontological Semantics introduces ontological methods into lexical semantic studies with the aim of giving impetus to various fields of endeavours which envision and model the semantic network of a language. Lexical ontological semantics (LOS) provides a cognition-based computation-oriented framework in which nouns and predicates are described in terms of their semantic knowledge and models the mechanism in which the noun system is coupled with the predicate system. It expands the scope of lexical semantics, updates methodologies to semantic representation, guides the construction of semantic resources for natural language processing, and develops new theories for human-machine interactions and communications.

"This volume features a discourse empirical orientation from diverse perspectives and various methodologies, in which narratives, interviews, surveys, and large-scale databases or self-created written and spoken corpora are employed and analyzed to gain a better understanding of new developments and changes in the Chinese language and discourse. Authors employ updated approaches from a variety of fields, including applied linguistics, functional linguistics, corpus linguistics and sociolinguistics, to describe the structure of the Chinese language and discourse and to examine its critical issues, many focusing on globalization-induced language developments and changes. With an empirically-based discourse/socio-cultural approach, this collection makes valuable contributions to research on Chinese language and discourse and serves as a sound reference for Chinese researchers and educators in diverse fields such as Chinese language and discourse, Chinese linguistics and language education, Chinese multiculturalism, and more"--
