This work analyzes current borrowings and integration of loan words in the French language and in other Romance languages. The studied phenomena are analyzed exclusively from the perspective of the speakers. The main aim is to elucidate the complexity of these processes? how language undergoes change? and to work out a model which is adequate with respect to communication theory. In particular, the study takes into account the occurrence of competing forms of loan words that differ from each other in their degree of integration.

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.

Wordplay can be seen as a genuine interface phenomenon. It can be found both in everyday communication and in literary texts, and it can fulfil a range of functions - it may be entertaining and comical, it may be used to conceal taboo, and it may influence the way in which the speaker's character is perceived. Moreover, wordplay also reflects on language and communication: it reveals surprising alternative readings, and emphasizes the phonetic similarity of linguistic signs that also points towards relations on the level of content. Wordplay unravels characteristics of literary language in everyday communication and opens up the possibility to analyze literary texts from a linguistic perspective. The first two volumes of the series The Dynamics of Wordplay therefore aim at bringing together contributions from linguistics and literary studies, focusing on theoretical issues such as basic techniques of wordplay, and its relationship to genres and discourse traditions. These issues are complemented by a series of case studies on the use of wordplay in individual authors and specific historical contexts. The contributions offer a fresh look on the multifaceted dynamics of wordplay in different communicative settings.

Ce volume se dédie à l'analyse du jeu de mots dans des textes et contextes variés, explorant les différentes appréciations du jeu de mots au fil du temps ainsi que les intermédiaires entre jeux de mots et phénomènes annexes. Comme DWP 6, DWP 7 présente les aboutissements du colloque interdisciplinaire The Dynamics of Wordplay / La dynamique du jeu de mots (Trèves, 2016), qui font ressortir les dynamiques propres à ce champ de recherche. This volume is dedicated to the analysis of wordplay in a variety of texts and contexts. It explores the evolution of wordplay and its appreciation over time, as well as the intermediate stages between wordplay and related phenomena. Together with DWP 6, DWP 7 gathers selected papers from the interdisciplinary symposium The Dynamics of Wordplay / La dynamique du jeu de mots (Trier, 2016).

Discourse Traditions are a key concept of diachronic Romance linguistics. The present manual aims to establish this approach at an international level by assembling contributions that introduce its theoretical foundations, discuss connections with alternative approaches of text and discourse analysis, show the relevance of Discourse Traditions for the history of Romance languages, and explore possibilities for future applications of the concept.
