Esta pesquisa visa à análise léxico-semântica das unidades lexicais de denominação (substantivos e adjetivos) utilizadas pela imprensa escrita brasileira (revistas Veja, Época e Isto É e jornal Folha de S. Paulo) durante a cobertura da guerra dos Estados Unidos contra o Iraque, entre fevereiro e abril de 2003. Tal investigação visa a ressaltar a importância das escolhas lexicais na formação dos enunciados. Pretende-se também analisar a manipulação de idéias decorrente da seleção lexical e suas conseqüências para o trabalho jornalístico. Foram apontadas, ainda, dentre as publicações analisadas, quais foram as que mais empregaram unidades lexicais com traços de significação com tendência a influenciar os leitores. Trabalhou-se com a hipótese de que as escolhas lexicais podem ou tendem a orientar a opinião do leitor. A corrente teórica utilizada é a da Semântica Lexical Estruturalista, baseada em trabalhos de pesquisadores como Ferdinand de Saussure, Bernard Pottier, Horst Geckeler, Louis Guilbert, Oswald Ducrot, Kurt Baldinger, Eugènio Coseriu, Algidras Julien Greimas, Johns Lyons, Frank Palmer, Charles Muller, Stephen Ullmann, Trier, Weisgerber, Mario Vilela, Maria Aparecida Barbosa e Maria Teresa Biderman, entre outros. A análise das unidades lexicais teve início com a leitura dos textos obtidos dos veículos da imprensa, dos quais foram extraídas as unidades nominais (substantivos e adjetivos), considerando-se o contexto em que estavam inseridas. Estas unidades foram analisadas de acordo com as relações de significação que mantêm entre si (sinonímia, polissemia, homonímia e hiponímia). As relações de significação e a identificação dos traços significativos presentes nos contextos, demonstraram a intencionalidade na opção de uma palavra em detrimento das outras possíveis, no momento da enunciação.
This research aims the lexical-semantical analysis of the lexical unities of denomination (nouns and adjectives) used by Brazilian written press (Veja, Época and Isto É magazines and Folha de S. Paulo journal) during the covering of The United States war against Iraq, between February and April, 2003. Such investigation aims at standing out the importance of lexical choices in the enunciation forming. It is also intended to analyze the manipulation of ideas resulting from the lexical selection and its consequences to journalistic work. Among the analyzed publications, those that used more lexical unities with traces of signification tending to influence readers were pointed out. It has been taken into consideration the hypothesis that lexical choices can or tend to orient reader opinion. The theoretical current used is the Structuralist Lexical Semantics, based on works of researchers as Ferdinand Saussure, Bernard Pottier, Horst Geckeler, Louis Guilbert, Oswald Ducrot, Kurt Baldinger, Eugenio Coseriu, Algidras Julien Greimas, Johns Lyons, Frank Palmer, Charles Muller, Stephen Ullmann, Trier, Weisgerber, Mario Vilela, Maria Aparecida Barbosa and Maria Teresa Biderman, among others. The lexical unities analysis was initiated with the reading of texts from media, from where the nominal unities (nouns and adjectives) were picked out, considering the context in which they were inserted. These unities were analyzed according to the meaning relation that they keep among themselves (synonymy, polysemy, homonymy, hyponymy). The meaning relations and the identification of significant traces in the context show intentionality in the option of one word in detriment of possible others, at the enunciation moment.

Esta tese tem por objetivo o levantamento e organização de substantivos e adjetivos, extraídos dos exemplares da revista Claudia, abrangendo os anos de 1961 a 1969, em campos lexicais para retratar aspectos ideológicos e comportamentais de parte do universo feminino brasileiro. Pretende-se, então, através do estudo do vocabulário, já que nele a vida, os valores e as crenças de uma comunidade se revelam, fazer uma análise do comportamento feminino brasileiro da década de sessenta. Para tanto, será aplicado o Sistema de Conceitos de Rudolf Hallig e Walter von Wartburg. A aplicação deste sistema de conceitos realiza-se de acordo com os fundamentos da análise estrutural semântica. Como suporte teórico, adotou-se a linha de pesquisa da Lexicologia de origem francesa, postulada por Matoré (1968) e Dubois (1971) que estabelecem uma relação entre Lexicologia e Sociologia. Ainda em relação à revista, fazse mister registrar que sua primeira publicação ocorreu em final de 1961; foi considerada, à época, a mais moderna publicação dirigida ao público feminino, e pretendia atingir as mulheres das classes A/B, de 20 a 35 anos, casadas, com filhos, cujas maiores preocupações eram o lar e a família. Utilizamos, para a organização do corpus, exemplares pertencentes ao acervo da Biblioteca Mário de Andrade da cidade de Araraquara e da Biblioteca Mário de Andrade da cidade de São Paulo.
This thesis aims at investigating and organizing nouns and adjectives, extracted from Claudia magazine samples, comprising the years from 1961 to 1969, in lexical groups to show ideological and behavioral aspects of part of the Brazilian female universe. Thus, it is intended, through the vocabulary study, once the community values and believes reveal themselves in it, to analyze the Brazilian female behavior of the sixties’. To do so, the Concept System of Rudolf Hallig and Walter von Wartburg will be used. The use of this concept system is done in accordance to the basis of the structural semantic analyses. As theoretical support, it was utilized the research line of the Lexicology of French origin, postulated by Matoré (1968) and Dubois (1971) who establish a relation between Lexicology and Sociology. Concerning the magazine, it is important to register that its first publications happened at the end of 1961; it was considered, at that time, the most modern publication addressed to the female public, and it intended to reach the women from class A/B, from 20 to 35 years old, married, with children, whose highest concerns were their homes and family. We used, for the organization of the corpus, samples of the Library Mário de Andrade property from Araraquara city and of the Library Mário de Andrade from São Paulo city.

Abstract:

Propusemo-nos, nesta Dissertação de Mestrado, a analisar a unidade mínima de significação da Etnoterminologia no léxico de Grande Sertão: Veredas, em sua vertente etnoliterária, para compreender como a realidade fenomênica é refletida na axiologia do grupo sócio-linguístico-cultural do sertanejo dos gerais. Analisamos, em suas diferentes etapas, o processo de conceptualização de alguns vocábulos-termos de algumas denominações da obra. Tal processo se dá no percurso gerativo da enunciação e é constituído por conjuntos de semas conceptuais, os noemas. A análise linguística desvelou como as denominações, produto do fazer persuasivo do sujeito enunciador, originam-se nas qualidades conceituais da cognição e são materializadas em traços semânticos específicos, ou nos conceitos de cada unidade lexical, integrando o processo de modalização. Pudemos observar que o conceptus, em sentido amplo, parte, em sua trajetória do natural, em direção ao cultural, e se expande com o acréscimo de semas conceptuais formadores que se organizam em dois conjuntos: os de natureza cultural e ideológica e aqueles de natureza modalizante e intencional. Guimarães Rosa transplantou suas pesquisas linguísticas para seus textos, ao abrigo das denominações, e realçou significantes amalgamados a conceitos portadores de exclusividades semânticas que se erigem na própria especificidade que nomeia os seres, resultado dos conhecimentos herdados e amealhados ao longo de gerações. É nessa exclusividade semântica que a fronteira existente entre o vocábulo e o termo das linguagens de especialidades torna-se densa em seu romance, e é, nesses limites, que se apresenta o vocábulo-termo, no qual o autor encontra a palavra vigorosa, profunda e não desgastada pelo uso impróprio. Verificamos, sobretudo, a partir da análise das palavras escolhidas por nós, a gênese do vocábulo-termo nas especifidades linguísticas regionais e que desenha etnicamente a identidade de um grupo. Sabemos que em todas as obras de Rosa se verifica, em maior ou menor proporção, o uso das virtualidades que o sistema linguístico oferece aos seus falantes, e a abordagem dos aspectos sociolinguísticos, convergindo para o semantismo inusitado do vocábulo-termo rosiano, colaborou, do nosso ponto de vista, para melhor caracterizá-las em sua vertente etnoliterária. A análise dos vocábulos-termos de Grande Sertão: Veredas evidencia o processo de ressemantização da palavra usada na língua geral. Ou seja, novos sememas enriquecem a unidade léxica e, também, a experiência de quem se aproxima do texto, ao realizar-se em aspectos referenciais, pragmáticos e simbólicos, constituindo-se, simultaneamente, em documento semântico e social de uma cultura. As palavras de uso em língua geral se constituem em signos-símbolos em Grande Sertão: Veredas.
In this Master´s Dissertation we have proposed to analyze the minimal unit of meaning in the Ethno-terminology in the lexicon of Grande Sertão: Veredas, in its ethno-literary aspect, in order to understand how the reality of phenomenon is reflected in the axiology of the social-linguistic-cultural group of the sertanejo dos gerais. We have analyzed, in its different stages, the process of conceptualization of some word-terms of some of the work´s denominations. Such process takes place in the generative trajectory of enunciation and is constituted by groups of conceptual semes, the nemes. The linguistic analysis revealed how the denominations, result of the persuasiveness of the announcer subject, originate in the conceptual qualities of cognition and are materialized in specific semantic traits, or in the concepts of each lexical unit, integrating the modalization process. We could observe that the conceptus, in its broad meaning, moves from its natural trajectory towards the cultural, and expands with the addition of conceptual semes which get organized in two groups: the ones with a cultural and ideological nature and the ones with a modalizing and intentional nature. Guimarães Rosa transplanted his linguistic research to his texts, to the protection of denominations, and enhanced the significants tied to concepts bearing semantic exclusivities which build from the specificity that names the beings, result of the knowledge inherited and grouped over generations. It is in this semantic exclusivity that the frontier that exists between word and term of the languages of specialities become dense in his novel, and it is, in those boundaries, that the word-term presents itself, in which the author finds words which are vigorous, profound and not wasted by inappropriate use. We have verified, especially, in the analysis of words chosen by us, the genesis of the word-term in the regional linguistic specificities and which draws ethnically the identity of a group. We are aware that in every of Rosa´s work, in a smaller or bigger proportion, we verify the use of the virtuality that the linguistic system offers to its speakers, and the approach of the sociolinguistic aspects, converging to an unused semantics of the word-term in Rosa, which collaborated, in our point of view, to better characterize them in this ethno literary aspect. The analysis of the word-terms in Grande Sertão: Veredas demonstrates a resemantic process of the word used in the general language. That is, new sememes enrich the lexical unit, and also, the experience of those who approach the text, in referential, pragmatic and symbolic aspects, constituting, simultaneously, a semantic and social document of a culture. The words in use in general language constitute symbol-signs in Grande Sertão: Veredas.

A cidade de Ibitinga destaca-se nacionalmente no ramo dos bordados, com sua economia voltada quase que exclusivamente à produção dessas peças. Tendo esse contexto como pano de fundo, esta dissertação discute todo o processo linguístico e linguístico-computacional de construção de ontoléxicos – constructos formais cuja natureza léxico-conceitual possibilita o desenvolvimento de investigações teóricas (estudos lexicogramaticais) e aplicadas (construção de recursos lexicográficos e para o processamento computacional de informação textual disponível na Web). Em particular, constrói um ontoléxico exploratório que entrelaça conceitos e itens lexicais do domínio léxico-conceitual da Indústria do Bordado de Ibitinga. O embasamento teórico-metodológico assenta-se nos estudos de semântica lexical (wordnets) e de frames (framenets), pura e computacional, de processamento automático de língua natural e de ontologias.
Ibitinga, which is a Brazilian town nationally known for its outstanding position in the embroidery business, has its economy almost totally based on the production of a broad selection of embroideries. With this embroidery industry in the backdrop, this master thesis describes the whole linguistic and computational-linguistic process of construction of ontolexicons – formal constructs whose lexical-conceptual nature allows for both theoretical (lexical-grammar construction) and applied (lexicographical and ontolexical resource construction) research. In particular, the study focuses on the design and implementation of a toy ontolexicon for the Ibitinga Embroydery Industry lexical-conceptual domain. Its theoretical foundations have drawn heavily on lexical semantics (wordnets), frame semantics (framenets), natural language processing, and ontologies.

Resumo: O propósito desta pesquisa é investigar a natureza da arquitetura cognitiva do sistema linguístico -- focando sobre seu componente (ou nível) lexical. Especificamente, o objetivo é atender ao debate entre duas posições supostamente distintas sobre o processamento lexical, nominalmente, interacionismo e modularidade. Primeiramente as propostas são revisadas e o design geral da pesquisa é apresentado. A estratégia experimental é usar palavras ambíguas em diferentes contextos sentenciais-semânticos de maneira a observar os níveis de "ativação" de seus significados. Duas técnicas experimentais são empregadas. Primeiro, um estudo "gating" determina os pontos de investigação nas palavras ambíguas. Segundo, testes crosmodais de decisão lexical servem para medir de maneira "on-line" os efeitos do contexto na resoluçao da ambiguidade lexical. Os resultados, ainda que parciais, levantam problemas para uma distinção clara entre as propostas modular e interativa. Esses problemas são abordados na parte final, onde a idéia de um léxico mental modular é identificada como "parser" morfológico

Abstract:

Alguns elementos da realidade histórica e cultural, identificados em obras de ficção que tratam do Rio Grande do Sul, contribuíram e ainda contribuem para a construção de um imaginário social e de uma identidade regional, seja nas representações do ambiente em que se passa a narrativa ou na própria linguagem utilizada pelo escritor. Partindo do pressuposto de que as escolhas lexicais do escritor, em seu texto, são fatores relevantes para a configuração do contexto histórico de uma determinada época, este trabalho analisa as relações entre o léxico do romance A casa das sete mulheres (2002), de Leticia Wierzchowski, e a cultura regional gaúcha. Para atingir os objetivos, a presente dissertação desenvolve uma análise léxico-semântica da representação das características histórico-culturais e sociais do Rio Grande do Sul a partir da seleção de lexias, organizadas em campos lexicais conforme a teoria de Coseriu (1979). Utiliza-se como aporte teórico os Estudos lexicais, Lexicologia, Lexicografia e Terminologia, enfatizando o léxico relacionado a aspectos de cultura e regionalidade.

Some elements of historical and cultural reality, identified in fiction about the State of Rio Grande do Sul, have contributed and still contribute to the construction of a social imaginary and of a regional identity, whether in representations of the environment in which the narrative takes place or in the language used by the writer. On the assumption that the writer’s lexical choices are relevant factors to setting the historical context of a given season, this paper aims to examine the relation between the lexicon of the novel called “The House of Seven Women”, by Leticia Wierzchowski (2002) and regional culture. To achieve these goals, this dissertation develops a lexical-semantic analysis of the representation of the historicalcultural and social characteristics of Rio Grande do Sul from the selection of lexias, organized into lexical fields according to Coseriu's theory (1979). As theoretical contribution it was used the lexical studies, Lexicology, Lexicography and Terminology, emphasizing the lexicon related to culture and regional aspects.

Resumo: A língua em uso numa sociedade é produto de uma cultura e reflete o pensamento de um povo. Desse modo, as unidades léxicas, por meio dos significados atribuídos por um grupo social, determinam um olhar específico do universo e um sistema de valores. Com esse embasamento, nosso trabalho centra sua atenção num tipo de item lexical específico: as unidades lexicais que nominam os órgãos referentes às zonas erógenas, dos quais destacamos o pênis, a vulva, as nádegas, o ânus, os testículos e os seios, em língua italiana e em língua portuguesa, variante brasileira, partindo da análise do corpus coletado. Intencionamos demonstrar que para a denominação dos órgãos sexuais do corpo humano tende-se a evitar a terminologia anatômica oficial - relegada a contextos de grande formalidade - e adotar outros itens lexicais em situações informais, que possam denominar as referidas partes do corpo com conotação sexual. Muitas das lexias recolhidas não são aceitas em todos os contextos, mas entre pessoas afeiçoadas, encontra-se um emprego mais intenso e que assinala intimidade. Por essa razão usam-se inúmeros sinônimos que servem para suavizar uma determinada unidade lexical, na tentativa de mascarar preconceitos sociais historicamente construídos. Principiamos nossa pesquisa examinando os referidos itens lexicais sob a luz da teoria da metáfora conceitual - pois muitos dos itens empregados têm base metafórica e, na maioria das vezes, eufemística. O produto de nossa pesquisa é a amostragem de um dicionário onomasiológico especial bilíngue, abrangendo o mencionado tipo de unidade lexical estudado. Apresentamos, ainda, dentro dos verbetes quais são os semas (unidades mínimas de significação) presentes nas principais metáforas relativas aos mencionados órgãos. O acréscimo destes se mostra uma inovação em meio ao argumento erótico-obsceno, praticamente... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: The language in use in a society is product of a culture and reflects the way a community thinks. Therefore, the lexical units, through the meanings assigned by a social group, establish a specific look of the universe and a system of values. With this basement, our work centers its attention in a specific lexical type: the lexical units that nominates the organs from the erotic zone, that are the penis, the vulva, the buttocks, the anus, the testicles and the breast, in Italian and Portuguese language, Brazilian variety, by analysing our corpus. We intend to demonstrate that for the denomination of the sexual organs of the human body it usual to avoid the official anatomical terminology - relegated to the contexts of great formality - and to adopt other lexical items during informal situations. Many of the collected items are not accepted in all the contexts, but between known people, they may designate familiarity. Thus, innumerable synonymous are used to alleviate one lexical unit, trying to mask social prejudices historically constructed. We begin our research examinating the cited lexical items under the light of the theory of the conceptual metaphor - because many of the employed items have a metaphorical and also euphemistics basis. The product of our research is a special onomasiological bilingual dictionary, enclosing part of the mentioned studied of the lexical type. We introduce also in the entries of it semes (minimal meaning unit) present in the main metaphors related to these organs. The addition of these semes reveals an innovation in the study of the erotical-obscene argument, practically unexplored by the linguists. We intend, with this research, to be able to collaborate to demystify some prejudices related to the erotical-obscene lexicon, its use and its creation and to stimulate reflections of it, whose examination of the metaphors...

A ToponÃmia, um dos ramos da OnomÃstica, Ã a ciÃncia linguÃstica que tem por objetivo estudar os nomes prÃprios de acidentes geogrÃficos fÃsicos e humanos, a partir da anÃlise da relaÃÃo lÃngua-cultura-sociedade. Baseada nestes pressupostos, esta pesquisa objetivou inventariar, descrever e analisar os topÃnimos relativos aos acidentes humanos (estado, microrregiÃes, municÃpios) e fÃsicos (rios) da AmazÃnia Ocidental Brasileira, ou seja, do estado do Acre, a fim de verificar em que medida esses topÃnimos retratam a realidade fÃsicogeogrÃfica e sociocultural no processo de nomeaÃÃo dos referidos espaÃos. Orientou essa pesquisa a seguinte hipÃtese: a toponÃmia acreana preserva particularidades linguÃsticas, sÃcio-histÃrico-culturais, e fÃsico-geogrÃficas da regiÃo que influenciaram o denominador no ato de nomeaÃÃo. Os dados foram coletados, principalmente, no Mapa PolÃtico- Administrativo do Estado do Acre (2006), escala 1: 1000 000, fornecido pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e EstatÃstica (IBGE-AC). Dada a natureza da pesquisa, adotaram-se as orientaÃÃes teÃrico-metodolÃgicas de Dick (1992) e os princÃpios teÃricos da lexicologia e da semÃntica, dando-se destaque Ãs questÃes relativas ao processo de construÃÃo do significado dos itens lÃxicos associados Ãs categorias toponÃmicas. Adotou-se, para a distribuiÃÃo dos signos toponÃmicos coletados, a terminologia de Salazar-Quijada (1985) macrotopÃnimos, para as nomeaÃÃes do estado e das microrregiÃes; microtopÃnimos, para os municÃpios; e topÃnimos, para as nomeaÃÃes dos rios. Os resultados apontaram, em relaÃÃo aos macrotopÃnimos, para uma completa influÃncia de condutas motivadoras de ordem fÃsica, haja vista que todos os topÃnimos registrados enquadram-se na taxe dos hidrotopÃnimos (100,0%). Isso mostra que as correntes hÃdricas regionais refletiram completamente na nomenclatura geogrÃfica do estado e das microrregiÃes. Contudo, no que tange aos microtopÃnimos, os MunicÃpios, prevaleceu a motivaÃÃo de natureza antropo-cultural, jÃ que foram registradas como taxes mais produtivas, os historiotopÃnimos (38,1%) e os etnotopÃnimos (13,7%). Por sua vez, os topÃnimos dos acidentes humanos, de maneira geral, mostraram a superioridade dos fatores motivacionais de natureza antropo-cultural (67,9%) em relaÃÃo aos de natureza fÃsica (32,1%). JÃ em relaÃÃo Ã toponÃmia dos acidentes fÃsicos, os fatores motivacionais de natureza antropo-cultural (50,0%) foram preponderantes em relaÃÃo aos de natureza fÃsica (36,7%). As taxes mais produtivas foram os zootopÃnimos (16,7%), dimensiotopÃnimos (10,0%) e antrotopÃnimos (10,0%). Em sÃntese, a anÃlise toponÃmica dos acidentes geogrÃficos acreanos evidenciou que, na construÃÃo do significado dos signos toponÃmicos, concorrem elementos linguÃsticos e extralinguÃsticos. Os topÃnimos acreanos sÃo, de modo geral, motivados por condicionantes sÃcio-histÃrico-culturais e fÃsicogeogrÃficos. Os resultados, in totum, confirmam a hipÃtese que norteou nossa pesquisa.
Toponymy, a branch of onomastics, is the linguistic science which aims at studying the names of physical and human geographic features, from the analysis of the language-culture-society. This research intended to inventory, describe and analyze the toponyms human accidents (state micro-regions, municipalities) and physical (rivers) of the Western Brazilian Amazon, i.e. the state of Acre, in order to verify to what extent these toponyms portray reality physicalgeographical and socio-cultural in the appointment of such spaces. This research is guided by the following hypothesis: Acreâs toponymy preserves linguistic, socio-historical, cultural and physical-geographical particularities characteristics of the region, that influenced the denominator the act of naming. Data were collected mainly throug Political and Administrative Map of Acre (2006), scale 1: 1000 000, provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE-AC). We adopted Dickâs theoretical and methodological approach, and the theoretical principles of lexicology and semantics, considering prominent issues concerning the construction of the meaning of lexical items associated with toponymic categories. We adopted, for the distribution of toponymic signs collected, Salazar-Quijadaâs terminology: macrotoponyms, for the appointments of State and Micro-regions; microtoponyms for the municipalities, and place names, for appointments rivers. The results showed, compared to macrotoponyms a complete duct motivating influence of physical nature, because all the place names recorded fall compared to tax hydrotoponyms (100.0%). This shows that the current regional water reflected completely the geographical nomenclature of the state and micro-regions. Comparatively to microtoponyms, municipalities, however, the prevailing motivation nature-cultural anthropology, since taxes were recorded as the most productive namely, historiotoponyms (38.1%) and etnotoponyms (13.7%). The toponyms human accidents, in a general way, showed the superiority of the motivational factors related to nature and cultural anthropology (67.9%) if compared to factors of physical nature (32.1%). Concerning to physical accidents of place names motivational factors of nature and cultural anthropology (50.0%) were predominant taking as parameter those of physical nature (36.7%). The most productive taxes were zootoponyms (16.7%) dimensiotoponyms (10.0%) and antrotoponyms (10.0%). To summarize, the analysis of Acre landforms toponymic showed that in the construction of the meaning of signs toponymic, linguistic and extralinguistic elements cooccur. Acreâs toponyms are generally motivated by socio-historical, cultural and physical geography constraints. The results, in totum, confirm the hypothesis which founds our research.

O objetivo desta dissertação consiste em estudar as mudanças havidas nas unidades lexicais relativas ao direito de família, retiradas da parte correspondente ao assunto nas leis brasileiras das mais diversas épocas, a partir das contribuições da Lexicologia. A justificativa do trabalho deve-se ao fato da estreita relação existente entre linguagem e Direito, pois a ciência jurídica se manifesta através da linguagem e depende dela para se realizar. Para a pesquisa, analisou-se um corpus formado por palavras extraídas do Direito de Família, que mantêm relação direta com o conceito restrito de família, que engloba a trindade pai, mãe e filho e partir daí foi feito um recuo no tempo, retomando a legislação civil e penal que trata do assunto, desde as Ordenações Filipinas até os as codificações brasileiras atuais. Com isso, procurou-se observar que as alterações ocorridas tanto nos significantes, como nos significados das unidades estudadas, tais como a criação ou adaptação de palavras ocorrem com o intuito de expressar os fatos jurídicos. Assim, como pretende-se demonstrar, as mudanças nos hábitos sociais influenciam as mudanças nas leis e, conseqüentemente, provocam alterações na linguagem, que são observadas mais diretamente no léxico, fazendo uma palavra surgir ou deixar de ser usada ou ainda, adaptar-se à nova situação jurídica, confirmando a intrínseca relação entre Direito, língua e sociedade.
The aim of this dissertation consists in studying the changes towards Family Law lexical units taken out of different periods of Brazilian Laws, based on their lexicology contributions. The reason behind this written essay is the narrow relation between Language and Law, since the Juridical Science manifests itself in language and depends on it to fulfil its functions. For the research, a corpus formed by words of Family Law was analyzed; words that have a straight relation with the concept of family which embodies the trinity father, mother and son or daughter, and from this principle a retrospection in criminal and civil legislation was placed since the Philippine regulations until the current Brazilian Codifications. Hereby, it was observed the changes in the studied units signifier and signified, as well as the creation or the adaptation of words that express law facts. Therefore, as it is intended to be shown, the changes in social habits influenced the law changes, and consequently caused modifications in language that are directly observed in lexicon, causing a word to appear or not to be used anymore, providing evidences of the narrow relation among Law, Language and Society.

A língua em uso numa sociedade é produto de uma cultura e reflete o pensamento de um povo. Desse modo, as unidades léxicas, por meio dos significados atribuídos por um grupo social, determinam um olhar específico do universo e um sistema de valores. Com esse embasamento, nosso trabalho centra sua atenção num tipo de item lexical específico: as unidades lexicais que nominam os órgãos referentes às zonas erógenas, dos quais destacamos o pênis, a vulva, as nádegas, o ânus, os testículos e os seios, em língua italiana e em língua portuguesa, variante brasileira, partindo da análise do corpus coletado. Intencionamos demonstrar que para a denominação dos órgãos sexuais do corpo humano tende-se a evitar a terminologia anatômica oficial – relegada a contextos de grande formalidade – e adotar outros itens lexicais em situações informais, que possam denominar as referidas partes do corpo com conotação sexual. Muitas das lexias recolhidas não são aceitas em todos os contextos, mas entre pessoas afeiçoadas, encontra-se um emprego mais intenso e que assinala intimidade. Por essa razão usam-se inúmeros sinônimos que servem para suavizar uma determinada unidade lexical, na tentativa de mascarar preconceitos sociais historicamente construídos. Principiamos nossa pesquisa examinando os referidos itens lexicais sob a luz da teoria da metáfora conceitual – pois muitos dos itens empregados têm base metafórica e, na maioria das vezes, eufemística. O produto de nossa pesquisa é a amostragem de um dicionário onomasiológico especial bilíngue, abrangendo o mencionado tipo de unidade lexical estudado. Apresentamos, ainda, dentro dos verbetes quais são os semas (unidades mínimas de significação) presentes nas principais metáforas relativas aos mencionados órgãos.

The language in use in a society is product of a culture and reflects the way a community thinks. Therefore, the lexical units, through the meanings assigned by a social group, establish a specific look of the universe and a system of values. With this basement, our work centers its attention in a specific lexical type: the lexical units that nominates the organs from the erotic zone, that are the penis, the vulva, the buttocks, the anus, the testicles and the breast, in Italian and Portuguese language, Brazilian variety, by analysing our corpus. We intend to demonstrate that for the denomination of the sexual organs of the human body it usual to avoid the official anatomical terminology – relegated to the contexts of great formality – and to adopt other lexical items during informal situations. Many of the collected items are not accepted in all the contexts, but between known people, they may designate familiarity. Thus, innumerable synonymous are used to alleviate one lexical unit, trying to mask social prejudices historically constructed. We begin our research examinating the cited lexical items under the light of the theory of the conceptual metaphor – because many of the employed items have a metaphorical and also euphemistics basis. The product of our research is a special onomasiological bilingual dictionary, enclosing part of the mentioned studied of the lexical type. We introduce also in the entries of it semes (minimal meaning unit) present in the main metaphors related to these organs. The addition of these semes reveals an innovation in the study of the erotical-obscene argument, practically unexplored by the linguists. We intend, with this research, to be able to collaborate to demystify some prejudices related to the erotical-obscene lexicon, its use and its creation and to stimulate reflections of it, whose examination of the metaphors...

Resumo: Esta pesquisa visa à análise léxico-semântica das unidades lexicais de denominação (substantivos e adjetivos) utilizadas pela imprensa escrita brasileira (revistas Veja, Época e Isto É e jornal Folha de S. Paulo) durante a cobertura da guerra dos Estados Unidos contra o Iraque, entre fevereiro e abril de 2003. Tal investigação visa a ressaltar a importância das escolhas lexicais na formação dos enunciados. Pretende-se também analisar a manipulação de idéias decorrente da seleção lexical e suas conseqüências para o trabalho jornalístico. Foram apontadas, ainda, dentre as publicações analisadas, quais foram as que mais empregaram unidades lexicais com traços de significação com tendência a influenciar os leitores. Trabalhou-se com a hipótese de que as escolhas lexicais podem ou tendem a orientar a opinião do leitor. A corrente teórica utilizada é a da Semântica Lexical Estruturalista, baseada em trabalhos de pesquisadores como Ferdinand de Saussure, Bernard Pottier, Horst Geckeler, Louis Guilbert, Oswald Ducrot, Kurt Baldinger, Eugènio Coseriu, Algidras Julien Greimas, Johns Lyons, Frank Palmer, Charles Muller, Stephen Ullmann, Trier, Weisgerber, Mario Vilela, Maria Aparecida Barbosa e Maria Teresa Biderman, entre outros. A análise das unidades lexicais teve início com a leitura dos textos obtidos dos veículos da imprensa, dos quais foram extraídas as unidades nominais (substantivos e adjetivos), considerando-se o contexto em que estavam inseridas. Estas unidades foram analisadas de acordo com as relações de significação que mantêm entre si (sinonímia, polissemia, homonímia e hiponímia). As relações de significação e a identificação dos traços significativos presentes nos contextos, demonstraram a intencionalidade na opção de uma palavra em detrimento das outras possíveis, no momento da enunciação.
Abstract: This research aims the lexical-semantical analysis of the lexical unities of denomination (nouns and adjectives) used by Brazilian written press (Veja, Época and Isto É magazines and Folha de S. Paulo journal) during the covering of The United States war against Iraq, between February and April, 2003. Such investigation aims at standing out the importance of lexical choices in the enunciation forming. It is also intended to analyze the manipulation of ideas resulting from the lexical selection and its consequences to journalistic work. Among the analyzed publications, those that used more lexical unities with traces of signification tending to influence readers were pointed out. It has been taken into consideration the hypothesis that lexical choices can or tend to orient reader opinion. The theoretical current used is the Structuralist Lexical Semantics, based on works of researchers as Ferdinand Saussure, Bernard Pottier, Horst Geckeler, Louis Guilbert, Oswald Ducrot, Kurt Baldinger, Eugenio Coseriu, Algidras Julien Greimas, Johns Lyons, Frank Palmer, Charles Muller, Stephen Ullmann, Trier, Weisgerber, Mario Vilela, Maria Aparecida Barbosa and Maria Teresa Biderman, among others. The lexical unities analysis was initiated with the reading of texts from media, from where the nominal unities (nouns and adjectives) were picked out, considering the context in which they were inserted. These unities were analyzed according to the meaning relation that they keep among themselves (synonymy, polysemy, homonymy, hyponymy). The meaning relations and the identification of significant traces in the context show intentionality in the option of one word in detriment of possible others, at the enunciation moment.

Abstract:

Esta tesis doctoral ahonda en el conocimiento de los verbos de movimiento en español a partir del análisis de dos voces patrimoniales, andar e ir, en el contexto cronológico y geográfico del siglo XV y la Corona de Aragón. Concretamente, se realiza un estudio semántico, funcional y contrastivo de estos dos verbos –tanto de sus usos sintéticos como de su combinatoria pluriverbal– a la luz de los postulados teóricos de la semántica cognitiva y de la metodología aplicada de la lingüística de corpus. Con ello, y en primer lugar, buscamos validar la teoría de los prototipos como un modelo operativo de cara a la explicación de la polisemia verbal. Partimos de la hipótesis de que es factible reconstruir los vínculos primarios y secundarios que se establecen entre todos los sentidos y las construcciones complejas de una voz aunque se aborde esta tarea desde una perspectiva sincrónica. Por extensión, y en segundo lugar, esta investigación también pretende dirimir la creencia de que la fraseología verbal supone una parcela del léxico opaca desde el punto de vista semántico y formal cuya configuración no puede ser explicada en un momento histórico preciso. Para ello, postulamos un estudio de las locuciones verbales compuestas con andar y con ir que omite la perspectiva de análisis nominalista seguida hasta el momento en la bibliografía. En esta ocasión, partimos de otra hipótesis: las locuciones verbales se hallan en un estadio inconcluso de fijación en el siglo XV, lo que facilita la labor de desentrañar su motivación semántica y sintáctica y, por extensión, su relación con alguno de los sentidos del verbo nuclear. Por último, la tesis pone de relieve las interconexiones semánticas, formales y cognitivas que se dan entre andar e ir como miembros pertenecientes a una misma categoría verbal. Con ello, queremos demostrar que las diferencias que presentan actualmente los dos núcleos de este estudio se merman considerablemente al ser observadas desde un ángulo histórico. Consideramos que los comportamientos transtipológicos son posibles debido a la propia naturaleza semántica y vaga de los verbos seleccionados. Asimismo, los supuestos parecidos entre estas dos unidades también pueden verse favorecidos por el contexto multilingüe de la Corona de Aragón en el siglo XV. La convivencia en esta región y período del latín y de varias lenguas románicas –aragonés, catalán y castellano– propicia la aparición de interferencias léxicas y sintácticas, a lo que contribuye la interacción de los étimos de andar e ir en ellas. Para acometer todos estos objetivos, se ha partido del corpus de constitución del Diccionario del castellano del siglo XV en la Corona de Aragón (DICCA-XV), un corpus cronológico, diatópico, equilibrado y representativo. De esta fuente, se han extraído fragmentos textuales tanto literarios como no literarios. Aunque el corpus del DICCA-XV haya constituido la base de nuestro trabajo, se ha recurrido también al Corpus del nuevo diccionario histórico del español para ampliar los ejemplos de uso fraseológicos. Las conclusiones de este estudio demuestran que, en efecto, es posible trazar las redes semánticas de los verbos andar e ir en el castellano del siglo XV en la Corona de Aragón. Asimismo, se aporta una explicación satisfactoria de las relaciones semánticas y formales que cada una de sus estructuras polilexicales presenta con los respectivos núcleos verbales que las conforman. Finalmente, se ponen de relieve los parecidos que presentan andar e ir en todos los planos escrutados.
This investigation contains the analysis of two patrimonial words from the Spanish language, andar and ir, within the chronological and geographical context of the XV century and the Crown of Aragon. Specifically, it presents a semantical, functional and contrastive study of these two verbs — both of their synthetic uses and their pluriverbal combinations—in the light of theoretical postulates in cognitive semantics and applied methodology of corpus linguistics. In first place, we seek to validate Prototype Theory as an operational model in the explanation of polysemy. Our initial hypothesis is that it is possible to restore the primary and secondary links established between all the meanings and complex structures of a word, even if we do it from a synchronic perspective. In second place, this study attempts to end with the belief that it is impossible to explain the form and meanings of Verbal Idioms in concrete historical moments. For this particular case, we start from a different hypothesis: that because verbal idioms remained in an unfinished state of fixation in the XV century, we are allowed to unravel their semantic and syntactic motivation and, by extension, their relation to some meanings of the nuclear verb. Last, we aim to emphasize the formal, semantic and cognitive interconnections between andar e ir. In particular, we intend to demonstrate that current differences between these two verbs decrease if we examine them from a historical perspective and take into account elements such as their semantic vagueness and the multilingual context within Crown of Aragon during the XV century. That is, the coexistence of Latin with diverse Romanic languages – Aragonés, Catalan and Castillian— in the same region and period contributed to the appearance of lexical and syntactic interferences among words of these languages, as it happened with andar and ir. In order to fulfill these goals, this research has used the constitution corpus of Diccionario del castellano del siglo XV en la Corona de Aragón, a chronological, diatopic, balanced and representative corpus. The textual pieces, both literary and non- literary, extracted from this source have been integrated in two data bases created exclusively for the present investigation.

Abstract:

Cette thèse aborde l'étude de la structuration sémantique de la classe des noms abstraits, appréhendée sous l'angle de l'analysede leurs variations sémantiques régulières. La problématique qui sous-tend cette recherche est la suivante : de quelle façon les mécanismes de variation sémantique régulière permettent-ils d'appréhender la structure du lexique et en particulier celle des noms abstraits ? Cette problématique est abordée par l'étude de cas d'un sous-ensemble de noms abstraits : les noms d'affect. L'analyse des variations interprétatives régulières de ces noms se fonde sur une vaste étude de corpus. Le premier objectif est descriptif : nous mettrons en évidence les contraintes morpho-syntaxiques et sémantiques qui pèsent sur ces variations interprétatives et de nous déterminerons leur statut lexical. Le second objectif est explicatif : nous montrerons qu'il est possible de mettre en évidence des éléments sémantiques propres à expliquer la possibilité ou l'impossibilité de véhiculer une ou plusieurs variations interprétatives. Le dernier objectif est théorique : nous proposerons une réflexion sur la notion de polysémie régulière. Nous montrerons qu'il existe différents mécanismes de variation sémantique régulière qui ne peuvent pas recevoir un traitementidentique
In this dissertation we study the semantic structure of the category of abstract nouns through the analysis of their regular semantic variations. The research questions underpinning this study are the following: how do the mechanisms of regular semantic variation allow us to apprehend the structure of the lexicon and of the abstract nouns in particular? We tackle these issues through the analysis of a subset of abstract nouns: the affect nouns. The observation of the regular interpretative variations of these nouns is based on a vast corpus study. The primary goal is descriptive: we will underline the morpho-syntactic and semantic constraints which weigh on these interpretative variations and determine their lexical status. The second goal is explanatory: we will show that it is possible to highlight certain semantic elements suitable to explain the possibility or impossibility of conveying one or more interpretative variations. The last goal is theoretical: we will discuss the concept of regular polysemy. We will show that there are various mechanisms of regular semantic variation at work which cannot receive an identical processing

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this study the conceptualization of love or affecion in the Old Testament is investigated. The most prototypical Biblical Hebrew lexeme for affection, namely אהב , forms the focus of the study. It is hypothesized that the analysis of אהב in terms of its valency and the conceptual frames associated with each of its valency patterns will contribute to a more informative lexicographical description of אהב . Since אהב forms part of a much larger semantic field of lexemes that can convey the attitude of affection, it is neccessary to study these lexemes as well. While the first chapter introduces the topic under investigation, i.e. a study of lexemes of affection, the second chapter aims at demarcating the list of lexemes of affection that needs to be considered. This list amounts to fifteen lexemes in total; fourteen of which can belong to the domain of affection, and one antonym. In Chapter 3 the methodology of the current study is explained. The researcher advocates a Cognitive Linguistic approach. Renier de Blois employed Cognitive Linguistics for his model which is aimed towards compiling the Semantic Dictionary of Biblical Hebrew. While his model is used as starting point in the present study, some more areas of Cognitive Linguistics are identified that could assist us to refine the model of De Blois. These areas include prototype theory, semantic potential, the notion of radial networks, as well as conceptual frames. Chapter 4 consists of a detailed study of אהב in all its occurrences in the Old Testament, while the remainder of the lexemes of affection as well as its antonym are studied in Chapter 5. In the concluding chapter, Chapter 6, an exposition of the findings is given. This thesis ends with a concise summary of אהב in which all conceptual frames and scripture references where the אהב appear are given. This is followed by a schematic presentation of the lexemes of affection as they occur in relation to the prototypical sense(s) of אהב.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie studie word die konseptualisering van liefde of affeksie in die Ou Testament ondersoek. Die mees prototipiese Bybels-Hebreeuse lekseem vir affeksie, naamlik אהב , is die fokus van die studie. Dit word veronderstel dat die analise van אהב in terme van die lekseem se valensie en die konseptuele raamwerke wat met die valensie patrone geassosieer word, sal bydra tot „n meer informatiewe leksikografiese beskrywing van אהב . Aangesien אהב deel vorm van „n veel groter semantiese veld van lekseme wat die houding van affeksie beskryf, is dit nodig dat hierdie lekseme ook bestudeer word. Terwyl die eerste hoofstuk die tema van die huidige ondersoek inlei, naamlik die bestudering van lekseme van affeksie in die Bybels-Hebreeuse teks, is die tweede hoofstuk daarop gerig om die lys van lekseme van affeksie vir die ondersoek af te baken. Hiedie lys bestaan uit vyftien lekseme altesaam; veertien lekseme wat deel uitmaak van die domein van affeksie, en een antoniem. In Hoofstuk 3 word die metodologie van die huidige studie uiteengesit. Die navorser staan „n Kognitiewe Linguistiese benadering voor. Renier de Blois het Kognitiewe Linguistiek aangewend vir sy model wat daarop gerig is om die Semantic Dictionary for Biblical Hebrew saam te stel. Alhoewel sy model as beginpunt vir die huidige studie gebruik word, is daar sommige areas binne die veld van Kognitiewe Linguistiek wat aangewend sou kon word om De Blois se model te verfyn. Hierdie areas sluit prototipe teorie, semantiese potensiaal, die idee van straalvormige netwerke, asook konseptuele raamwerke in. Hoofstuk 4 bestaan uit „n gedetailleerde studie van אהב in al sy voorkomste in die Ou Testament, terwyl die res van die lekseme van affeksie sowel as die antoniem in Hoofstuk 5 bestudeer word. In die slot hoofstuk, Hoofstuk 6, is daar „n uiteensetting van die bevindinge. Die tesis eindig met „n kort opsomming van אהב waarin al die konseptuele raamwerke en skrifverwysings waarbinne אהב voorkom, gegee word. Daarna volg „n skematiese voorstelling van die lekseme van affeksie na aanleiding van hul voorkomste in verhouding tot die prototipiese betekenis(se) van אהב.

Abstract:

Nous sommes partie de l’intensification d’emploi du mot insécurité observable pendant la campagne électorale 2001-2002 pour réfléchir sur le rôle des médias en lien avec l’agir politique. Afin d’éclairer l’usage qu’a fait le Monde du mot insécurité, notre étude a d’abord fait le détour d’un travail en langue sur insécurité, sûreté, sécurité comme mots construits et comme noms abstraits. Une première partie en décrit l’origine et la structure morpho-sémantique, le but étant de mettre en évidence des structures abstraites fondamentales dans lesquelles entrent ces mots. Une deuxième partie analyse l’évolution des usages des trois termes, et en particulier leur fonctionnement dans le discours politique, à partir de la base Frantext (du Moyen Âge au XXe siècle). Cette partie insiste sur l’ambivalence de mots comme sécurité-insécurité, qui dénotent un sentiment subjectif ou une réalité objective. La troisième partie travaille sur le Monde en prenant pour entrée l’unité insécurité. Trois outils d’analyse sont privilégiés, l’intensification d’emploi d’insécurité abordée avec les outils de la statistique textuelle, l’étude du consensus qui semble se construire autour du mot jusqu’au premier tour de la campagne, enfin le trajet argumentatif du mot
Based on the increased proliferation of the word insécurité [insecurity] in press articles during the French presidential campaign in 2001-2002, we question the role of the media in the development of political themes. To explain the use of the word insécurité by the French newspaper Le Monde, we first carry out a linguistic study of the words insécurité (insecurity), sûreté (safety) and sécurité (security) as both construct nouns and abstract nouns. As a first step, we describe the etymology and morpho-semantic structure of these lexical items, in order to highlight the systematic paradigm in which these items are used. As a second step, we review the changes in the way these words are used from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, with a particular focus on their application in political discourse, using the Frantext database. This part of the analysis centres around the semantic ambivalence of such items as sécurité and i! nsécurité, which can refer as much to a subjective emotion as they can to a concrete objective reality. As a third and final step, we conduct an analysis on the lexical entry insécurité in Le Monde. Three analysis tools are mainly employed : the increased use of the word insécurité, examined with the tools of textual statistics, the study of the consensus around the word that seems to last from the beginning of the campaign until the first ballot, and finally the deployment of the term in persuasive techniques and its “argumentative route”

Abstract:

Cette thèse a pour objet une étude lexicologique du Livre des animaux d’al-Gâhiz, dans une perspective diachroniques visant à tracer l’évolution du lexique verbale de l’arabe. Nous avons adopté pour cette étude une approche comparative entre deux états de langue, l’arabe médiéval représentée par le livre des animaux et l’arabe moderne représentée par Arabic-corpus. Nous avons, dans le cadre de cette thèse, ciblé notre étude sur les lexèmes verbaux, ils représentent en effet des unités lexicales éminemment relationnelles, nous avons démontré leurs comportements variationnels de polysémie, aussi bien en synchronie qu’en diachronie. Le sémantisme des verbes est déterminé par des facteurs sémantico- syntaxiques, relationnels acquérant de la valeur différentielle selon la construction.Nous avons adopté un cadre théorique varié mais basé essentiellement sur la théorie des tropes (métaphore, métonymie), ainsi que sur le Schéma d’arguments élaboré par (J. Dichy : 1999-2000). Nous avons étudié les verbes dans un contexte minimal qui est la phrase ; chaque construction contenant un lexème verbal est analysé dans un schéma d’arguments. Ceci consiste à préciser les environnements possibles pour chaque mot, en spécifiant les constructions syntaxiques et en indiquant la nature sémantique des environnements à travers les traits spécificateurs. Dans cette perspective, la structure argumentale s’est avérée être un outil aussi cohérent qu’efficace; l’organisation syntaxique met en évidence le fonctionnement du verbe, laissant entrevoir les rôles joués par les divers éléments qui gravitent autour de lui. La systématique développée selon ce qui a été décrit nous permettra de modéliser non seulement le rapport entre constructions verbales coexistant en synchronie dénommée par Heine (2002) «phase de coexistence synchronique», mais encore la création diachronique d’une construction à partir d’une autre qui existait déjà auparavant. Nous illustrons les implications d’une telle approche sur la base des changements qu’ont subis en diachronie les verbes étudiés, l’objectif étant de démontrer comment interagissent les changements de constructions d’un verbe en particulier dans la création du sens. Ainsi que de souligner les régularités dans le changement du lexique verbal arabe. L’étude des variations lexicales ou morphosyntaxiques dans les textes étudiés, nous permet d’apprécier les régularités qui relèvent en propre du commun de la langue de l’époque médiévale, de la langue moderne, et d’autres régularités qui relèvent quant à elles de l’individuel. Dans une perspective visant en second lieu, à cerner quelques aspects du langage d’al-Gâhiz et de rendre compte de sa dynamique créative
This thesis concerns a lexical study of the Book of animals Al-Gâhiz in a diachronic perspective to trace the evolution of the verbal lexicon of Arabic. We adopted for this study a comparative approach between two states of language, Arabic medieval represented by the book of the animals and the modern Arab represented by Arabic-corpus.We, as part of this thesis focused our study on the verbal lexemes, they are indeed eminently relational lexical units, we have demonstrated their variational behavior of multiple meanings, both in synchrony in diachrony. The semantics of verbs is determined by syntactic sémantico-factors, relational acquiring the differential value according to construction.We have adopted a varied but essentially theoretical framework based on the theory of tropes (metaphor, metonymy), as well as the diagram of arguments developed by (J. Dichy: 1999-2000). We studied the verbs in a minimal context that is the sentence; each building containing a verbal lexeme is analyzed in a pattern of arguments. This is to clarify the possible environments for each word, specifying the syntactic constructions and indicating the semantic environments through specifiers traits. In this perspective, the argument structure has proven to be as consistent as effective tool; the syntactic organization highlights how the verb, suggesting the roles of the various elements that revolve around it. Systematic developed according to what has been described allow us to model not only the relationship between verbal constructions coexisting in synchrony called by Heine (2002) "synchronic coexistence phase" but also diachronic creation of a building from a one that already existed.We illustrate the implications of such an approach based on the changes that have suffered diachronic studied verbs, the objective being to demonstrate how buildings interact changes a verb especially in the creation of meaning. And to highlight the regularities in the change of the Arab verbal lexicon. The study of lexical or morphosyntactic variations in the texts studied, allows us to appreciate the patterns that fall in own common language of medieval, modern language, and other patterns which fall on them of the individual.

Abstract:

Esta tese, organizada em três partes, objetiva recuperar o Ensaio de Semântica de Michel Bréal evidenciando a importância de suas idéias para a Lingüística Moderna, para a Semântica e para a Pragmática, e a aplicabilidade da sua teoria na descrição da Língua Portuguesa, em sua modalidade escrita. Na primeira parte deste trabalho, apresenta-se o teor do ensaio, conforme a terceira edição publicada em 1904. Para tanto, parte-se de uma interpretação que relaciona as propostas brealinas àquelas elaboradas pelas disciplinas lingüísticas mais vulgarizadas no Brasil, de modo a comprovar a atualidade e a importância das propostas do ES. Em seguida, a reflexão volta-se para as questões do significado, a fim de demonstrar como semanticistas e pragmatistas têm entendido e interpretado as propostas do fundador da semântica. Esta análise, apresentada na segunda parte da tese, evidencia, de um lado, a importância de suas idéias para os estudos da significação e, de outro, a ausência de trabalhos nos quais haja aplicação prática de seus postulados. Ilustrando como suas propostas podem contribuir para a descrição de determinados fenômenos semânticos da Língua Portuguesa, na terceira parte da tese, sua teoria é empregada na análise de dois textos jornalísticos: um escrito em português brasileiro e outro em português europeu.
This thesis tries to revive Michel Bréal´s Essay of Semantics supporting the importance of it´s ideas for Modern Linguistics in general, and, specially, for Semantics and Pragmatics and the applicability of Bréal\'s postulates to language description. Due to that, contributions for semantics sciences and it´s applicability for written Portuguese language description are shown. The thesis is organized in three parts. In the first, the content of the third edition of the essay (1904) is connected to best known branches of Modern Linguistics in Brazil, connections that serves as evidence for the importance of Bréal`s ideas. In the second part - which deals especifically whit semantic´s issues - there is a critical view of semantician´s and pragmatician´s reviews of the essay. This part reveals the relevance of Breal´s postulates for Semantics (Pragmatics included), but, on the other hand, points out that his ideias have hardly been applied. In the last part, as evidence that to apply his theories is not only possible but desirable, they are used in the analysis of two journalistic papers: one in Brazilian Portuguese and other in European Portuguese.

Esta dissertação discute algumas questões ligadas ao padrão tipológico do português na expressão de eventos de movimento, norteados pela teoria de Leonard Talmy (2000). A partir da análise de alguns prefixos e verbos, objetivamos demonstrar que, em algumas ocorrências, a expressão do evento não se encaixa plenamente nas características do padrão tipológico proposto pelo teórico. Na classificação inicial do autor, as línguas românicas pertencem a uma categoria em que o verbo converge, para si, os componentes semânticos de MOVIMENTO e TRAJETO; se o MODO ou CAUSA forem explicitados, será, geralmente, por uma construção gerundiva ou adverbial. Ao contrário, em línguas de origem germânica, os verbos lexicalizam, simultaneamente, componentes semânticos de MOVIMENTO, MODO ou CAUSA; já o TRAJETO é expresso por um elemento gramatical associado ao verbo. Com base em alguns conceitos da semântica cognitiva e do estudo diacrônico do prefixo estudado, será possível apresentar alguns indícios de que a expressão dos eventos de movimento em português pode, também, ser feita por uma tipologia distinta. Além de apresentar os casos em que o português faz uso de elementos de outra tipologia, propomos analisar alguns verbos do padrão tipológico central do português, ou seja, aqueles que expressam MOVIMENTO e TRAJETO na raiz verbal, e apontar, por meio de comparações entre línguas de padrão distinto, que o português possui resquícios de um padrão tipológico diferente.

Abstract : This dissertation discusses some issues related to the typological pattern of Portuguese expression of motion events, guided by the theory of Leonard Talmy (2000). From the analysis of some prefixes and verbs, we objective is to demonstrate that in some instances, the expression of the event does not fit fully the characteristics of typological pattern proposed by the theorist. In the initial classification Talmy classifies Romance languages into a typological category in which the verb converges to each other, so the semantic components MOTION and PATH. If MODE or CAUSE are explicit will usually be by a construction gerundive or adverbial. To the contrary, Germanic language the verbs lexicalizes both semantic components of MOTION and MODE or CAUSE and the PATH is expressed by a grammatical element associated with the verb. Based on some concepts of Cognitive Semantics and diachronic study of the Latin prefix, it will be possible to present some evidence that the expression of motion events in Portuguese can also be made by a different typological pattern. We analyze some instances of the lexicalization pattern in Portuguese that makes use of elements of another type and we propose to analyze some verbs typological pattern of Portuguese, indicating by means of comparisons between languages of distinct pattern grammatical and semantic features that show features of other lexical patterns in the language.

Abstract:

En tant que syntagmes sémantiquement non-compositionnels, les locutions sont des unités lexicales à part entière, qui doivent avoir leur propre entrée dans un modèle du lexique. Elles doivent donc recevoir une définition lexicographique, ainsi qu’une description de leurscaractéristiques grammaticales. De plus, en vertu de leur signifiant syntagmatique, les locutionstémoignent – à des degrés divers – d’une flexibilité formelle (passivation, insertion de modificateurs, substitution de certains constituants, etc.).Notre thèse défend l’idée selon laquelle une description des locutions combinant à la fois l’identification des unités lexicales qui les composent et l’identification des relations de dépendance syntaxique qui unissent les unités constituantes, permettra de prédire leurs différents emplois possibles dans la phrase. Une telle description n’est possible que dans un modèle du lexique décrivant précisément la combinatoire des lexies. Notre recherche, basée sur les principes de la Lexicologie Explicative et Combinatoire, exploite et enrichit les données du Réseau Lexical du Français (RL-fr), ressource en cours de développement à l’ATILF.La thèse a deux principaux apports. Le premier est le développement d’un modèle de description lexico-syntaxique relativement fine des locutions du français. Le second est l’identification et l’étude de différentes variations structurales, syntaxiques et lexicales liées à la flexibilité formelle des locutions. Les variations des locutions sont mises en corrélation avec leurs structures lexico-syntaxiques, mais également avec leurs définitions lexicographiques. Ceci nous conduit à introduire la notion de projection structurale, centrale dans le continuum de la flexibilité formelle des locutions
As semantically non-compositional phrases, idioms are lexical units. Consequently, they must have their own entries in a lexical resource, with a lexicographic definition and grammatical characteristics. Furthermore, because of their phrasal signifier, idioms show – to varying degrees – a formal flexibility (passivization, attachment of modifiers, substitution of components,etc.)Our thesis defends the view that a description of idioms that combine identification of their lexical components and identification of dependency links between these components will permit to predict their formal variations. Such a description is possible only in a model of lexicon that describes precisely combinatorial proprieties of lexical units. Our thesis, based on the Explanatory Combinatorial Lexicology’s framework, exploits and enhances the data of the French Lexical Network (fr-LN). This resource is being developed at the laboratory ATILF (Nancy, France).The thesis makes two principal contributions to the study of phraseology. The first contribution is the development of a precise description of idioms’ lexico-syntactic structures. The second contribution is the indentification and the study of structural, syntactic and lexical variations linked to idioms’ formal flexibility. Idioms’ formal variations are correlated with their lexico-syntactic structures, but also with their lexicographic definitions. This work leads us to introduce the notion of structural projection, that plays a central role in the continuum of idiom’s formal flexibility

Abstract:

Le tesi è volta a esplorare la dimensione interculturale nei dizionari bilingue italiano-francese. La prima parte propone un approccio teorico alla questione. Prendendo le mosse da una ridefinizione delle nozioni di cultura e interculturalità, un excursus storico permette di delineare le relazioni tra lingue e culture. Vengono affrontati in seguito temi come lo statuto epistemologico della lessicografia bilingue e i suoi rapporti con la linguistica; le aporie derivanti dal concetto di equivalenza; la specificità della traduzione nei dizionari bilingue; gli apporti della semantica alla lessicografia. Un’attenzione particolare viene rivolta alle nozioni di scarto semantico, referenziale e culturale e alle lacune lessicali. Ci siamo infine concentrati sul fenomeno della connotazione e su alcune tradizioni di ricerca che sottolineano il valore culturale della lingua. La seconda parte è incentrata sullo studio del corpus. L’analisi è stata effettuata sulla lettera A dei quattro dizionari presi in esame (Boch, Garzanti, Hachette-Paravia, Larousse). Si è cercato innanzitutto di sottolineare il valore e la tipologia degli scarti prodotti nell’equivalenza, in particolare di quelli culturali. In seguito, ci si è soffermati sugli esempi a funzione culturale. Infine, un esame delle note culturali e di alcuni falsi prestiti ha consentito di apportare un ulteriore contributo alla problematica.
Our thesis aims at exploring the intercultural dimension in Italian-French bilingual dictionaries. The first part represents a theoretical approach to the issue. A definition of the concepts of culture and cross-cultural precedes a study of the relationships between languages and cultures. After that, the following themes are dealt with: the epistemological status of bilingual lexicography and its relationships with linguistics; the semantic hindrances to equivalence; the peculiarity of translation in bilingual lexicography; the contributions of semantics to lexicography. Special attention is also given to the concepts of semantic, referential and cultural gaps and to the lexical gaps in general. In the last two chapters, the focus shifts to connotation and to some approaches that stress the importance of cultural values in language. The second part is a corpus-based study on the letter A of four Italian-French contemporary dictionaries (Boch, Garzanti, Hachette-Paravia, Larousse). We have tried, in particular, to emphasize the role and the typology of the gaps occurring in the equivalence, especially of cultural gaps. Then, we focus on culture-bound examples. Finally, we deal with cultural notes and some false borrowings in Italian, in order to show other aspects of equivalence.

Resumo: A cidade de Ibitinga destaca-se nacionalmente no ramo dos bordados, com sua economia voltada quase que exclusivamente à produção dessas peças. Tendo esse contexto como pano de fundo, esta dissertação discute todo o processo linguístico e linguístico-computacional de construção de ontoléxicos - constructos formais cuja natureza léxico-conceitual possibilita o desenvolvimento de investigações teóricas (estudos lexicogramaticais) e aplicadas (construção de recursos lexicográficos e para o processamento computacional de informação textual disponível na Web). Em particular, constrói um ontoléxico exploratório que entrelaça conceitos e itens lexicais do domínio léxico-conceitual da Indústria do Bordado de Ibitinga. O embasamento teórico-metodológico assenta-se nos estudos de semântica lexical (wordnets) e de frames (framenets), pura e computacional, de processamento automático de língua natural e de ontologias.
Abstract: Ibitinga, which is a Brazilian town nationally known for its outstanding position in the embroidery business, has its economy almost totally based on the production of a broad selection of embroideries. With this embroidery industry in the backdrop, this master thesis describes the whole linguistic and computational-linguistic process of construction of ontolexicons - formal constructs whose lexical-conceptual nature allows for both theoretical (lexical-grammar construction) and applied (lexicographical and ontolexical resource construction) research. In particular, the study focuses on the design and implementation of a toy ontolexicon for the Ibitinga Embroydery Industry lexical-conceptual domain. Its theoretical foundations have drawn heavily on lexical semantics (wordnets), frame semantics (framenets), natural language processing, and ontologies.

Minéral/minéralité : étude diachronique de la construction discursive d’un descripteur sensoriel dans les textes prescriptifs et descriptifs de la filière vitivinicoleRésumé : Cette thèse a pour objectif d’analyser en discours les descripteurs sensoriels minéral et minéralité dans une démarche empirique bottom-up et hypothético-déductive. Une première partie est consacrée à la constitution du corpus d’étude MINERS dans le cadre théorique de la linguistique sur corpus et sur la base de critères de sélection définis pour le design d’un corpus comparable spécialisé. Dans une seconde partie dédiée aux analyses empiriques, l’exploitation du corpus repose sur le cadre méthodologique d’une analyse de discours outillée et située pour reconstruire l’émergence et la diffusion des emplois de minéral et minéralité. Dans une perspective diachronique à court terme (1981- 2014) et comparée entre le discours descriptif et prescriptif en français, le cadre méthodologique de la sémantique discursive et lexicale est appliqué pour réaliser une cartographie sémantique des descripteurs sensoriels retenus. L’objectif de ces analyses lexicales, sémantiques, discursives, pragmatiques et cognitives est d’établir une définition « portrait-robot » reposant sur les processus de catégorisation et de conceptualisation sous-jacents aux lexèmes en question. La circularité de ces concepts est également observée dans une perspective synchronique (2006-2014) dans le discours descriptif en allemand et en anglais lingua franca dans le but de rendre compte des conditions de diffusion et d’emploi des formes concurrentesMots clés : linguistique sur corpus, corpus comparables, discours spécialisés, œnologie, sémantique discursive, lexicologie, catégorisation
Mineral/minerality: diachronic analysis of the discursive construction of a sensory descriptor in prescriptive and descriptive texts from the wine industryAbstract: This thesis aims to analyze the sensory descriptors mineral and minerality in discourse with an empirical bottom-up and hypotheticodeductive approach. The first part is dedicated to the constitution of the corpus of study MINERS in the theoretical framework of corpus-based Linguistics and on the basis of selection criteria defined for the design of a comparable specialized corpus. In a second part dedicated to empirical analysis, exploitation of the corpus is based on the methodological framework of a computational and situated discourse analysis in order to reconstruct emergence and diffusion of the use of mineral and minerality. In a short-term diachronic and comparative perspective (1981-2014) between prescriptive and descriptive discourses in French, the methodological framework of discursive and lexical semantics is applied in order to carry out a semantic mapping of retained sensory descriptors. The goal of these lexical, semantic, discursive, pragmatic and cognitive analyses is to establish an "identikit" definition based on the underlying processes of categorization and conceptualization of the lexemes in question. The circularity of these concepts is also observed via a synchronic perspective (2006-2014) in German and English lingua franca descriptive discourses in order to take into account the conditions of diffusion and the uses of competing forms.Key words: corpus linguistics, comparable corpora, specialized discourses, oenology, discursive semantic, lexicology, categorization

Resumo: O objetivo desta tese é analisar os predicados vagos, especialmente substantivos e adjetivos, como 'montanha', 'cristão', 'calvo', 'alto', etc. No primeiro capítulo, delimita-se o conceito de vagueza, diferenciando-o de outros conceitos semânticos, como ambigüidade, generalidade e não dito. Após exposição do conceito de vagueza na teoria de Quine, tenta-se mostrar que a definição de vagueza em termos de condições de verdade (predicados vagos são aqueles que não são nem verdadeiros, nem falsos de certos objetos) apresenta sérios dilemas para uma semântica lógica. No segundo capítulo, examina-se o contexto teórico no qual se insere o conceito de vagueza de Quine. Mostra-se que a questão da vagueza é extremamente relevante para os problemas (como o da aprendizagem lingüística e o da indeterminação da ontologia) que a teoria de Quine põe em jogo e que, ao mesmo tempo, tal questão acarreta alguns dilemas para essa teoria. No terceiro capítulo, aborda-se em detalhes um modelo semântico (A Teoria dos Topoi, desenvolvida por Ducrot e outros) que tenta dar conta de fatos semânticos abrangidos pela vagueza, entendida como gradualidade de predicados. Argúi-se, então, que a abordagem da Teoria dos Topoi, segundo a qual a gradualidade dos predicados é de natureza argumentativa (um predicado é vago, neste modelo, porque os topoi a eles associados podem ser aplicados com maior ou menor força argumentativa), é insatisfatória na sistematização e explicação do conceito de predicados vagos. Finalmente, no quarto capítulo, critica-se a descrição semântica dos 'modificadores de vagueza' (especialmente a construção comparativa e os intensificadores) que o conceito de vagueza definido em termos de condições de verdade proporciona (seja na teoria de Quine, seja em modelos lógicos alternativos, como a teoria de supervaluation). Como alternativa a estes modelos (e também à Teoria dos Topoi) é proposto um modelo com marcações de graus de vagueza, no qual sentenças com predicados vagos não são consideradas 'proposições'. Predicados vagos são definidos como aqueles que são passíveis de 'complementação de sentido' (operação semântica que afeta a estrutura semântica de um termo, tornando-o menos vago). A solução proposta leva a uma reavaliação da relação entre sentido e referência
Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to analyse vague predicates, specially nouns and adjectives such as "mountains", "christian", "bald", "tall", among others. In the first chapter, one shows the concept of vagueness distinguishing it from other semantic concepts, such as ambiguity, generality, and 'unsaid'. After discussing the concept of vagueness in Quine's theory, one attempts to demonstrate that the definition of vagueness in terms of truth conditions (vague predicates are the ones which are neither true nor false of some objects) displays serious dilemmas for a logic semantics. 1n the second chapter, one investigates the theoretical frame in which Quine's concept of vagueness is inserted. One also shows that vagueness is extremely relevant to the problems (such as language learning and indeterminacy of ontology) which Quine's theory puts at stake and, at 'the same time, such a question brings some dilemmas within it to this theory. In the third chapter, one approaches in detail a semantic model (the Topoi Theory developed by Ducrot and collaborators) which intends to handle semantic facts encompassed by vagueness, understood here as graduality of predicates. One arguments, then, that the approach ofthe Topoi Theory, according to which graduality ofpredicates is ofan argumentative nature (a predicate is vague, in this model, due to the fact that the topoi associated to it may be applied with greater or smaller argumentative force) is unsatisfying either in systematizing or in explaining the concept of vague predicates. At last, in the fourth chapter, one criticizes the semantic description of "vagueness modifiers" (in special comparative construction and intensifiers) afforded by the concept of vagueness defined in terms of truth conditions ( be it in Quine's theory or in altemative logic models, such as the "supervaluation theory"). As an altemative to these models (and also to the Topoi Theory) one proposes a model with degree traces of vagueness, in which sentences with vague predicates are not considered as "propositions". Vague predicates are defined as those which may be subjected to "meaning complementation" (a semantic operation which does affect the semantic structure of a term in as much as it makes it less vague). The solution put forward '"points to a re-evaluation of the rapport between sense and reference

Abstract:

Cet ouvrage défend une « thèse » au plein sens du mot. Celle-ci vise à modifier radicalement la conception traditionnelle de la dérivation lexicale en russe moderne, qui ne retient que deux modes de dérivation et deux seuls : la préfixation et la suffixation. La thèse défend l’idée qu’aux côtés de ces deux procédés, il en existe un troisième, qui opère à l’aide d’un signifiant discontinu, que certains linguistes appellent « circonfixe » et qui est appelé ici « confixe ». La thèse met en évidence les incohérences de l’approche traditionnelle qui considère comme relevant de le catégorie préfixo-suffixale ou préfixo-postfixale des mots tels que le substantif masculin podokonnik (pod+ok(o)n+nik : ‘sous’ + ‘fenêtre’ + ‘objet’ = appui de fenêtre) ou le verbe nabegat’sja (‘saturation’ + ‘courir’ + ‘réfléchi’ = ‘courir tout son soûl’). La thèse met en évidence que nous avons affaire ici aux confixes pour le premier mot, pour le second. L’argumentation s’appuie sur un vaste matériau fourni par les dictionnaires historiques et contemporains. L’abondance des données a imposé de limiter les investigations aux substantifs et aux verbes. L’examen diachronique démontre que les confixes (morphèmes discontinus) se sont installés progressivement dans le système dérivationnel. En russe moderne, la confixation constitue un procédé dérivationnel désormais autonome et productif
This work defends the « thesis » in the full sense of the word. It is aimed at the radical revision of the traditional concept of lexical derivation in moderne Russian, which keeps only two modes of derivation and two only ones : prefixation and suffixation. The dissertation defends the idea that besides these two ways of word-formation, there is the third – word-formation by means of a discontinuous morpheme, which some linguists call “Circonfixe” and which is called here “Confixe”. The dissertation highlights the contradictions of the traditional approach which considers nouns such as podokonnik (pod + ok(o)n +nik : ‘under’ + ‘window’ + ‘object’ = window sill) or verbs like nabegat’sja (‘satiation’ + ‘to run’ + ‘reflexive’ = ‘to be run’) as prefixally-suffixal or prefixally-postfixal formations. It underlines that we are dealing here with confixes for the first word, for the second. Argumentation is based on a large material taken from the historical and contemporary dictionaries. The abundance of the collected data imposed to limit the research to nouns and verbs. The diachronic examination proves that confixes (discontinuous morphemes) have gradually taken their place in word-formation system. In moderne Russian confixation is really an independent way of word-formation

Abstract:

Comment dire le désir érotique et ses concrétisations ? Des épopées homériques aux odes de Pindare, de la cosmogonie hésiodique à l’invective moraliste et à la passion des lyriques, la présente étude passe au crible l’ensemble des textes grecs de la période archaïque pour éclairer ce phénomène linguistique. Le désir et la sexualité sont traités comme une langue à part, au sein du grec, convoquant un lexique, une syntaxe et une stylistique spécifiques. Le lexique détoure les mots de la langue commune et bâtit les concepts du désir dans une chronologie particulière, détaillant ce que le français construit souvent comme synonymes. Le désir se fait force implacable et artefact magique redoutable. La syntaxe de l’union et de la procréation – au cœur de l’élaboration des généalogies, notamment – se déploie sous de fortes contraintes. Elle oscille entre le frein de la bienséance – érotisme perçu comme inconvenant, alors qu’il joue un rôle incontournable dans la construction des personnages et la structuration de l’univers – et l’excès obscène qui le change en arme morale. Difficile à dire, l’érotisme s’énonce à demi-mot, ou mots grossis, dans un système complexe de conventions. Sa stylistique, enfin, lui donne corps : elle le dessine comme un objet palpable, proche des parures travaillées et des amulettes, lui donnant matière et éclat ; elle le met en scène, surtout dans la nature, qui reflète en profondeur ses ambivalences, entre fascination et danger. Les métaphores érotiques et sexuelles convoquent paysages, plantes et animaux pour ancrer l’homme et son désir dans le monde. La grammaire du désir est un mécanisme complexe qui joue de connivence et questionne la nature humaine
How to express erotic desire and its success? From Homeric epics to Pindar’s odes, from Hesiod’s cosmogony to the harsh moral invective, and the passion of lyrics poets, this study examines all the linguistic material from the archaic period to show that process. Desire and sexuality are considered an idiom of their own, within ancient Greek, using their own words, syntax and stylistics. Their words dwell in those of the common tongue and build concepts of desire inside a specific timeline. French is often blind to such a differentiation. Desire turns into an overpowering force and a formidable magical artefact. The syntax of sexual congress and procreation – at the heart of genealogies – thrives through strong constraints, such as decency – and, although eroticism is fundamental in building characters or structuring the world, it is seen as inappropriate – and obscene excess, while fighting for morality. Eroticism is hard to express: it uses the implicit or the caricature, and follows complex conventions. Its stylistics, at last, words its embodiment: desire becomes an object one can touch, wear like an amulet or an ornament, and see, thanks to its glow and material. It is staged, especially in nature, because it reflects its inner ambivalence, between fascination and danger. Erotic and sexual metaphors call out landscapes, plants, and animals, in order to insert desiring human beings into the world. The grammar of desire forms a complex mechanism based on complicity and the questioning human nature

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates the Old English word field for the concepts of ‘pledges’ and agreements by analysing the words belonging to the field in their contextual environments. The particular focus is on the word wedd (‘pledge’), which is shown to have different connotations in different text types. The main subject of the study is the corpus of Anglo-Saxon legal texts in which pledges played an important part. Pledges occur in collocation with concepts such as oaths (að) and sureties (borg), but there are important differences in function and linguistic usage between the terms. One important aspect of the language of pledging is the formulaic word pair að and wedd which comes to stand for the entirety of legal interactions, as no single word for ‘legal agreement’ is used by authors of legal prose. Possibly in part influenced by this development, the meaning of wedd, which originally denoted an object given as a pledge, becomes more abstract. The study further argues that this development is facilitated by the influence of Christianity. Old English words were required to express unfamiliar aspects of the new religion. I analyse words used to translate biblical covenants in detail. Because of its specifically legal overtones, wedd was employed by Anglo-Saxon translators and commentators to take on the functions of Latin words with a wider range of meaning, such as foedus or pactum. In its narrower sense wedd is important in the theology of sacraments. I show that the Eucharist and baptism are modelled on types of pledges from the legal social world that would have been familiar to Anglo-Saxon homilists and their audience. That this is a conscious decision on the part of Anglo-Saxon authors is indicated by the fact that this aspect is often added to their adaptations of orthodox Latin sources. An analysis of pledging in Old English poetry shows that wedd was rarely used by Anglo-Saxon poets, even in the adaptation of biblical texts which were shown to employ wedd as a deliberate lexical choice in their prose versions. In poetry, the equivalent term is wær (‘agreement’ or ‘treaty’). I argue that this difference can be explained by the fact that wedd was a technical term, belonging to the register of legal language, where wær never occurs. It is argued that wedd, possibly because of its legal connotations, was not a common word for Old English poets and is only used occasionally, mostly for purposes of poetic variation. I suggest that this is connected to the early date of some of the poems and to the traditional and possibly slightly archaic nature of Old English poetic language.

Abstract:

La recherche a pour objet la structuration du champ lexical des mots « chance », « fortune », « hasard » et « risque » du XVIIIe au XXIe siècle. Témoin de mutations qu’a connues la civilisation occidentale durant cette période, ce champ, qui se rattache à la notion de fortune / hasard, présente une relative homogénéité sémantique.Les mots (et leurs dérivés) sont étudiés à travers le déploiement, la régulation et la répartition des normes d’usages, non seulement en français hexagonal, mais aussi en français québécois. L’étude se fonde sur l’exploitation de deux types de corpus. D’une part, un corpus d’articles extraits d’une cinquantaine de dictionnaires sert à mettre en évidence la productivité morphosémantique et sémantique de ces unités dans une perspective historique large. D’autre part, un grand ensemble d’énoncés diversifiés permet, par la mise au jour de types de contextes, d’effectuer un suivi diachronique des usages. L’approche continuiste des différences d’usages s’appuie sur une représentation fréquentielle des changements sémantiques.La thèse apporte une contribution à la question de la variation des usages et du changement sémantique, qui ouvre sur plusieurs perspectives. Elle se veut d’abord une réflexion sur la théorie et la méthodologie descriptives, appréhendées à la lumière de l’analyse de la nature et du rôle des corpus. Elle met ensuite en évidence l’importance de la dimension intersubjective dans l’activité de signification, en particulier le rôle déterminant des structures syntagmatiques dans l’établissement de nouveaux usages sémantiques. Enfin, elle permet de mettre en relation le changement sémantique avec les conditions sociohistoriques et les représentations collectives
The present study deals with the way in which the lexical field regrouping the words “chance”, “fortune”, “hazard” and “risqué” has been structured in the French language from the eighteenth century till the present day. Revealing major changes in western societies during this period of time, the field, which corresponds to the linguistic representation of the notion of fortune / hasard, presents a certain coherence.We have examined these words and their derived forms through the display, regulation, and distribution of norms of use, not only in Hexagonal French, but also in Quebec French. Two types of corpora have been analysed. On the one hand, a corpus of articles from around 50 dictionaries has been used to emphasize the lexical and semantic productivity of the different units on a large historical scale. On the other hand, in revealing context types, a set of texts reflecting French language varieties has allowed for carrying out a diachronic analysis of lexical uses. The continuist approach to semantic differences rests upon a frequential representation of semantic changes.The thesis brings a significant contribution to the question of usage variations and semantic change, providing new perspectives. It first deals with theory and methodology of lexical description, considered through the analysis of the nature and the role of corpora. It then evidences the central role of syntagmatic structures in the setting of new semantic uses. The study has finally put into relation semantic changes with their historical background and the collective representations of the time

Abstract:

Contrary to what has been done to date in the hybrid field of natural language processing (NLP), this doctoral thesis holds that the new approach developed below makes it possible to semi-automatically detect semantic changes in digitised, OCRed, historical corpora. We define the term semi-automatic as “making use of an advanced tool whilst remaining in control of key decisions regarding the processing of the corpus”. If the tool utilised – “topic modelling”, and more precisely the “Latent Dirichlet Allocation” (LDA) – is not unknown in NLP or computational historical semantics, where it is already mobilised to follow a priori selected words and try to detect when these words change meaning, it has never been used, to the best of our knowledge, to detect which words change in a humanistically-relevant way. In other terms, our method does not study a word in context to gather information on this specific word, but the whole context – which we consider a witness to a potential evolution of reality – to gather more contextual information on one or several particular semantic shift candidates. In order to detect these semantic changes, we use the algorithm to create lexical fields: groups of words that together define a subject to which they all relate. By comparing lexical fields over different time periods of the same corpus (that is, by mobilising a diachronic approach), we try to determine whether words appear over time. We support that if a word starts to be used in a certain context at a certain time, it is a likely candidate for semantic change. Of course, the method developed here and illustrated by a case study applies to a certain context: that of digitised, OCRed, historical archives in Dutch. Nevertheless, this doctoral work also describes the advantages and disadvantages of the algorithm and postulates, on the basis of this evaluation, that the method is applicable to other fields, under other conditions. By carrying out a critical evaluation of the tools available and used, this doctoral thesis invites the community to the reproducibility of the method, whilst pointing out obvious limitations of the approach and propositions on how to solve them.

Abstract:

Cette thèse s’intéresse au lexique scientifique transdisciplinaire (LST), lexique inscrit dans le genre de l’article de recherche en sciences humaines et sociales. Le LST est fréquemment mobilisé dans les écrits scientifiques et constitue ainsi un objet d’importance pour l’étude de ce genre. Ce lexique trouve également des applications concrètes tant en indexation terminologique que pour l’aide à la rédaction/compréhension de textes scientifiques. Ces différents objectifs nous amènent à adopter une approche outillée pour identifier et caractériser les unités lexicales du LST, lexique complexe à circonscrire, situé entre lexique de la langue générale et terminologie. En nous basant sur les propriétés de spécificité et de transdisciplinarité ainsi que sur l’étude des propriétés lexico-syntaxiques de ses éléments, nous élaborons une ressource du LST intégrant informations lexicales, syntaxiques et sémantiques. L’analyse de la combinatoire à l’aide d’un corpus arboré autorise ainsi une caractérisation du LST ancrée sur l’usage dans le genre de l’article de recherche. Selon cette même approche, nous identifions les acceptions nominales transdisciplinaires et proposons une classification sémantique fondée sur la combinatoire en corpus pour intégrer à notre ressource lexicale une typologie nominale sur deux niveaux. Nous montrons enfin que cette structuration du LST nous permet d’aborder la dimension phraséologique et rhétorique du LST en faisant émerger du corpus des constructions récurrentes définies par leurs propriétés syntactico-sémantiques
In this dissertation we study the French cross-disciplinary scientific lexicon (CSL), a lexicon which fall within the genre of scientific articles in humanities and social sciences. As the CSL is commonly used in scientific texts, it is a gateway of interest to explore this genre. This lexicon has also practical applications in the fields of automatic terms identification and foreign language teaching in the academic background. To this end, we apply a corpus-driven approach in order to extract and structure the CSL lexical units which are complex to circumscribe. The method relies on the cross-disciplinarity and specificity criteria and on the lexico-syntactic properties of the CSL lexical units. As a result, we designed a lexical resource which include lexical, syntactical and semantical informations. As we analyze the combinatorial properties extracted from a parsed corpus of scientific articles, we performed a CSL study based on its genre specific use. We follow the same approach to identify cross-disciplinary meanings for the CSL nouns and to design a nominal semantic classification. This two-level typology allow us to explore rhetorical and phraseological CSL properties by identifying frequent syntactico-semantic patterns

This study proposes to examine the operation and uses of the verb to do in written texts the Portuguese of Brazil. The model adopted for the analysis is the Lexicon-Grammar (GROSS, 1975, 1981), under which all syntactic and semantic rules of a language can be described from their simple sentences. Theory of valences (Borba, 1996) recognizes the same principle, adding that there is a hierarchy among the constituents of the sentence and that in general, the central lexical item that selects every other element is the phrasal item lexical verb. Theories of the Lexicon-Grammar and provision, together with the notions of sign, meaning, value, text and gender, are the theoretical foundation of this research, both qualitative and quantitative, seeking not only the types of verb do, but, above all, their degree of recurrence in the corpus. The meanings and uses of the verb were taken to the texts that make up the Lazio-Ref, reference corpus Project Lazio-Web, organized and published by NILC USP (ALUÍSIO et al., 2004). Breaks, therefore, the assumption that all the Portuguese verbs undergo a continuum, ranging from full verb - which is the prototype - even a verb constituent expression crystallized, assuming as a verb support, vicarious, operator-causative, hiperverbo, among other classifications. To get to these classes and therefore the results, the analysis of the corpus followed the Transformational Model (Harris, 1964, 1968), applying transformational rules to simple phrases to determine their acceptability or unacceptability of the language. The analysis revealed recognize three interesting properties regarding the operation of the verb do in written Portuguese of Brazil: a) form is predominantly as a verb support, unlike many other verbs in Portuguese; b) classification is for a continuum and can not be described in terms of limit between one category and another, but in terms of boundaries, where two categories are mixed and interpose c) is one of the most productive verbs of the Portuguese language, which is explained by idea of linguistic struggling economy.
Este trabalho propõe analisar o funcionamento e os usos do verbo fazer em textos escritos do português do Brasil. O modelo adotado para a análise é o do Léxico-Gramática (GROSS, 1975, 1981), segundo o qual todas as regras sintático-semânticas de uma língua podem ser descritas a partir de suas frases simples. A Teoria de valências (BORBA, 1996) reconhece o mesmo princípio, acrescentando que há uma hierarquia entre os constituintes da frase e que, em geral, o item lexical central que seleciona todos os outros elementos frasais é o item lexical verbal. As teorias do Léxico-Gramática e de valências, juntamente com as noções de signo, significado, valor, texto e gênero, constituem a fundamentação teórica desta pesquisa, ao mesmo tempo qualitativa e quantitativa, buscando não apenas os tipos de verbo fazer, mas, sobretudo, sua maior ou menor recorrência no corpus. As acepções e usos do verbo fazer foram retirados dos textos que compõem o Lacio-Ref, corpus de referência do Projeto Lacio-Web, organizado e publicado pelo NILC da USP (ALUISIO et al., 2004). Parte-se, portanto, do pressuposto de que todos os verbos do português passam por um continuum, que vai desde verbo pleno que é o mais prototípico até verbo constituinte de uma expressão cristalizada, admitindo-se como verbo suporte, vicário, operador-causativo, hiperverbo, dentre outras classificações. Para chegar a essas classes e, consequentemente, aos resultados, a análise do corpus seguiu o Modelo Transformacional (HARRIS, 1964, 1968), aplicando regras transformacionais às frases simples para verificar sua aceitabilidade ou inaceitabilidade na língua. A análise propiciou reconhecer três propriedades interessantes em relação ao funcionamento do verbo fazer em português escrito do Brasil: a) sua forma predominante é como verbo suporte, diferentemente de muitos outros verbos do português; b) sua classificação passa por um continuum, não podendo ser descrita em termos de limite entre uma categoria e outra, mas em termos de fronteiras, onde duas categorias se mesclam e interpõem; c) é um dos verbos mais produtivos da língua portuguesa, o que se explica pela idéia da economia do esforço lingüístico.

Abstract:

As definições de cores encontradas nos dicionários semasiológicos do português estão passíveis a uma série de críticas. A análise dos verbetes de cores dos dicionários AuE (2004), HouE (2001), MiE (2001) e AnMS (1813) revelou que nenhuma destas obras apresentam verbetes de cores satisfatórios no que diz respeito à elucidação do significado de uma cor. Além disso, foi constatado que poucas foram as modificações sofridas nas definições de cores das obras do século XXI quando comparadas à obra do século XIX. O fato de os verbetes de cores dos dias atuais apresentarem falhas semelhantes às dos verbetes de cores de obras editadas há quase 200 anos parece indicar uma lacuna nos estudos lexicográficos que trate das cores nos dicionários. O presente trabalho se dispõe a discutir e tentar preencher esta lacuna. Para tanto, se procurou estabelecer uma relação entre os problemas encontrados nos verbetes de cores e a teoria lexicográfica, a fim de explicar o problema e, se possível, solucioná-lo. A partir dessa primeira análise, foi constatado que os verbetes de cores precisavam ser reestruturados. Para tanto, foi necessário estabelecer parâmetros que elencassem os segmentos informativos realmente necessários em um verbete de cor, para depois, se pensar em reelaborar estes segmentos. Os segmentos informativos reestruturados foram as paráfrases explanatórias e os exemplos, e esta reestruturação se deu com base nos postulados da Semântica Cognitiva. A visão prototípica de categorização, bem como a noção de corporeidade e de experiencialismo trazidas pela Semântica Cognitiva foram bastante proveitosas na discussão a respeito do fenômeno cromático no âmbito da Lexicografia. Através da relação entre teorias lexicográficas e a Semântica Cognitiva, chegou-se à conclusão de que as paráfrases de cores simples devem ser do tipo paráfrase explanatória analítica por metalinguagem do signo extensional e contarem com exemplares universais de cor no seu viés extensional para elucidar a cor. Em relação aos exemplos, eles devem estar alicerçados em padrões sintáticos curtos e frases de construções simples, além de contarem com exemplares prototípicos culturalmente situados das categorias de cor. Em complementação a isto, as cores simples devem contar com o mecanismo de substituição ostensiva, localizado nos textos externos do dicionário, que traga uma gravura da cor definida. A gravura oferecida pelo dicionário deve corresponder à elucidação de uma categoria inteira de cor, em conformidade com os postulados da Semântica Cognitiva sobre categorias prototípicas. Em relação às cores complexas, a Teoria da Mesclagem Conceitual aponta que este tipo de cor não necessita de uma definição, uma vez que seu significado é construído através da decodificação do próprio vocábulo. A proposta oferecida para as cores complexas é que o dicionário faça uma remissão para a cor simples da qual a cor complexa deriva e localize, dentro da categoria de cor simples, a zona correspondente à cor complexa. O desenvolvimento do presente estudo levou à conclusão de que o planejamento e reestruturação dos três segmentos informativos aqui elencados (paráfrase explanatória, exemplos e elementos iconográficos) permite a elaboração de definições mais satisfatórias para vocábulos de cores em dicionários semasiológicos.
Color definitions in Portuguese semasiological dictionaries are subject to much criticism. The analysis of color entries in AuE (2004), HouE (2001), MiE (2001), and AnMS (1813) revealed that none of these dictionaries have satisfactory entries when it comes to elucidating the meaning of colors. Moreover, it was observed that color definitions are quite similar when 21th century dictionaries and a 19th century dictionary are contrasted. Finding the same problems in color definitions of current and old dictionaries may indicate a gap in lexicographic studies concerning colors. This thesis aims to discuss and fill this gap. To do so, we tried to relate problems found in color entries to lexicographical theories, in order to explain these problems and, if possible, to solve them. This first analysis led us to conclude that color entries should be restructured. So it was necessary to set parameters, which could establish necessary informative segments to a color entry, and then restructure them. The restructured informative segments were explanatory paraphrases and examples. The restructuring was based on tenets of Cognitive Semantics. The Prototypical Theory and beliefs in Embodiment and Experientialism were very useful to the discussion about the chromatic phenomenon in lexicographical fields. From relating lexicographical theories to Cognitive Semantics, we concluded that simple color paraphrases should be explanatory, analytical paraphrases based on the metalanguage of the extensional sign, and they should rely on universal models of colors in their extensional part. Examples must be founded on short syntactic patterns and sentences with simple construction, relying on culturally situated, prototypical models of color categories. Besides this, simple colors must rely on ostensive replacement, situated in additional sections of the dictionary, which offer a picture of the related color. The picture has to represent/illustrate the entire category of that color, in accordance with the tenets of Cognitive Semantics about prototypical categories. Regarding complex colors, Conceptual Blending Theory shows that this kind of color does not require a definition, once its meaning is constructed by the decoding of the word itself. Our proposal concerning the lexicographical treatment of complex colors is to indicate them within the picture of simple colors. This study led us to conclude that, if one plans and restructures the three informative segments showed here (explanatory paraphrases, examples, and pictures), it is possible to provide more complete definitions of color words in semasiological dictionaries.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The classificatory system for features of humans in Sesotho has been investigated to show the unique nature of such human features. There are various models to handle the lexicon of a language and one of these models has been applied to Sesotho, i.e. the theory of the Generative lexicon. In chapter one attention has been given to the purpose of the study as well as various problems within lexical semantics such as lexical ambiguity. Chapter two is concerned with the theory of lexical semantics in which attention has been given to the various levels of representation of a noun in the lexicon. A representation has been given of the semantic entry of a noun in the Sesotho lexicon. Chapter three has the core of the study which investigates the semantic features of human nouns in Sesotho. Various semantic categories have been found within which such human nouns may be classified. The major categories contain nouns of humans with various physical and psychological features as well as nouns with features of various types of behaviour and features of wealth vs. poverty. Chapter four contains the conclusions of the study.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores the lexical semantic analysis of motion verb - phuma in Xhosa. In Chapter 1 the aim of the study is stated. Properties about the lexical semantic analysis of the verb -phuma as well as the generative lexicon theory by Pustejovsky (1996) are discussed. The theoretical framework and the organisation of study are also discussed in this chapter. Chapter 2 addresses in more detail the type system for semantics. A generative theory of the lexicon includes multiple levels of representation for different types of lexical information needed. Among such levels are Argument Structure, Event Structure, Qualia Structure and Inheritance Structure. Chapter 2 also represent in more detail the structure of qualia and the role they play in distributing the functional behaviour of words and phrases in composition. Chapter 3 examines the lexical semantic analysis of the verb -phuma to account for the range of selectional properties of the NP subject argument of the verb -phuma and the various interpretations that arise in terms of composition with its complement arguments. The polysemous behaviour of the verb -phuma is examined in sentence alternation constructions with respect to event structure properties. The lexical representation in terms of argument structure and the event structure of the verb -phuma in different sentences is also investigated. Chapter 4 is the conclusion, summarising the findings of all the previous chapters in this study on lexical semantic analysis of the motion verb -phuma in Xhosa.

Hoofstuk 2 bespreek in groter besonderhede die model van Generatiewe Leksikon teorie. 'n Generatiewe teorie van die leksikon sluit in veelvuldige vlakke van representasie vir die verskillende tipes leksikale inligting wat benodig word. Hierdie vlakke van representasie sluit in die Argument struktuur, Gebeure ('Event') struktuur, Qualia struktuur en Leksikale Erf (Inheritance) struktuur. Hoofstuk 2 bied ook in meer detail die struktuur van qualia en die rol wat dit speel in die verspreiding van die funksionele gedrag van woorde en frases in kombinasie. Hoofstuk 3 ondersoek die leksikaal-semantiese analise van die werkwoord -phuma en die verskeidenheid interpretasies wat beskikbaar is vir -phuma in kombinasie met die komplement argumente daarvan. Die polisemiese gedrag van die werkwoord -phuma word ondersoek in sinsalternasiekonstruksies ten opsigte van die gebeure ('event') struktuur. Die leksikale representasie in terme van argument struktuur en die gebeurestruktuur van die werkwoord -phuma ill verskillende sinne met verskillende seleksiekenmerke van die subjek, word ook ondersoek. Hoofstuk 4 is die Samevatting van die studie, wat 'n opsomming bied van die vernaamste bevindings van al die vorige hoofstukke van hierdie studie oor die leksikaal-semantiese analise van die werkwoord -phuma in Xhosa.

These new lexical creations were classificated in semantic fields like: television, politics, and everyday. We proposed, moreover, a presentation by graphics of the neologics resources more used by José Simão which were more used to verify the vivacity of the neological processes that he presented in his texts.

Abstract:

La thèse porte sur l’étude de l’emploi stylistique du lexique juridique français dans la prose de Georges Simenon. Il existe un nombre considérable d’ouvrages consacrés à la terminologie juridique, aux concepts de loi et de crime, au comportement discursif des avocats, à l’analyse linguistique des textes de lois, aux problèmes de la traduction du lexique juridique, à l’interférence linguistique, à l’étude des particularités pragmatiques, structurelles et sémantiques des textes des traités, et ainsi de suite. Dans notre thèse, le lexique juridique est étudié du point de vue de la stylistique, ce qui constitue sa nouveauté théorique aussi bien que pratique. Dans le premier chapitre, nous examinons certains termes d’appartenance juridique exclusive selon le classement de Gérard Cornu et nous montrons qu’une sixième partie d’entre eux sont susceptibles, au moins potentiellement, d’acquérir des sens figurés. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous étudions 53 termes juridiques utilisés par Georges Simenon au sens figuré décrivant de différentes situations de la vie courante, qui, dans la plupart des cas, ne sont pas liées au droit. Dans le troisième chapitre nous analysons, du point de vue opposé, les figures stylistiques employées pour caractériser de différentes situations juridiques présentes dans la prose de Georges Simenon. Ainsi, même si ces figures stylistiques sont relativement peu nombreuses, les recherches effectuées montrent que Georges Simenon, malgré son intention affichée, n’est pas parvenu à éliminer complètement les figures stylistiques, un des éléments constitutifs essentiels du langage poétique
Our thesis concerns studies of the stylistic use of the French legal vocabulary in Georges Simenon’s prose. In fact, legal terminology, concepts of law and crime, discursive behavior of lawyers, texts of laws, problems of legal translation, those of linguistic interference, those of pragmatic, structural and semantic peculiarities of the language of international agreements, for instance, were examined by different linguists. So, contemporary linguistics are interested in studying legal terminology from different points of view. On the other hand, during the last decades, linguostylistic studies are also developing very quickly. In our thesis, legal terminology is studied from the point of view of stylistics, and this approach constitutes its’ theoretical and practical novelty. In the first chapter we examine some terms belonging exclusively to legal terminology, in accordance with Gerard Cornu’s classification, and we show that in reality approximately one sixth part of them can acquire, at least potentially, some figural meanings. In the second chapter, we study 53 legal terms used by Georges Simenon in their figural meaning to describe different situations from everyday life which, in the most of cases, are not associated with legal situations. In the third chapter we analyze, from the opposite point of view, stylistic figures used to characterize different legal situations presented in Georges Simenon’s prose. To summarize, even if these figures are relatively small in number, our thesis shows that the writer, in spite of his artistic intention, was not able to eliminate them completely and that they remain one of the most important elements of the poetical language

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores the lexical semantic analysis of -bamba, -gcina and -Iondoloza. In chapter 1 the aim of the study is stated. Properties about the lexical semantic analysis of the verbs -bamba, -geina, and -Iondoloza as well as the generative lexicon theory by Pustejovsky (1996) are discussed. The theoretical framework and the organisation of study are also discussed in this chapter. Chapter 2 addresses in more detail the type system for semantics. A generative theory of the lexicon includes multiple levels of representation for different types of lexical information needed. Among such levels are Argument Structure, Event Structure, Qualia Structure and Leical Inheritance Structure. Chapter 2 also represents in more detail thé structure of qualia and the role they play in distributing the functional behaviour of words and phrases in composition. Chapter 3 examines the lexical semantic analysis of the verbs -bamba, -gcina and - londoloza to account for the range of selectional properties of the NP subject argument of these verbs, and the various interpretations that arise in terms of composition with their complement arguments. The polysemous behaviour of the verbs -bamba, -gcina and - londoloza are examined in sentence alternation constructions with respect to event structure properties. The lexical representation in terms of argument structure and the event structure of the verbs -bamba, -gcina and -Iondoloza in different sentences are also investigated. Chapter 4 is the conclusion, summarising the findings of all the previous chapters in this study on lexical semantic analysis of the 'hold' verbs -bamba, -gcina and -Iondoloza in Xhosa.

Hierdie vlakke van representasie sluit in die Argument struktuur, Gebeure ('Event') struktuur, Qualia struktuur en Leksikale Erf (Inheritance) struktuur. Hoofstuk 2 bied ook in meer detail die struktuur van qualia en die rol wat dit speel in die verspreiding van die funksionele gedrag van woorde en frases in kombinasie. Hoofstuk 3 ondersoek die leksikaal-semantiese analise van die werkwoorde -bamba, - gcina en -Iondoloza en die verskeidenheid interpretasies wat beskikbaar is vir hierdie werkwoorde in kombinasie met die komplement argument daarvan. Die polisemiese gedrag van die werkwoorde -bamba, -gcina en -Iondoloza word ondersoek in sinsalternasiekonstruksies ten opsigte van die gebeure ('event') struktuur. Die leksikale representasie in terme van argument struktuur en die gebeurestruktuur van hierdie werkwoorde in verskillende sinne met verskillende seleksiekenmerke van die subjek, word ook ondersoek.

Abstract:

Abstract The present study focuses on the semantics of Finnish emotion words (e.g. joy, anger). My aim has been to investigate and describe what kinds of linguistic-semantic interpretations arise from an emotions vocabulary compiled using a questionnaire as a research instrument. Moreover, I was interested in finding out what kinds of emotions the Finns identify. The data used for the study consisted of the written responses of a hundred Finns of various ages to a questionnaire item, which asked them to name various emotions. Besides the two objectives above, male and female conceptual frameworks for emotions were compared in the study, as well as those of different age groups. Both a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of the data, which consists of 2020 responses, were carried out. The view of language adopted for this study draws from the basic notions of cognitive linguistics. I applied Anna Wierzbicka's ideas to the semantic grouping of emotion words. Moreover, the explanations given for the 51 most commonly used emotion words were based on Wierzbicka's idea of a natural semantic meta-language. I also used for the word descriptions the information provided by the Kielipankki newspaper corpus on the use of emotion words. The semantic contents of emotion words were explained as prototypical scenarios using the following semantic primitives: I, PERSON/SOMEONE, SOMETHING, THIS, OTHER, GOOD, BAD, THINK, KNOW, WANT, FEEL, CAN, DO, HAPPEN, THERE IS, WHEN, NOW, BEFORE, AFTER, A LONG TIME, A SHORT TIME, FOR SOME TIME, SOMETIMES, MIND, BODY, NEAR, INSIDE, NOT, TRUE, MAYBE, CAN, WOULD 'cond.', BECAUSE, IF, VERY, LIKE, MORE, SOME. The following semantic main categories were defined for emotion words: "Something good happened or will happen", "Something bad happened or will happen", "I want", "I don't want", "I think something about myself", "I think something about others", "I know / don't know". I investigated the status and significance of emotion words for the speakers of Finnish by using a cognitive significance index. The index has been developed by Urmas Sutrop particularly for the analysis of listing tasks. The cognitively most important emotion words for Finns were found to be: viha, ilo, rakkaus, suru, pelko, onnellisuus, kateus, ahdistus, väsymys, masennus, tuska, ihastus, tyytyväisyys, inho, jännitys, pettymys, kaipaus, rauhallisuus, ikävä, and toivo. According to this study, the emotions with the highest frequency of expression in the Finnish language are hatred, joy, love and sorrow. Women were found to have more words for emotions (23.0) than men (17.6). The emotion vocabulary includes more negative words (53%) than positive ones (43%). The findings of this study suggest that the Finns think more often good of other people than bad, and more often bad of themselves than good
Tiivistelmä Tutkimukseni aiheena on suomen kielen tunteiden (esim. ilo, viha) semantiikka. Tavoitteenani on ollut tutkia ja kuvata, millainen lingvistinen semanttinen tulkinta tutkimukseni kyselyllä koostetusta tunnesanastosta muodostuu ja millaisia tunteita suomalaiset mieltävät olevan olemassa. Tutkimukseni perusaineiston muodostivat sadan eri-ikäisen suomalaisen kirjalliset vastaukset tehtävään, jossa he saivat vapaasti luetella tunteiden nimityksiä. Lisäksi olen vertaillut miesten ja naisten sekä eri ikäryhmien tunnekäsitteistyksiä. Tutkin saamaani 2 020 vastauksesta muodostunutta aineistoa sekä laadullisesti että määrällisesti. Työni kielinäkemys pohjautuu kognitiivisen kielentutkimuksen peruskäsityksiin. Sovelsin Anna Wierzbickan näkemyksiä tunnesanojen merkityksenmukaisessa ryhmittelyssä ja ajatusta luonnollisesta semanttisesta metakielestä 51 tyypillisimmän tunnesanan selittämisessä. Hyödynsin kuvauksissani myös Kielipankin lehtikorpusten antamaan tietoa tunnesanojen käytöstä. Selitin tunnesanojen merkityssisällöt prototyyppisinä skenaariona seuraavien semanttisten primitiivien avulla: MINÄ/ITSE, IHMINEN/HÄN/JOKU, ASIA/JOKIN, TÄMÄ, MUU/TOINEN, HYVÄ, PAHA/HUONO, AJATELLA, TIETÄÄ, HALUTA, TUNTEA, VOIDA, TEHDÄ, TAPAHTUA, OLLA / OLLA OLEMASSA, KUN, NYT, ENNEN, JÄLKEEN, KAUAN AIKAA, VÄHÄN AIKAA, JONKIN AIKAA, JOSKUS, MIELI, RUUMIS, LÄHELLÄ, SISÄLLÄ, EI/KIELTO, TOTTA, EHKÄ, SAATTAA, -ISI-, KOSKA/VUOKSI, JOS, HYVIN, KALTAISUUS, ENEMMÄN/LISÄÄ, VÄHÄN. Varsinaisista tunnesanoista hahmotin seuraavat päämerkitysryhmät: "Jotakin hyvää tapahtui tai tapahtuu", "Jotakin pahaa tapahtui tai tapahtuu", "Haluan", "En halua", "Ajattelen itsestäni jotain", "Ajattelen toisista jotain", "Tiedän / en tiedä". Selvitin aineistoni tunnesanojen asemaa ja tärkeyttä kielenpuhujien mielessä kognitiivisen tärkeyden indeksin avulla. Indeksin on kehitellyt Urmas Sutrop nimenomaan luettelointitehtävien analysointia varten. Suomalaisille kognitiivisesti tärkeimmiksi tunnesanoiksi osoittautuivat viha, ilo, rakkaus, suru, pelko, onnellisuus, kateus, ahdistus, väsymys, masennus, tuska, ihastus, tyytyväisyys, inho, jännitys, pettymys, kaipaus, rauhallisuus, ikävä, toivo. Tutkimukseni mukaan suomen kielen perustunteita ovat viha, ilo, rakkaus ja suru. Naisilla on runsaammin sanoja (23,0) tunteille kuin miehillä (17,6). Tunnesanastossa on enemmän negatiivisia (53 %) kuin positiivisia (43 %) sanoja. Tutkimukseni perusteella suomalaiset muun muassa ajattelevat toisista ihmistä enemmän hyvää kuin huonoa ja itsestä enemmän huonoa kuin hyvää

Abstract:

Applications to word sense disambiguation, an aspect of semantic interpretation, are used to evaluate the contributions. Disambiguation systems which utilize semantically annotated training data are considered supervised. The algorithms of this dissertation are considered minimally-supervised; they do not require training data created by humans, though they may use human-created data sources. In the case of evaluating a database of common sense knowledge, integrating the knowledge into an existing minimally-supervised disambiguation system significantly improved results -- a 20.5\% error reduction. Similarly, the Web selectors disambiguation system, which acquires knowledge directly as part of the algorithm, achieved results comparable with top minimally-supervised systems, an F-score of 80.2\% on a standard noun disambiguation task. This work enables the study of many subsequent related tasks for improving semantic interpretation and its application to real-world technologies. Other aspects of semantic interpretation, such as semantic role labeling could utilize the same methods presented here for word sense disambiguation. As the Web continues to grow, the capabilities of the systems in this dissertation are expected to increase. Although the Web selectors system achieves great results, a study in this dissertation shows likely improvements from acquiring more data. Furthermore, the methods for acquiring a database of common sense knowledge could be applied in a more exhaustive fashion for other types of common sense knowledge. Finally, perhaps the greatest benefits from this work will come from the enabling of real world technologies that utilize semantic interpretation.; This work investigates the effective acquisition of lexical knowledge from the Web to perform semantic interpretation. The Web provides an unprecedented amount of natural language from which to gain knowledge useful for semantic interpretation. The knowledge acquired is described as common sense knowledge, information one uses in his or her daily life to understand language and perception. Novel approaches are presented for both the acquisition of this knowledge and use of the knowledge in semantic interpretation algorithms. The goal is to increase accuracy over other automatic semantic interpretation systems, and in turn enable stronger real world applications such as machine translation, advanced Web search, sentiment analysis, and question answering. The major contributions of this dissertation consist of two methods of acquiring lexical knowledge from the Web, namely a database of common sense knowledge and Web selectors. The first method is a framework for acquiring a database of concept relationships. To acquire this knowledge, relationships between nouns are found on the Web and analyzed over WordNet using information-theory, producing information about concepts rather than ambiguous words. For the second contribution, words called Web selectors are retrieved which take the place of an instance of a target word in its local context. The selectors serve for the system to learn the types of concepts that the sense of a target word should be similar. Web selectors are acquired dynamically as part of a semantic interpretation algorithm, while the relationships in the database are useful to stand-alone programs. A final contribution of this dissertation concerns a novel semantic similarity measure and an evaluation of similarity and relatedness measures on tasks of concept similarity. Such tasks are useful when applying acquired knowledge to semantic interpretation.

Abstract:

A vast array of computer-based simulation tools are used to support engineering design and analysis activities. Several such activities call for the simulation of various coupled sub-systems in parallel, typically to study the emergent behavior of large, complex systems. Most sub-systems have their own simulation models associated with them, which need to interoperate with each other in a federated fashion to simulate system-level behavior. The run-time exchange of information between federate simulations requires a common information model that defines the representation of simulation concepts shared between federates. However, most federate simulations employ disparate representations of shared concepts. Therefore, it is often necessary to implement transformation stubs that convert concepts between their common representation to those used in federate simulations. The tasks of defining a common representation for shared simulation concepts and building translation stubs around them adds to the cost of performing a system-level simulation. In this thesis, a framework to support automation and reuse in the process of achieving interoperability between federate simulations is developed. This framework uses ontologies as a means to capture the semantics of different simulation concepts shared in a federation in a formal, reusable fashion. Using these semantics, a common representation for shared simulation entities, and a corresponding set of transformation stubs to convert entities from their federate to common representations (and vice-versa) are derived automatically. As a foundation to this framework, a schema to enable the capture of simulation concepts in an ontology is specified. Also, a graph-based algorithm is developed to extract the appropriate common information model and transformation procedures between federate and common simulation entities. As a proof of concept, this framework is applied to support the development of a federated air traffic simulation. To progress with the design of an airport, the combined operation of its individual systems (air traffic control, ground traffic control, and ground-based aircraft services) in handling varying volumes of aircraft traffic is to be studied. To do so, the individual simulation models corresponding to the different sub-systems of the airport need to be federated, for which the ontology-based framework is applied.

Abstract:

La tension constante qui s’instaure entre dictionnaires et approches théoriques de la signification s’avère une dynamique majeure de l’histoire et de l’historicité des idées linguistiques. Il s’agit dès lors de faire ressortir la perméabilité, les effets de continuité et les ruptures éventuelles entre les dictionnaires en tant qu’outils linguistiques et les approches théoriques qui se penchent sur le sens. La période retenue permet de suivre, sur le moyen terme, les formes de cette interaction. Il s’agit, dans un premier temps, de voir comment la lexicographie monolingue française de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle contribue à la promotion du sens au rang d’objet d’étude. En effet, le dictionnaire s’avère un lieu heuristique révélateur des problèmes théoriques que pose la description sémantique. À partir des matériaux empiriques collectés dans le cadre de cette description de la langue, les linguistes de la fin du XIXe siècle cherchent à parvenir à une synthèse des observations. Une relecture du débat qui se développe autour de l’institutionnalisation de la sémantique au XIXe siècle permet de montrer, dans un deuxième temps, que les dilemmes du lexicographe sont susceptibles d’aboutir à des impasses théoriques. Néanmoins, les failles repérées dans les outils linguistiques sollicitent la réflexion et lui suggèrent de nouvelles hypothèses. Dans un troisième temps, il s’agit de retracer, au cours du XXe siècle, la dispersion de l’interaction entre dictionnaires et approches théoriques du sens et ce, dans des horizons de recherche différents qui adoptent l’outil linguistique comme modèle de la langue, de la compétence sémantique ou comme terrain d’expérimentation
The constant strain between dictionaries and theoretical approaches to signification proves to be one of the major dynamics of the history and the historicity of linguistic ideas. Hence what matters is to bring out the permeability, the effects of continuity and the possible breaking points between dictionaries as linguistic tools and the theoretical approaches that look into meaning. The period considered here provides an understanding of the various forms of this interaction in the medium term. First, this study shows how French monolingual lexicography in the second half of the 19th century contributes to making meaning an object of study. As a matter of fact dictionaries prove to play a heuristic role which reveals the theoretical problems raised by semantic description. From the empirical evidence collected in the context of that description of language, late 19th-century linguists seek to come to a synthesis of observations. A new reading of the debate surrounding the institutionalization of semantics in the 19th century then shows that a lexicographer’s dilemmas are likely to end up in theoretical deadlocks. Nevertheless, the faults found in linguistic tools trigger off further reflection and suggest new hypotheses. Finally, this study aims to trace back the dissipation of the interaction between dictionaries and theoretical approaches to meaning, during the 20th century, thanks to different research perspectives which take on linguistic tools as the model for language, for semantic competence, or as an experimental field
