Ericson, Nanna. "Domestication Norms in French and Swedish : A Comparative Study of Subtitles." Thesis, Stockholm University, Department of English, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-38762.
Full textAbstract:
France has long had its foreign audiovisual material dubbed. If this is due to an attempt to conserve the French language, there should also be similar concern with foreign cultural references. This essay uses qualitative analyses of extralinguistic references to discover if a so-called domesticating practice is notable also in French subtitling. Sweden, however, is a smaller country, and may be considered more Americanized culturally. Swedish subtitling is used as the more globalized counterpart.
This research cites instances in which extralinguistic references are made and how they are subsequently dealt with in the translated subtitles. The instances are singled out and then individually analyzed. Using four categories of translation methods for Extralinguistic Cultural References (ECRs), this study investigates whether translation norms differ between Swedish and French subtitles.
This study‘s most important finding is that there do seem to be different norms for Swedish and French subtitles and that the francophone target audience is not required to move so far from its domestic reference frame as is the Swedish target audience.
Another important finding is that while there are both quantitative and qualitative differences, there are also striking similarities on the statistical level, indicating that there are global norms that govern translation in general, and specifically subtitling.
The results are interesting for the discussion around which ECRs are domesticated, but also for further sociolinguistic analyses of French domestication.

Phillips, Anita. "Masochism and literature, with reference to selected literary texts from Sacher-Masoch to Duras." Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 1995. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/1685.
Full textAbstract:
The introductory section of the thesis puts forward a view of the usefulness of the concept of masochism in studying literature, arguing that the tendency has been inadequately formulated by psychoanalytic theory. It refers to debates within gay studies, feminism, psychoanalysis and literary studies to contextualise the argument of the thesis. The first chapter analyses Freud's key essay on masochism, 'The Economic Problem of Masochism' (1924) and appraises other theoretical contributions which have discussed the relation of masochism to artistic creativity. It goes on to critique the feminist view of women's masochism as reflecting patriarchal relations, and examines Jungian perspectives which focus on the notion of an imitatio Christi. Chapter two contrasts a Christian view of suffering with that of psychoanalysis. It examines Simone Weil's life and ideas in the light of a sublimatory or moral masochism, and looks at the 'agonic' thought of Unamuno. The historical moment at which the term masochism was coined is the focus of the opening part of chapter three. Sacher-Masoch's novel Venus in Furs is analysed, referring to Deleuze's commentary which emphasises the death instinct. Sacher-Masoch's untranslated novel, Die Seelenfängerin, is also discussed. Chapter four deals with Michel Leiris's L'age d'homme, analysing the central themes of masculinity, the risk inherent in literary creativity and the sacred element in masochistic self-exposures. The final chapter on works by Marguerite Duras examines a novella, L'homme assis dans le couloir, describing the process of reading as a form of masochistic introjection. It then looks at La douleur to focus on a masochistic, feminine rite of passage. A discussion of La maladie de la mort locates a shattered solitude within masochistic desire. The thesis concludes by proposing a more nuanced dialogue between psychoanalysis and literature, by emphasising the importance of an exploratory women's writing, and suggesting the need for a more consciously masochistic body politic.

Stewart, Miranda Mary. "Personal reference and politeness strategies in French and Spanish : a corpus-based approach." Thesis, Heriot-Watt University, 1992. http://hdl.handle.net/10399/1508.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to examine personal pronominal reference in two lang1;5ges, French and Spanish, from an interactional perspective. Brown and Levinson's (1978, 1987) 'Politeness theory' seeks to provide an explanation for much of the mismatch between what is 'said' and what Is 'implicated' in spoken discourse. One area of speech where this mismatch is particularly evident is that of personal reference where extralinguistic information is paramount in its use and interpretation. While previous approaches to this area have sought to assign one interpretation to a given pronominal use, this study seeks to show how speakers and hearers can exploit a multiplicity of potential values in the interest of faceprotection. Based on 5 qualitative methodology derived from the field of linguistic pragmatics applied to a corpus of naturally-oc:urring data of speech situations where there is threat to the face of speakers and hearers, this study will argue that the contextual factors of power and status as well as a knowledge of linguistic politeness itself are of crucial :mportance in the use and interpretation of persmal reference.

Hannagan, Lewis Valerie Christine. "The female body in question : a study of Monique Wittig's writings, with particular reference to L'Opoponax." Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 1996. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/1498.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a comprehensive study of Monique Wittig's fiction, in which I explore the links between womanhood, sisterhood and writing. Particular attention is paid to L'Opoponax (1964), in which I argue that Wittig suggests a way out of the impasse of Freudian theories of femininity. This is achieved at all levels: stylistic, formal and thematic. I begin by defining my psychoanalytic and literary contexts (Freud, Klein and Irigaray for the former, contemporary French, English and American women's writing for the latter), in order to introduce the major debates connected with the concept of the female body and its representation in Western culture. I then show how the Freudian drama of sexual difference - namely, castration anxiety as it affects the little girl - is both powerfully evoked and systematically sidestepped in L'Opoponax, with its focus on relationships between women. Using Klein and Irigaray, I describe the problems arising within the mother/daughter dyad. I suggest that L'Opoponax hints at a healed relationship but also leaves much unsorted; this is seen to pull against the radical innovations of later texts, particularly Le Corps lesbien, accounting for some of the violence to be found there. The question of the mother versus the woman is thus not fully closed, but creates a space within which the amantes, female lovers, can begin to live and move. I end by replacing this question within its wider context as it is a crucial one for the future development of feminist writing.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse présente le développement de ressources pour le traitement des informations temporelles de textes en français et en particulier la construction d'un corpus de référence, le French TimeBank, annoté selon la norme ISO-TimeML Les expressions temporelles, les événements ainsi que les relations temporelles qui existent entre ces entités y sont marqués. Pour la mise en œuvre de ce projet d'annotation, nous avons aussi développé un guide d'annotation ISO-TimeML pour le français et un système d'annotation automatique à base de règles. La création de ce guide a donné lieu à des améliorations du langage ISO-TimeML. D'une part, nous proposons des extensions du schéma d'annotation afin de permettre le traitement de phénomènes linguistiques en français, tels que les temps verbaux, l'aspect grammatical et les verbes modaux. D'autre part, nous proposons un ensemble d'améliorations pouvant également s'appliquer à d'autres langues. Le système d'annotation automatique a quant à lui servi à effectuer un traitement préalable des textes avant de procéder à une correction par des annotateurs humains. Une analyse quantitative et qualitative du French TimeBank nous a permis d'évaluer la méthodologie suivie pour sa création ainsi que de donner un aperçu du matériel linguistique employé pour l'expression de la temporalité en français. Cette analyse comprend une comparaison avec le corpus TimeBank 1. 2 pour l'anglais. Nous relevons aussi un certain nombre de points pouvant aider à améliorer les outils d'annotationsThis dissertation presents the development of resources for the processing of temporal information in French texts, with a particular focus on the construction of a reference corpus, the French TimeBank, annotated according to the ISO-TimeML standard. Temporal expressions and events, as well as the temporal relations between these entities are marked up. To carry out this annotation project, we also developed an ISO-TimeML annotation guide for French and an automatic rule-based annotation System. The creation of the guide lead us to propose a number of improvements to the ISO-TimeML language. Firstly, we propose extensions to the annotation schema in order to deal with certain linguistic phenomena in French, such as verb tense, grammatical aspect and modal verbs. Secondly, we propose a set o improvements also applicable to other languages. The automatic annotation System was used to perform preliminary processing of the texts before a manual correction by human annotators. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the French TimeBank allowed us to evaluate the methodolgy adopted for its creation as well as giving insight into the linguistic material used to talk about time in French. This analysis includes a comparison with the TimeBank 1. 2 corpus for English. We also note a number of factors that could help improve annotation tools. Size so the associated complexity to their generation remains reasonable. The proposed partitioning of generation is motivated by linguistic considerations

Dixon, John Spencer. "Representations of the East in English and French travel writing 1798-1882 : with particular reference to Egypt." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1991. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/35766/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of the thesis has been to offer a comparative analysis of discourses within English and French travel writing in the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in order to develop a more nuanced understanding of how the East was represented in this type of literature than that offered by Edward Said in his book Orientalism. The thesis considers the degree to which the latent racism and imperialism of western attitudes was universally expressed in this type of writing. While dates have been set for this study, the main reason for this has been to limit the vast body of archive material potentially relevant to its theoretical base. On occasion it has been necessary to step outside these dates in order to examine earlier eighteenth-century work or point out the relevance of this type of study to more recent western approaches to the East. The thesis shows a decline in the nineteenth century in popular belief in a fiction of the Orient as an imagined site of luxury and sensual indulgence, as travel writing countered this image with reports of real countries and peoples. The place of the aesthetic in French writing is considered here, as it offers a challenge to the more political perspective offered by Said. The thesis concludes by suggesting that there were other discourses in travel literature in this period which lie outside specifically racist and imperialist constructs, and therefore deepens and broadens the investigations undertaken by Said with reference to British and French travel writing of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Cazeilles, Olivier Demissy. "Problems of translating modern Scottish literature into French, with special reference to 'The crow road' by Iain Banks." Thesis, University of Stirling, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/21839.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis, which is written in French, examines the problems of translating modem Scottish literature into French. To illustrate them, a case study on The Crow Road by lain Banks will be undertaken. A short introduction first establishes the content of the thesis, its different parts and the strategy that we have adopted to tackle our main problem. This is identified as the cultural "otherness" of Scottish writing, which has been to a greater or lesser degree occulted in French translations of Scottish Literature. Chapter I looks at theoretical aspects of translation from a thematic point of view ranging from a philosophical approach, through a linguistic one to various cultural approaches, with specific reference to Eugene Nida and Lawrence Venuti. Chapter II examines Scotland as a nation and as a country with important linguistic and cultural differences from its southern neighbour. We will see how important this separation is in literature and how some theorists have dealt in particular with the problem of translating the vernacular. Chapter III is devoted to the analysis of the French translations of four Scottish authors, James Kelman, William McIlvanney, Irvine Welsh and lain Banks. It examines passages from the texts but also emphasises the strategies adopted by the translators. Chapters IV and V focus on respectively on lain Banks and The Crow Road in order to provide thorough social and cultural contextualisation before considering ways of translating the novel. Chapter VI considers a number of potential strategies for translating sections of The Crow Road: a 'domesticated' one, a Nabokov style, the use of a French dialect and finally one using Venuti's concepts. The conclusion suggests that translators are free to choose between competing strategies, or even to mix them, but that what is crucial is to have a thorough knowledge of the source culture, and a conscious and apparent strategy, before approaching works as culturally laden as contemporary Scottish novels. The Translator may have to have the courage to offend against existing French translation norms if translation is to be truly trans cui tural.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the study of Great Power nvaliy during 1958-1963, a period of both increasing political and economic cooperation in Western Europe and transatlantic relations within NATO against a background of the Cold War France and Britain are the focus of our analysis. The two states show the same characteristics in this period: Both powers had come out of World War H as victors and, despite having been much weakened by the war, had won an international status a Great Powers thanks to a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council. They were both colonial powers tiying to adjust to a new world order based on East-West bipolarity and the domination of the two super-powers. Against a background of international decline from pre-war power, both France and Britain were looking for new ways to secure their rank and international influence through both NATO and the EEC, while trying to adapt to a changed bi-polar and post-colonial world order. NATO and Europe are therefore the main issue area of this thesis, which is structured as a series of studies into the main areas of Anglo-French rivalry in the above period. We show that the real reasons for failed negotiations - whether over the Free Trade Area, tripartism in NATO, or British membership of the EEC - are to be found in Great Power rivahy for a leading place in Europe. We thus contend that Anglo-French political rivalry ultimately led to a breakdown of negotiations, rather than any of the negotiations themselves breaking down, and that NATO affairs and European affairs were closely linked. Each state failed to accept the other within its respective sphere of influence, since each had mutually exclusive interests, a factor which in the end, despite sincere efforts in both Paris and London, wrecked Anglo-French cooperation on Europe and NATO and thus prevented the two states from working together on restoring their declining international rank.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis on the Rise of the French Organ Symphony refers especially to the relevant works of Alexandre Guilmant and Charles-Marie Widor. It commences with a survey of the historical background, dealing with the development of French organ music from the 16th to 19th Century and the development of organ building in France from the 17th to 19th Century. It then proceeds to descriptions of the organs of St Clotilde, La Trinité and St Sulpice Churches in Paris, which are followed by biographical profiles of Cesar Franck, Alexandre Guilmant and Charles-Marie Widor, respectively. The major part of the thesis is devoted to a detailed analysis of the organ sonatas of Guilmant and the organ symphonies of Widor, which are discussed from the point of their cyclic outline and aspects of form and of style. The final chapter summarises the major findings of the analytical research and evaluates by comparative method, the merits and achievements of the two composers. In addition, Appendices are attached, providing specifications of various French organs and pictorial material relevant to the thesis. A separate cassette tape features characteristic sounds of Cavailie-Coll organs.

Chapter One provides an overview of the primary education
in Singapore with particular emphasis on the language
policies. The purpose and scope of the study and the
approach used in carrying out the study are also described
in this chapter.
Chapters Two to Six present descriptive features of the
teacher's teaching approach. Clarity in her goals and
instructions to her Year 3 and Year 5 classes were analysed
through extracts of the classroom discourse. The way the
teacher provided encouragement and feedback on errors to her
Year 3 class were also described.
The variation in the pace of her speech in relation to the
activities and the adjustments made when she posed questions
according to the language proficiency of the pupils, also
form part of the data analysed.
In Chapter Eight, conclusions were made of the possibility
of transferring the teaching approaches to the teaching of
English as a second language in primary schools in Singapore
by comparing the French program described in Chapter Seven
with the primary education system in Singapore.
The study concludes with an overview of the areas that
need further research and study.

Full textAbstract:
Dans un premier temps, afin de définir et de créer une typologie des ouvrages dictionnairiques existants concernant le sport, plus de 400 disciplines sportives ont été identifiées et plus de 200 ont été définies (celles qui étaient les moins répandues dans le monde). Elles ont été ensuite classées dans 19 groupes thématiques, classement qui a été par la suite soumis à une analyse critique. L'ensemble de ces disciplines a permis de référencer près de 500 ouvrages dictionnairiques à partir desquels différents critères d'élaboration d'un dictionnaire de spécialité ont pu être établis. Ainsi, les critères les plus pertinents et les plus adaptés ont été choisis pour élaborer le "Dictionnaire du rugby – L'Ovalie dans tous ses sens".Dans un second temps, une approche concernant ce dictionnaire de spécialité a été présentée en précisant les choix concernant, d'une part, le sujet, et d'autre part, la philosophie d'un tel ouvrage. Cette réflexion a porté sur l'objectif d'un tel dictionnaire, sur le public visé, sur la façon dont il a été rédigé ainsi que sur sa structure. En outre, il a été pertinent d'analyser le traitement du terme rugby (et de son vocabulaire) dans une quinzaine d'ouvrages. Enfin, une étude a été entreprise pour proposer la méthodologie concernant l'élaboration du "Dictionnaire du rugby – L'Ovalie dans tous ses sens" en insistant notamment sur le protocole de rédaction, sur la création de la charte graphique, sur la présentation du paratexte, sur l'élaboration de la nomenclature, sur les différentes étapes de la rédaction et sur celles de la correctionFirstly, in order to define and create a typology of existing dictionaries concerning sport, we identified more than 400 sports and among them we defined more than 200 sports (those which were the less common around the world). We then classified them into 19 thematic groups, which classification has been submitted to a technical review. All these sports have allowed us to reference near to 500 dictionaries from which we have been able to identify the various criteria which enable the writing of specialty dictionaries. We have chosen the most relevant and suitable criteria to write our "Dictionnaire du rugby – L'Ovalie dans tous ses sens".Secondly, we described our approach concerning this specialty dictionary by specifying our thought and choices related to, on the one hand, the subject and, on the other hand, the philosophy of a work of this kind. This reflection covered the objective of such a dictionary, the targeted public, the way it has been written and its structure. Furthermore, we considered the treatment of the term rugby (and of its vocabulary) in about fifteen books. Finally, we proposed our methodology for the writing of the "Dictionnaire du rugby – L'Ovalie dans tous ses sens" focusing in particular on the protocol of writing, the creation of a graphic chart, the presentation of the paratext, the conception of a nomenclature, and on the different steps of the writing and the rectifications

Johnston, Cristina. "The use of the spoken word in contemporary French minority cinema, with specific reference to banlieue and gay cinema (1990-2000)." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2005. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2052/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to analyse the ways in which the spoken word is used in two French minority cinemas – cinema de banlieue and gay cinema – between 1990 and 2000, in order to express an engagement with the complex, layered, and fractured identities of France’s citizens in the late twentieth century. This analysis will be conducted through three prisms which correspond to the three central chapters of the thesis: ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. These three areas of analysis were chosen because the particular aspects of individual and collective identity with which they engage embody the three central challenges to contemporary republican values which have emerged in 1990s debates. Each chapter will present a detailed examination of a series of onscreen verbal exchanges drawn from four key films, with supplementary reference to other works from the two genres studied here. These examinations will be placed against the socio-political backdrop of 1990s France in order to highlight their specific relevance to broader ongoing debates regarding the nature of French republicanism as critically interpreted. The first chapter will focus on verbal exchanges through the prism of ethnicity, and specifically on conflictual verbal encounters, as illustrated, in particular, in Hexagone (Chibane, 1994), La Haine (Kassovitz, 1995), Raï (Gilou, 1995), and La Squale (Généstal, 2000). The second chapter will examine constructions of gendered identities in Gazon maudit (Balasko, 1995), Douce maudit (Balasko, 1995), Douce France (Chibane, 1995), Ma 6-T va crack-er (Richet, 1997), and Belle Maman (Aghion, 1999), concentrating on verbal exchanges around parent-child relationships. Analysis in the final central chapter will be conducted through the prism of sexuality, examining onscreen exchanges involving friends and lovers in Pédale douce (Aghion, 1996), Le Ciel, les oiseaux et.. ta mère! (Bensalah, 1999), Le Derrière (Lemercier, 1999), and Drôle de Félix (Ducastel and Martineau, 2000). These chapters will pave the way to an attempt to come to terms with the question: Does the use of the spoken word in gay and banlieue cinema merely reaffirm the identity of separate communities, or does it rather function as a site for construction and reconstruction?

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche se situe dans le domaine de la didactique des langues et a trait à l'exploitation pédagogique de la littérature en tant que composante de la culture cible. Elle s'appuie sur une expérience menée en classe de français langue étrangère auprès d'étudiants étrangers non spécialistes de littérature et évoluant en milieu universitaire français, qui consistait à mettre en place des activités et projets autour des références littéraires présentes dans les titres et textes journalistiques français. L'hypothèse est que ces activités de décryptage de références culturelles, qui correspondent à une valeur d'usage social de la littérature à la mesure de ces apprenants en FLE, favorisent leur apprentissage du français dans le développement de la composante interprétative de leurs compétences culturelles. Une première expérimentation portant sur l'acquisition de connaissances littéraires tient compte de l'orientation actuelle de la didactique des langues vers des mises en oeuvre de type actionnel ; le suivi des étapes principales de réalisation de ces projets culturels autour d'auteurs français (Proust, Molière) en fait apparaître les deux tâches les plus caractéristiques : recherche documentaire et observation/analyse de documents. Une deuxième expérimentation portant sur l'utilisation de connaissances littéraires acquises considère le lien chez les natifs entre références communes et argumentation contenues dans trois articles de presse ; les observations permettent de mesurer l'impact de la culture littéraire en constitution chez des apprenants en français langue étrangère sur leur capacité à exercer une compétence interprétative. L'analyse des productions orales et écrites de ces apprenants permet de mettre en évidence certains éléments du rapport références littéraires/interprétation/acquisition du FLE qui peuvent servir à l'élaboration de situations autres que celles de l'enseignement de ou avec la littérature. En effet, toute mesure gardée sur sa portée et ses limites, cette étude peut intéresser tout enseignant de FLE désireux de développer chez ses apprenants l'acquisition d'un pan de culture cultivée (histoire, arts,...) à travers les usages et représentations de celle-ci chez les natifsThe research presented in this doctoral thesis is situated in the field of language didactics and deals with the pedagogical exploitation of literature as a component of the target culture. The research presented is based on in-class experiments carried out with foreign students learning French as a foreign language during a stay in France. The students in question were not specialists in literature, and the experiment consisted in a series of activities and projects that focused on literary references that were present in French journalistic sources (both within titles and the texts themselves). The hypothesis that guided this research is that the deciphering of cultural references that contain a value of social usage of literature corresponding to an accessible level for the learners of French as a foreign language facilitates the development of the interpretative component of their cultural competences. The first experiment respected the current task-based orientation of language didactics. Through monitoring the principal stages involved in the completion of these cultural projects, which were focused on French authors (Proust, Molière), two tasks were revealed as particularly characteristic: literature search and observation/analysis of documents. The second experiment examined the use of acquired literary knowledge. More specifically, this part of the research project analyzed, for native speakers of French, the connection between shared references and argumentation patterns found in three articles taken from the French press. The observations that resulted from this part of the research project made it possible to measure the impact of the learners' developing literary culture in French as a foreign language on their ability to use an interpretative competence. The analysis of oral and written productions from the learners who participated in this project reveals certain traces of the relationship between literary references/interpretation/acquisition of French, which can be used to create situations in teaching above and beyond the teaching of or with literature. Indeed, without overstating the importance of the current research and recognizing its limitations, the results may interest teachers of French as a foreign language who wish to help their students to develop the acquisition of a portion of Culture (history, arts, ...) based on natives' own use and representation

Full textAbstract:
Scholarly attention to late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century French art has focused on the importance that Johann Joachim Winckelmann attributed to the male nude figure in his definition of ideal beauty, and the impact of his work on debates over the 'beau idéal' in French art and art criticism. In contrast, Winckelmann's extensive interest in the detail of ancient costume, the folds of drapery, and the teleological and aesthetic significance that he ascribed to them, has been underplayed. The role played by costume and drapery as components of the 'beau idéal' in French art and aesthetics has also not been fully explored. This thesis examines the way in which costume and drapery formed an important component and embodiment of ideal beauty in the work of Winckelmann and in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century French artistic circles, providing new insights into the arguments over the meanings of Truth, Beauty and Nature in this period. The thesis proposes that ideal beauty in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth- century France was conveyed in works of art through the accurate rendering of costume and the expressive qualities of drapery in combination with the perfect form and contour of the nude body. The first part of the thesis sets up a proposition that costume and drapery formed part of the definition of ideal beauty in the work of Winckelmann. Highlighting the significance of Winckelmann's work on costume and drapery in French art theory, it demonstrates how the definition of ideal beauty in France also incorporated the accurate rendering of costume and the aesthetic impact of drapery. In demonstrating the significance of costume and drapery to both Winckelmann and French theorists it is proposed that the application of a meta-historical approach of costume and drapery to French art theory can provide new understandings and readings of the definition of ideal beauty, the hierarchy of the genres and the broader aesthetic concerns of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth- century French art. The second part of the thesis applies the proposed hermeneutic of costume and drapery to a small selection of theoretical work on the nature of ideal beauty and on a significant collection of Salon criticism. With this approach to the primary material this thesis demonstrates how French artists were able to express the 'beau idéal' within the traditional academic conventions and hierarchies, and negotiate the sense of public unease over the use of nudity in contemporary art.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks at three previously unstudied manuscript sources of French Classical organ music, and analyses the music within the two of them in the context of the published repertoire. After an introduction to altermatim performance and the ecclesiastical prescriptions governing this music, the author considers the extant repertoire of French Classical organ music in manuscript form, and the work which has so far been done on it. Volume 1 of the thesis consists of two parts. Part 1 contains three manuscript studies: D-MbsMus.Ms.1503k (c1660); B-BrMs.lll1508 (early 18th century);and F-PcMS4689 (early 18th century). The first manuscript contains figured bass and incomplete sketches of liturgical pieces, including a Messe double, as well as a number of written out fantaisies. The other two manuscripts contain fully-written out pieces. B-BrMs.lll1508 begins with a Messe du Huitiesme Ton, and contains a number of suites, as well as a few harpsichord and vocal pieces. Although the pieces in F-PcMS4689 may appear to be unlinked and do not bear liturgical attributions, the author shows that this manuscript in fact contains three organ masses, as well as a number of harpsichord pieces. The second part of volume 1 is devoted to an analysis of the music within the later two manuscripts – B-BrMs.lll1508 and F-PcMS4689 – in comparison with that in the published repertoire. Only a small number of such studies have been undertaken, the most significant being Morche (1979); Gallat-Morin (1988); and Ponsford (1999); and amongst these, only Gallat-Morin has considered any of the manuscript sources available. Volume 2 presents a modern transcription of F-PcMS4689.

Full textAbstract:
A detailed examination of the interactions between individuals and their wider social experiences is the primary aim of this thesis. It is intended that such an investigation will present a picture of local society within which the ties between individuals and families are more multi-faceted than a strict feudal presentation of society would allow. This formulation takes into account a number of components and involves the important consideration of religious patronage as an indicator of local attachments. The investigation of the social role of religious patronage, including consideration of personal motivation and the politics of choice, will be the subject of two chapters and will provide an important indication of the strength of local attachments and social ties. The main theme throughout this work will be that the development of local society involved the integration of a number of social groups within a framework provided by relatively clear geographical boundaries. This thesis thus aims to portray the main characteristics of local society in more three dimensional terms than have been previously attempted, by approaching the subject from a number of different angles. The thesis will accordingly elaborate the existing picture of Scottish society, through the movement of discussion away from the narrow confines of superior lordship.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail analyse la manière dont les expressions de la troisième personne dénotant des êtres humains peuvent référer aux destinataires d’un énoncé – par opposition à l’allocutaire – en français, anglais et allemand. Les formes de la troisième personne incluent tout élément linguistique déclenchant un accord à la troisième personne, considérée comme une catégorie hétérogène : pronoms (il(s), elle(s), on, en français, he, she, they, one en anglais, er, sie, man en allemand), pronoms interrogatifs et indéfinis (qui, quiconque, whoever, anyone, wer), quantifieurs (tous, chacun, certains, all, every, anyone, some, alle, jeder, manche, etc.), relatives précédées par ceux (ceux qui, those who, diejenigen, die) et groupes nominaux contenant un nom dénotant un agent humain (peuple, personnes, citoyen, people, citizen, Volk, Leute, Menschen, Bürger, etc.). A partir d’un corpus de débats parlementaires en France, en Allemagne et au Royaume-Uni, nous montrons que les locuteurs peuvent référer aux destinataires, conçus comme un rôle discursif distinct des personnes empiriques, par des expressions de la troisième personne. L’accent mis sur la première et la deuxième personnes a conduit à un relatif oubli des formes de la troisième personne. Pourtant, la conceptualisation des destinataires par des expressions de la troisième personne est explicite, omniprésente, fonctionnelle et se produit à une fréquence égale dans l’ensemble du corpus. En se concentrant sur le rôle discursif du destinataire, une attention particulière est accordée au système constitué par la deuxième et la troisième personnes, prises dans leur continuité plutôt que leur opposition, dans l’acte de référenceBased on a corpus of British, French, and German parliamentary debates, this research presents an integrated account of how third person expressions denoting human referents can encode the targets of an utterance – as opposed to the addressee. Third person forms include every linguistic item triggering third person agreement, regarded as a heterogeneous category: third person pronouns (he, she, one, they in English, il(s), elle(s), on in French, er, sie, man in German), interrogative and indefinite pronouns (whoever, qui, quiconque, wer), quantifiers (all, every, many, some, anyone, tous, chacun, beaucoup, certains, alle, jeder, viele, manche, etc.), relative clauses introduced by those (those who, ceux qui, diejenigen, die), and noun phrases containing a noun denoting a human agent (people, citizen, peuple, personnes, citoyen , Volk, Leute, Menschen, Bürger, etc.). I combine a trilingual contrastive research design with a qualitative discourse-analytic and a quantitative corpus- based perspective to determine how reference to the targets of an utterance, conceived as a speech role distinct from the empirical persons, can be achieved by third person expressions. With most existing research focusing on the first and second persons, third person reference has been considerably neglected. Yet, the conceptualisation of targets via third person expressions is explicit, pervasive, functional, and occurs with equal frequency throughout the political spectrum. 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 referring to addressees and targets of an utterance
In dieser Arbeit präsentiere ich eine umfassende Analyse der Funktionsweisen von englischen, französischen und deutschen Ausdrücken der dritten Person zur Bezeichnung menschlicher Referenten, an die eine Äußerung gerichtet ist. Zu den Formen der dritten Person gehören alle sprachlichen Elemente, die in Bezug auf die grammatischen Kategorien Person und Numerus mit Verben in der dritten Person verwendet werden: Personalpronomen (er, sie, man im Deutschen, he, she, they, one im Englischen, il(s), elle(s), im Französischen), Interrogativ- oder Indefinitpronomen (wer, whoever, qui, quiconque), Quantifikatoren (alle, jeder, viele, manche, all, every, many, some, anyone, tous, chacun, beaucoup, certains), Relativsätze (diejenigen, die, ceux qui, those who), und Nominalsyntagmen, die ein Substantiv enthalten, das einen menschlichen Referenten bezeichnet (Volk, Leute, Menschen, Bürger, people, citizen, peuple, personnes, citoyen, etc.). Anhand eines Korpus britischer, französischer und deutscher Parlamentsdebatten kombiniere ich ein sprachkontrastives Forschungsdesign mit einer qualitativen Diskursanalyse und einer quantitativen korpusbasierten Perspektive, um zu bestimmen, wie der Bezug auf die gemeinten Referenten erfolgt. Bisher hat sich die Forschung auf Formen der ersten und zweiten Person konzentriert und die dritte Person vernachlässigt, obwohl explizite, funktionale Bezüge auf den intendierten Referenten einer Äußerung in der dritten Person allgegenwärtig sind und im gesamten politischen Spektrum vorkommen

Le proverbe est un matériau linguistique fréquemment employé mais qui, aujourd’hui encore, soulève de vifs débats. Notre thèse a donc pour vocation d’étudier les caractères principaux de ce type de phrase pour en dégager les caractéristiques essentielles. Ainsi, nous analyserons des éléments d’ordre purement formel mais aussi des éléments liés à la nature de ce matériau. De plus, certaines questions fondamentales sont soulevées par l’existence de formes dérivées de proverbes, à savoir les variantes et les proverbes détournés. Que dire de ces phrases ? Remettent-elles en question le caractère figé du proverbe ? Enfin, nous analyserons le sens du proverbe. En effet, il est parfois malaisé de comprendre le lien entre ce que déclare explicitement le proverbe et le sens qui lui est attaché. Nos réflexions poseront donc une définition argumentée du proverbe qui servira de base à l’élaboration d’un dictionnaire thématique bilingue espagnol-français sur le thème de l’argentProverb is frequently used as a linguistically material that, still nowadays, raises lively discussions. Therefore, our thesis has for goal to study main characteristics of this kind of sentence in order to extract fundamental particularities. Thus, we are going to analyse purely formal elements as well as linked elements to it’s nature. In addition to this, some fundamental questions arise due to revised proverbs existence like “variants” and “deviated proverbs”. What can we say about these sentences? Do they modify proverbs’ formal structure? At last, we shall analyse proverb’s meaning because sometimes it is not obvious to understand the link between it’s literal sense and it’s meaning. Our reflections have to argue proverb’s meaning through a definition we will use in order to elaborate a bilingual French-Spanish dictionary whose theme will be money

"Effective oversight of Methodist Fresh Expressions : an exploration of how fresh expressions are challenging the practice, discipline, and ecclesiology of the Methodist Church, with specific reference to the task of presbyteral oversight." Thesis, Durham University, 2016. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11800/.
Full textAbstract:
The British Methodist Church defines oversight as the means by which churches remain true to their calling. Its presbyters are charged with upholding Constitution, Practice, and Discipline or ‘CPD’. This research employs a combination of Practical Theology methods to examine the challenge of applying CPD to fresh expressions (forms of Church established for the benefit of those who are not yet members of a local church). It offers three original insights in regard to the tension between mission-praxis and ecclesiological discipline. First, it provides empirical evidence to support the anecdotal observation that not all fresh expressions are authentic in that they lack ecclesial intent. A combination of factors inhibited this. New churches can be formed when twelve Methodist members unite. Current legislation allows members of the Church to belong to only one society, meaning that leaders face the conflict of leaving their parent church if they are to form a new church. Second, membership mediated an unequal power balance between fresh expressions and their parent churches, undermining progress towards achieving a ‘mixed economy’. This situation was confounded by the fact that newcomers to fresh expressions viewed Methodist membership as an institutional construct and requirement, rather than an opportunity for spiritual renewal. Third, the Methodist Church policy that encourages presbyters to apply CPD with a ‘light-touch’ in respect of how its disciplines are applied to new work, risks inconsistency. This thesis invites the Church to find a way of identifying which of its fresh expressions have genuine ecclesial intent, reflect on how membership is impacting their ecclesial formation, and widen its existing legislation so that a Methodist member may belong to two local societies at the same time. This, combined with additional District oversight, would remove some significant barriers to ecclesial formation.

Caet, Stéphanie. "Référence à soi et à l'interlocuteur chez des enfants francophones et anglophones et leurs parents." Thesis, Paris 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA030149.
Full textAbstract:
Jusqu’à l’âge de 4 ans, les enfants francophones et anglophones se désignent et désignent leur interlocuteur à l’aide de formes différentes standard et non standard de référence à soi et à l’autre. Par le passé, des paramètres d’ordres sémantique, morphosyntaxique et pragmatique ont été étudiés, afin d’identifier les facteurs en jeu dans la production de ces différentes formes. Dans cette étude, nous analysons le rôle du langage adressé à l’enfant, par les parents. Des études précédentes ont en effet suggéré que les usages à la fois standard et non standard de référence à soi et à l’enfant-interlocuteur pouvaient jouer un rôle dans le processus d’acquisition des pronoms personnels (cf. Rabain-Jamin et Sabeau-Jouannet, 1989; Budwig, 1996; Kirjavainen et al., 2009; Morgenstern, 2011). Aucune étude systématique des énoncés des parents adressés à l’enfant n’a cependant été réalisée à ce jour. Pour apporter des éléments de réponse à cette question, nous analysons les données issues de 4 corpus de la base de données CHILDES. Ces corpus sont constitués d’enregistrements vidéo mensuels d’interactions libres dans 2 dyades francophones et 2 dyades anglophones. Partant des formes non standard de référence à soi et à l’interlocuteur produites par les enfants, nous questionnons d’une part l’influence de la fréquence de formes et de constructions similaires dans l’input, sur les productions des enfants. Observant d’autre part que les enfants emploient des formes différentes dans des contextes différents, nous nous demandons si ces associations forme-fonction sont présentes dans l’input ou si elles sont créées par l’enfant. Notre méthode d’analyse se situe donc au croisement des approches constructivistes et fonctionnalistes du processus d’acquisition du langage. Nos observations suggèrent que les productions des enfants reflètent à la fois les spécificités de l’input et leurs propres analyses du langage qui leur est adressé. Progressivement, l’input des enfants se fait plus important et plus diversifié et les enfants acquièrent de nouveaux outils pour exprimer leurs intentions communicatives. Ils sont alors en mesure de se désigner comme locuteur et de désigner leur interlocuteur en tant que tel, quelle que soit la situationBefore the age of 4, English- and French-speaking children use standard and non standard forms to refer to themselves and their addressee. In the past, several semantic, morphosyntactic and pragmatic parameters have been investigated as potential factors responsible for these various forms. In the present study, we examine the role of parental speech on children’s productions. Previous research has in fact suggested that parents’ standard as well as non standard ways of referring to themselves and their child when addressing her, may play a role in the process of pronoun acquisition (cf. Rabain-Jamin and Sabeau-Jouannet, 1989; Budwig, 1996; Kirjavainen et al., 2009; Morgenstern, 2011). However, no systematic study of the speech parents address to their child has been conducted. To tackle this issue, we perform analyses on 4 corpora from the CHILDES database, composed of monthly video-recorded interactions in 2 French-speaking and 2 English-speaking dyads. Taking the children’s non standard ways of referring to themselves and their interlocutor as our starting point, we first question the influence of the frequency of similar forms and constructions observed in the input, on the children’s productions. Observing that the children use different forms in different contexts, we then ask whether these form-function associations can also be found in the input or whether children create them. Our method therefore combines constructivist approaches and functionalist approaches to the process of language acquisition. Our observations suggest that children’s productions reflect both the specificities of the surrounding input and their own linguistic and cognitive analyses. As they observe and use more and more language, acquire additional linguistic means of expressing their communicative intentions, and as the input and feedback they receive becomes diversified, children gradually come to refer to themselves as speakers and to their addressees as interlocutors

DigitalCommons@Robert W. Woodruff Library, Atlanta University Center, 2006. http://digitalcommons.auctr.edu/dissertations/1210.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation proposes an analysis of the consonants C/k/ and G/g/ from Vulgar Latin to the five Romance Languages: French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian in the initial, medial, and/or ending positions up to the 12th century. This study examined the evolution of C/k/ and G/g/ in each language while noting the history and cultures that impacted their evolution.
I discuss how the spoken language of Italian evolved slowly from the late Vulgar Latin of the Empire, in close contact with the universal standard of Medieval Latin, yet is consistent with the rest of the languages in this study when it comes to consonants /b/ d/g/ being pronounced as plosives when they occur at the beginning of the word. I examine the similarities that persist in Romanian and Italian, in spite of Romanian's isolation from the other Romance languages.
I selected these consonants based on the conjugation irregularity of Romance verbs. The findings reflect a consistent conclusion taking into account scribers' errors, political reformations and numerous wars: Relative to all the languages in this research: initial consonants, single or followed by another consonant, remained unchanged; less resistance is offered by intervocalic consonants that either weakened or just disappeared; and final unsupported (preceded by a vowel) consonants or supported (preceded by a consonant) either remained or disappeared, up to the twelfth century. Research also included such variables impacting the languages as cultural concerns; non-contact with other Romance languages; and, geographical isolation.

Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse se propose de répertorier et d’analyser les références au classicisme français et le rôle qu’il a joué dans la critique littéraire roumaine, depuis la Révolution de Tudor Vladimirescu (1821) jusqu’à la chute du régime communiste (1989). Après avoir replacé la réception du modèle dans le cadre de l’histoire de la Roumanie et de ses relations politiques et intellectuelles avec la France (notamment par une étude de la traduction des classiques français en langue roumaine) et après une analyse généalogique et esthétique du concept de « classicisme français », on s’est efforcé de restituer, dans le contexte de chaque grande époque de la modernité roumaine, puis, pour chacune de ces périodes, à travers l’étude plus spécifique de quelques écrivains et critiques choisis comme les plus représentatifs en cette matière, la persistance et le renouvellement de l’image du classicisme français, lui-même fréquemment perçu et analysé comme l’expression nationale d’un classicisme « universel ». Ce cheminement chronologique a permis de dégager les trois usages majeurs que la critique roumaine a faits de la référence à cette notion : celui de modèle pour une création littéraire qui se cherchait, celui de critère pour son évaluation et celui d’enjeu dans le cadre des débats suscités par les courants nouveaux qui auront animé la vie littéraire roumaine depuis son émergence jusqu’à la presque fin du XXe siècleThe present thesis proposes to catalogue and analyze references to French classicism and the role it has played in the Romanian literary criticism, from the Wallachian Uprising of 1821, led by Tudor Vladimirescu, to the fall of the communist regime (1989). After placing the reception of the model in the context of the history of Romania and its political and intellectual relations with France (including a study of the translation of French classics in Romanian) and after a genealogical and aesthetic analysis of the "French classicism" concept, we tried to reconstruct, in the context of each period of Romanian modernity, and, for each of these periods, through the more specific study of certain writers and critics considered the most representative in this matter, the persistence and renewal of the image of French classicism, itself frequently perceived and analyzed as the national expression of a "universal" classicism. This chronological process made it possible to identify the three manners in which the Romanian criticism used the reference to this notion: that of a model for a literary creation that sought itself, that of criterion for its evaluation and that of subject within the framework of debates aroused by the new currents that have animated the Romanian literary life since its emergence until the end of the twentieth century

Full textAbstract:
EL objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar la calidad percibida por los
usuarios externos e internos frente a los servicios que reciben en los Centros de
Referencia para Infecciones de Transmisión Sexual de la DISA Lima Sur, es
decir en los CERITS de Villa el Salvador y Chorrillos, en el periodo de Agosto a
Octubre del 2011.
El estudio es de tipo exploratorio de corte transversal, porque examina el tema
a investigar en un momento dado y en un lugar determinado. Es descriptivo,
porque a través del análisis e interpretación de los datos resultantes se procede
a describir la situación en función a las variables de estudio. Asimismo se aborda
con un enfoque cuantitativo puesto que buscamos determinar la magnitud de la
calidad percibida de los usuarios externos e internos a efectos de explorar las
razones de sus respuestas.
La Unidad de Análisis está conformada por:
- Usuarios Externos (UE): Población vulnerable al VIH SIDA (HSH, TRANS y TS)
que hace uso de la Atención Medica Periódica – AMP brindada en los CERITS.
Para el análisis de carácter cuantitativo se validaron 117 encuestas aplicadas
bajo el modelo SERVQUAL. Asimismo, se efectivizaron 09 entrevistas semiestructuradas
a usuarios externos que además son Promotores educadores
pares de los CERITS. Adicionalmente se aplicaron 12 entrevistas a no usuarios
de AMP.
- Usuarios Internos (UI): Los prestadores de los servicios de AMP, de los
mismos que se validaron 08 entrevistas semi-estructuradas y encuestas bajo el
modelo SERVQUAL. Así mismo, se realizaron 04 entrevistas semi-estructuradas
(encuestas dicotómicas): 02 a los responsables de los dos CERITS y 02 a los a
los responsables de calidad de las dos Redes a las que pertenecen los CERITS,
a efectos de conocer las prácticas de calidad aplicadas.
Los dos grupos de usuarios analizados están conformados por personas
mayores de 18 años.
Los resultados de la investigación nos han permitido conocer la calidad percibida
de los usuarios externos e internos de los CERITS. La calidad percibida viene a
ser la brecha que existe entre el valor de las expectativas antes de recibir el
servicio y la percepción después de haberlo recibido. Se ha tomado como referencia los diferentes atributos del Sistema de Gestión de la Calidad que el
MINSA utiliza para evaluar el servicio brindado, siendo para usuarios externos:
Respeto al Usuario, Oportunidad, Competencia profesional/Eficacia, Información
completa, Accesibilidad, Seguridad, Satisfacción global y, para usuarios internos:
Trabajo actual, Interrelación con el jefe inmediato, Oportunidades de progreso,
Remuneraciones e incentivos, Interrelación con los compañeros de trabajo,
Ambiente de trabajo, Trabajo en general.
La CALIDAD PERCIBIDA por los usuarios externos presenta una brecha
promedio de -0.37, la cual está influenciada por las brechas negativas de los
CERITS de Chorrillos (-0.16) y de Villa el Salvador (-0.59). De estas cifras se
puede concluir que las brechas presentadas en cada ítem evaluado son
pequeñas.
Los servicios prestados en el CERITS Chorrillos alcanzaron o superaron las
expectativas de los usuarios externos en veintiuno (21) de los cincuenta (50)
ítems evaluados; a diferencia de Villa el Salvador, donde esta cifra disminuye a
tres (03). Los tres ítems que colmaron o superaron las expectativas en ambos
CERITS, están relacionadas con la atendieron sin discriminación y el respeto a
la privacidad, ambos ítem corresponden a los atributos: RESPETO AL USUARIO
Y SEGURIDAD.
Un aspecto resaltante es que de los diez (10) ítems que presentan mayores
brechas negativas, ocho (08) corresponden a los mismos aspectos en ambos
CERITS, y cinco (05) de ellos pertenecen al atributo SEGURIDAD. Esto último
está influenciado por las expectativas no superadas en lo que respecta a
encontrar mecanismos para presentar sugerencias quejas y reclamos, y cuando
éstos se encontraron, sus demandas no fueron resueltas.
En general, la calidad percibida presenta mínimas brechas negativas, como
consecuencia de una buena percepción de los servicios recibidos, lo que nos
lleva a concluir que el servicio brindado en los CERITS no es la causa de las
bajas coberturas.
En función a lo anterior, un aspecto importante a considerar es que de los 12 no
usuarios entrevistados, 07 manifestaron no haber oído hablar de los CERITS y
06 haber asistido a otras organizaciones que brindan servicios similares al
CERITS, debido a los beneficios recibidos, entre ellos: i) compensación monetaria por su asistencia; ii) atención médica gratuita; iii) horarios adecuados
a su disponibilidad de tiempo; iv) otros.
Las mayores brechas de calidad de los usuarios internos se presentaron en el
atributo OPORTUNIDADES DE PROGRESO, a pesar que en términos generales
los usuarios internos manifiestan estar satisfechos con el trabajo que realizan,
ésta sensación de satisfacción no se sostiene en lo que el CERITS le ofrece para
su desarrollo personal y profesional. Por otro lado, se encontró que el trabajo
que realizan estos usuarios no es exclusivo, es decir, es multifuncional y rotativo;
esto conlleva a que no todo el personal está capacitado para atender a este tipo
de población vulnerable, afectando a la calidad de atención.
El Sistema de Gestión de la Calidad es empírico debido al desconocimiento de
normas, falta de seguimiento y control que asegure el cumplimiento de las
mismas, disponibilidad de tiempo, necesidad de capacitación, falta de
compromiso del personal a todo nivel, entre otros.
Es necesario desarrollar un mejor manejo gerencial con la participación de todos
los prestadores de los servicios la organización. En ese sentido, es
indispensable que el gerente o administrador, maneje y aplique principios
administrativos que propicien el logro de los objetivos con eficiencia en el uso de
los recursos disponibles, compra de insumos adecuados a las necesidades de
los usuarios externos y con la premura que se requiere; implementar programas
de capacitación en procesos de mejoramiento continuo de la calidad, mejorar los
mecanismos de recepción de información (buzón de quejas y sugerencias),
mecanismos de reconocimiento al buen desempeño del personal, planificar
acciones que permitan atender situaciones de emergencia, entre otros.
El personal entrenado para realizar los procesos de mejoramiento de la calidad,
en general son muy pocos. Se requiere de un plan estructurado y formal de
capacitaciones a todo nivel en temas de calidad y gestión de las mismas, dado
que las capacitaciones programadas por la DISA son prácticamente nulas.Tesis

Cette thèse explore le fonctionnement indexical des pronoms démonstratifs anglais this, that et it d'une part, et des pronoms démonstratifs français, en particulier ça, d'autre part, en vue d'une comparaison entre ces deux systèmes. L'ensemble des phénomènes référentiels et discursifs observés sont ramenés à certaines caractéristiques syntactico-sémantiques propres à chaque démonstratif, alors formalisées dans le cadre de la Grammaire Notionnelle Dépendancielle. Les occurrences de this, that, it et ça analysées étant issues de conversations orales spontanées et enregistrées selon le protocole des projets PAC et PFC, notre étude apporte un questionnement sur les avantages et les limites des grands corpus oraux pour les recherches en linguistique théorique.

A pesquisa está contextualizada na sociedade de risco global, na sociedade da informação, em que o conhecimento redefine estruturas de poder, e no paradigma do Estado Democrático de Direito, inspirado por Jürgen Habermas, no qual os destinatários das normas são também seus autores. A teoria do direito, fundada no discurso, entende o Estado Democrático de Direito como a institucionalização de processos e pressupostos comunicacionais necessários para uma formação discursiva da opinião e da vontade, a qual possibilita o exercício da autonomia política e a criação legítima do direito. O paradigma procedimentalista do direito procura proteger as condições do procedimento democrático. A crise do Estado interventor gerou uma retomada da idéia de mais sociedade e menos Estado; contudo, sendo este último ainda o grande protetor dos diversos interesses públicos, é preciso que a exo-regulação estatal encampe a endo-regulação social,direcionando-a para a realização dos direitos fundamentais, e não para a mera correção de falhas de mercado. Ressalte-se ainda que os processos regulatórios estão ocorrendo em vários centros de produção normativa e não mais apenas no Poder Legislativo. Movimentos sociais em prol da democratização das comunicações no Brasil divulgaram a ocorrência de possíveis vícios no processo regulatório de escolha do padrão da televisão digital terrestre e aberta no Brasil. Adotada essa denúncia como hipótese de pesquisa, confrontada por elementos bibliográficos e documentais, foi analisado o desenvolvimento do processo regulatório mencionado frente aos princípios constitucionais da precaução/prevenção, informação, participação e responsabilidade/motivação/prestação de contas. A hipótese restou, em grande parte, confirmada. As estruturas de aplicação do direito, contudo, não estão aparelhadas para o controle da legitimidade dos processos regulatórios, limitando-se à análise de sua legalidade. Essa deficiência dos mecanismos de controle dos processos regulatórios reforça a importância do cumprimento dos princípios constitucionais acima referidos quando da formulação das normas regulatórias. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The research context is the risk and media centered society, where information redefines power structures, and the democratic rule of law paradigm, based on Jürgen Habermas’theory, in which rules addressees are also rules authors. The discourse paradigm sees the democratic rule of law as the normative justificational discourses, derived from the communicative power, that makes possible the existence of politics autonomy and the legitimate lawmaking. The deliberative concept of democracy intends to protect the democratic procedure conditions. The Welfare State’s crisis reinforces the idea of more society and less state, but, considering the latter as the great defender of public interests, the state regulation needs to embrace the social regulation in order to realize the fundamental rights and not only the correction of market failures. The regulatory procedures, however, are happening in many institutions which produce originary discourses of justification and not only at the Legislative Power. Social movements for the communication democratization in Brazil have pointed out the existence of vices in the regulatory procedure to choose the brazilian digital terrestrial and free broadcast/television standard. Adopting this denunciation as the research hypothesis, analyzed with bibliography and documents, the development of the mentioned regulatory procedure was studied to detect the respect or not for the constitutional principles of precaution/prevention, information, participation and accountability. The hypothesis was mostly confirmed. The law-applying structures, however, are not prepared to deal with the legitimacy control of the regulatory procedures. They are restricted to the legality analysis. This deficiency in control mechanisms reinforces the importance of the respect for the constitutional principles referred before when formulating originary discourses of justification in regulation.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail est consacré aux journalistes des quotidiens russes et français qui couvrent l’actualité politique depuis le terrain biélorusse. Les représentations de ceux-ci, nationales mais également transnationales, sont au cœur de nos interrogations. Leurs interactions coopératives permettant de fabriquer les élections biélorusses pour les publics russes et français est un autre aspect de ce travail. Leur discours, encadré par le projet éditorial de chacun des journaux pour lesquels ils travaillent, est le troisième point que cette thèse éclaire. Nous tâchons d’identifier les valeurs communes faisant adhérer les acteurs au monde de la production de l’information à Minsk, activé par les reporters étrangers. De plus, nous révélons des dynamiques internes aux groupes prenant part à la production mutuelle de l’information, qui font en sorte que ce monde est composé de communautés distinctes, réunies autour de leurs objectifs, leurs identités propres, ayant un discours propre. La question des frontières des communautés se pose ainsi, et permet de faire émerger l’équipe des reporters étrangers et la communauté opposante biélorusse. La structure de ces deux communautés, les rapports entre les membres de celles-ci, leurs conventions internes, leurs rapports aux coéquipiers et aux étrangers du groupe sont également des questions que ce travail se pose. Enfin, nous interrogeons les résultats de cette coopération, qui s’inscrivent dans les projets éditoriaux des journaux russes et français. Il s’agit de l’expression des logiques professionnelles à l’échelle éditoriale, visibles à travers l’énonciation des titres de presseThis work focuses on the journalists from Russian and French daily newspapers who cover political events on the Belarussian territory. Their own national and transnational representations, are at the center of our questioning. The way their cooperative interactions elaborate the Russian and French audience's perception of the Belarusian elections is another aspect of this work. Their narrative, framed by each newspaper's editorial project for which they work is the third aspect this thesis explores.Our goal is to identify the common values that tie together the different actors of the world of information in Minsk, which is motivated by foreign reporters. Furthermore, we shed light on inner dynamics within the groups that take part in the mutual production of information, which create distinct communities that make up this world and are united around their own objectives, their own identities, and their own narrative. This is where the matter of borders between these communities lies and allows us to reveal the foreign reporters' team and the Belarusian dissident community. This work also interrogates the structures of both communities, the relationships between their respective members, their inner conventions, the relations between colleagues and individuals outside of the group. Finally, we explore the results of such cooperation, which are in line with the editorial projects of the Russian and French newspapers. Thus we analyze the expression of professional logistics on an editorial scale that transpires through the enunciation of the different press titles
