This volume presents articles that focus on the application of formal models in the study of language in a variety of innovative ways, and is dedicated to Jacques Moeschler, professor at University of Geneva, to mark the occasion of his 60th birthday. The contributions, by seasoned and budding linguists of all different linguistic backgrounds, reflect Jacques Moeschler’s diverse and visionary research over the years. The book contains three parts. The first part shows how different formal models can be applied to the analysis of such diverse problems as the syntax, semantics and pragmatics of tense, aspect and deictic expressions, syntax and pragmatics of quantifiers and semantics and pragmatics of connectives and negation. The second part presents the application of formal models to the treatment of cognitive issues related to the use of language, and in particular, demonstrating cognitive accounts of different types of human interactions, the context in utterance interpretation (salience, inferential comprehension processes), figurative uses of language (irony pretence), the role of syntax in Theory of Mind in autism and the analysis of the aesthetics of nature. Finally, the third part addresses computational and corpus-based approaches to natural language for investigating language variation, language universals and discourse related issues. This volume will be of great interest to syntacticians, pragmaticians, computer scientists, semanticians and psycholinguists.

"La formation en grammaire des futurs enseignants de français est périodiquement discutée, l'enseignement grammatical demeurant un terrain de profondes tensions et contradictions. À l'heure de changements majeurs qui affectent les systèmes éducatifs universitaires et les publics scolaires, il importe de faire le point. Quels sont les finalités, approches, dispositifs et contenus de formation en grammaire dans les institutions académiques francophones ? Quelles doivent être les exigences de la formation, compte tenu des connaissances préalables des étudiants, des prescriptions et des besoins des élèves ? Cet ouvrage réunit des contributions de didacticiens belges, français, québécois et suisses. Formateurs aguerris, ces auteurs font le pari que plusieurs des problèmes de l'enseignement grammatical peuvent être résolus par la mise en oeuvre d'une formation initiale dotant les enseignants d'outils qui leur permettent de maitriser eux-mêmes les phénomènes linguistiques complexes."--Page 4 of cover.
