Abstract

In The Thirteenth-Century Notion of Signification, Ana Maria Mora-Marquez presents an exhaustive study of the three 13th-century discussions explicitly dealing with the notion of "Significatio". Her study aims to show that the three discussions emerge because of apparently opposite claims about the signification of words in the authoritative literature of the period, namely in Aristotle, Boethius and Priscian. It also shows that the three discussions develop in the same direction - towards a unified use of the notion of signification, which keeps its explanatory role in semiotics, but loses its role in grammar and logic. Mora-Marquez offers us the first exhaustive analysis of the scholarly discussions around the notion of signification in the pre-nominalist medieval tradition.

Abstract

Le sens linguistique a de tout temps fasciné l'homo orationis, car c'est l'aspect du langage qui nous affecte le plus directement dans notre vie quotidienne. Qu'on songe à l'importance d'avoir le mot juste, et l'on est plongé dans des considérations de polysémie, synonymie, homonymie. S'ajoute le contexte et ses problèmes de sens pragmatique, métaphore, métonymie. Une bonne saisie de certaines propriétés d'inférence ou de référence peut avoir des conséquences importantes, voire vitales. Or le sens est la composante du langage la plus difficile d'accès pour une étude scientifique rigoureuse : contrairement à la phonétique, la phonologie, la morphologie, la syntaxe, aucune donnée de sens n'est directement mesurable avec des instruments scientifiques. Cette difficulté à cerner l'objet d'étude fait que le sens linguistique est parfois considéré avec méfiance en linguistique moderne et a donné lieu à des recherches indépendantes aux approches variées. Cet ouvrage regroupe une partie des communications présentées au colloque Représentations du sens linguistique qui s'est tenu à l'Université du Québec à Montréal en mai 2003. Le but de l'événement était de faire l'état des lieux des différentes réponses apportées à la question de la nature des représentations et contraintes des différents aspects du système sémantique d'une langue. Le recueil comporte les travaux de chercheurs d'approches variées afin de profiter pleinement de leur complémentarité.

Abstract

"This book, the first systematic exploration of the third person in English, German, and French, takes a fresh look at person reference within the realm of political discourse. By focusing on the newly refined speech role of the target, attention is given to the continuity between second and third grammatical persons as a system. The role played by third-person forms in creating and maintaining interpersonal relationships in discourse has been surprisingly overlooked. Until now, third-person forms have overwhelmingly been considered as referring to the absent, i.e. to someone outside the communication situation, other than the speaker or the hearer: the "nonperson". By broadening the scope and finally integrating the third person, we come to understand The Politics of Person Reference fully, and to see the strategic, argumentative, and dialogical nature of the act of referring to other discourse participants, understood as the act of creating new referents"--

Abstract

Referential expressions include terms such as determiners, proper names, noun phrases, pronouns, and all other expressions that we use to make reference to things, beings, or events. The first of its kind, this book presents a detailed, integrated account of typical and atypical uses of referential expressions, combining insights from discourse, cognitive, and psycholinguistic literature within a functional model of language. It first establishes a foundation for reference, including an overview of key influences in the study of reference, the debates surrounding (in)definiteness, and a functional description of referring expressions. It then draws on a variety of approaches to provide a comprehensive explanation of atypical uses, including referring in an uncollaborative context, indefinite expressions used for definite reference, reference by and for children, and finally metonymic reference with a special focus on metonymy in medical contexts. Comprehensive in scope, it is essential reading for academic researchers in syntax, discourse analysis, and cognitive linguistics.
