Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is the examination of syntactic changes in the Portuguese Noun Phrase. The data on which it is based consist of successive texts which are taken as representative of consecutive periods of the Portuguese language, from the 14th c onwards. Some information about present-day Brazilian Portuguese also given. Firstly, the position of the Adjective with respect to the Noun in the Noun Phrase 15 investigated within a word order change framework. According to the statistical analysis of the Adjective, Old/Middle Portuguese has shown a predominant order adjective/Noun (AN) whereas Modern Portuguese is predominantly Noun/Adjective (NA). The data available show a sharp decrease in the use of of Adjectives around the 18th C. After that time Postposition replaced Anteposition as the preferred order...Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic digital thesis or dissertations

in Turkish Genitive-Possessive (GEN-POSS) constructions. Structural priming is the facilitating effect of having already experienced a structural form on its subsequent processing. We investigate this phenomenon on a construction pair in Turkish, which shares the same external GEN-POSS morpho-syntactic template despite having distinct grammatical categories. The structures under scrutiny are possessive noun phrases (e.g. &ldquo
Korsan, [prenses-in(GEN) ö
ykü
-sü
n(POSS.3SG)]-ü
hatirladi.&rdquo
which means: The pirate remembered [the princess&rsquo
s story].) and embedded noun clauses with nominalized verbs as predicates (e.g. &ldquo
Korsan, [prenses-in(GEN) gü
l-dü
g(VN)-ü
n(POSS.3SG)]-ü
hatirladi.&rdquo
which means: The pirate remembered [that the princess (had) laughed/was laughing].) The results of the study which consists of a series of production and comprehension experiments with various methodologies (written sentence completion, self-paced reading and eye-tracking) indicate that structural priming might access the morphosyntactic level of representation in Turkish. Priming seems sensitive to the distinction between the phrasal vs. clausal nature of structures. During the processing of GEN-POSS constructions, the grammatical information regarding the constituents is accessed. Complex forms are further decomposed if processing resources are available. Overall, language production and comprehension seem to operate on the same structural representations but through different mechanisms. In addition, the study also contributes to the understanding of structural priming as a methodological paradigm and to the establishment of a bridge between the processing and theoretical linguistic analysis of Turkish nominalized verbs. To conclude, this study pioneers in exploring structural priming in Turkish and opens way to future research in this line.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study focused on three descriptive nominal modifiers which specify the attributes of nouns, i.e. the morphological adjective, the relative clause and the descriptive possessive. The morphological adjective appears in an adjectival phrase, which has to consist of a determiner and an adjective. The adjective must have agreement with the head noun in an NP. The adjective root may appear with nominal suffixes such as -ana and -gadi, it can be reduplicated, it may be transposed to other categories and it may even be compounded. The AP may also occur in predicative position as well as in comparative clauses. The relative clause may have the same semantic properties as the adjective. The relative clause in Setswana consists of a determiner in the position of the complementizer followed by an lP. Such an lP may have a copulative or non-copulative verb. Attention in this study has focused on the nominal relative, which appears as a complement of a copulative verb. These nominal relative stems have been divided into two sections, i.e. a section in which the nominal relative stems may not appear in a descriptive possessive construction and a second section where these stems may also appear as a complement of the possessive [a]. The semantic features of these nominal relative stems have been isolated and it is clear that they show a wide variety of semantic features. This type of relative clause represents the most prolific category, which specifies the attributes of nouns. The third category, which displays the semantic feature of an attribute of a noun, is the descriptive possessive construction. The syntactic and semantic structure of this type of phrase has been investigated. A wide variety of complements of the possessive [a] have been isolated in Setswana and some semantic features have received specific attention, i.e. group nouns and partitives.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie fokus op drie deskriptiewe nominale bepalers wat die attribute van naamwoorde spesifiseer nl. die morfologiese adjektief, die relatief en die deskriptiewe possessief. Die morfologiese adjektief kom voor in 'n adjektieffrase wat bestaan uit 'n bepaler en 'n adjektief. Die adjektief moet klasooreenstemming hê met die kernnaamwoord in 'n naamwoordfrase. Die adjektiefstam kan voorkom met nominale suffikse soos ana en gadi, dit kan geredupliseer word, oorgeplaas word na ander kategorieë en selfs samestellings vorm. Die adjektieffrase kan ook voorkom in 'n predikatiewe posisie sowel as in vergelykings. Die relatief kan dieselfde semantiese eienskappe hê as die adjektief. Die relatief in Setswana bestaan uit 'n bepaler in die posisie van die komplementeerder gevolg deur 'n infleksiefrase. So 'n infleksiefrase kan 'n kopulatiewe of nie-kopulatiewe werkwoord bevat. Die aandag in hierdie studie het gekonsentreer op die nominale relatief wat voorkom as 'n komplement van 'n kopulatiewe werkwoord. Hierdie nominale relatiewe stamme is verdeel in twee afdelings nl. 'n afdeling waarin die nominale relatiewe stamme nie kan voorkom in 'n deskriptiewe possessiewe konstruksie en 'n tweede afdeling waar hierdie stamme ook kan voorkom as 'n komplement van die possessiewe [a]. Die semantiese kenmerke van hierdie nominale relatiewe stamme is geïsoleer en dit is duidelik dat hulle 'n wye verskeidenheid van semantiese kenmerke het. Hierdie tipe relatief verteenwoordig In baie wye keuse t.o.v. die attribute van naamwoorde. Die derde kategorie wat die semantiese kenmerk van 'n attribuut van 'n naamwoord vertoon, is die deskriptiewe possessiewe konstruksie. Die sintaktiese en semantiese struktuur van hierdie tipe frase is nagegaan. 'n Groot verskeidenheid komplemente van die possessiewe [a] is geïsoleer in Setswana en sommige semantiese kenmerke het spesifieke aandag gekry nl. groepnaamwoorde en partitiiewe.

Full textThis study aims at detailing the expressive effects produced by the use of the adjective clauses in Clarice Lispectors short stories. This objective was achieved by the selection of noun syntagms containing adjective clauses taken from the narratives found in the first two pieces of work of the authors short stories: Laços de família and A legião estrangeira. By focusing on the semanticstylistic analysis of the description of the characters, the adjective clauses presented themselves as one of the driving engines of the poetic prose, thus contributing to the construction of an introspective fictional world. This can be explained by the semantic relastionships, divided up into the adjective clause and the nuclear subject of the noun syntagm, among which there is and inventive production of images that demonstrate the characters subjectivity and build up a writing full of expressive resources such as the metaphor, the synecdoche and the antonomasy.

Full textIn the modern world, to guard themselves from damage and to protect at best their economical interests, companies use contractual techniques developed by usage such as non-compete clauses,confidentiality clauses, non-reaffiliation clauses and non-solicitation clauses. These clauses cover many fields of contractual legality, mixing contract law, labor law and business law. Their aim is to prohibit the co-contractor to practice a professional activity, to disclose secret information, or even to employ specific colleagues, or contributors. Thus, they are brought to restrict a fundamental freedom, specifically the freedom of trade and of industry. As a result, it appears necessary to formulate a common legal system for all these clauses so as to preserve on one side the protection of the economic activity of the companies et on the other side the safeguard of the economic freedom of the co-contractors subject to these clauses. The benefit of a common legal system is the anticipation of the conditions of validity and implementation of this type of clause. In this way, the cocontractants will not lack in foresight. The development of this common right is in two steps. This includes confirming their autonomy relative to the contracts in which they may be inserted and draw the necessary conclusions regarding their validity. The second step is relative to the implementation of these clauses. Their application is sensitive because it depends for the most part on the precision of their content. In case of a breach of contract, a large array of legal remedies is available to the aggrieved contractor to penalize the breach of contract

Full textDespite the significance of the exemption clauses in international transactions, the notion of such clauses suffers from great obscurity. In addition, there has been no unified criteria to determine the validity of these clauses. This question of validity is currently left to the authorities of national laws. The goal of study is to define the notion of the exemption clauses by setting a uniform criteria for these clauses. First, the study examines the difficulties surrounding this notion which arise from the existence of two different types of responsibilities as well as the existence of similar clauses that could be wrongly identified as exemption clauses. Second, the study evaluates the criteria used to determine the existence of an exemption clause. This criteria considers any clause that diminishes the contractual responsibility an exemption clause. This approach is criticised as it leads to an exaggerated enlargement of the notion of the exemption clauses and therefore causes many inconveniences. The study suggests a new criteria for the exemption clauses. This criteria can work as a uniform rule of international business law. Our criteria is based on the parties' intentions which can be uncovered from the contracual terms determining the feasible damages. For the question of the validity of an exemption clause, the study attempts to find the most suitable solution given the context and special characters of international business contracts. The study proves that the exemption clause is an essential part of the contractual equilibrium. Therefore, the criteria used to judge the validity of an exemption clause has to consider the effect this clause has on such equilibrium. The solutions of conflict of laws are also examined in order to determine the applicable law on the validity question. Moreover, the study investigates the role of public policy rules in preventing the applicability of certain exemption clauses

Full textThe objet of this thesis is to create a method that could explain a phenomenon that has been observed by scholars and practitioners of law for decades; which is the extension end the transmission of certain clauses in chain agreements and contractual sets. Through this method one should be able, on one hand, to justify this phenomenon in regard to general principals of law and, on the other hand, to find an explanation for some necessary derogations to the Law.The first step in this thesis was to find answers for some basic questions about groups of contracts that have a direct impact on our subject. We have demonstrated that the fundament of contractual sets relies in the concept of “economy of contract”. Members of chain agreements and contractual sets should be considered as third parties in their mutual relationships. Direct action, which constitutes the dynamic face of chain agreements, could be analyzed as a multilateral set-off. In multiparty contractual sets, the set could not produce its effects in regard to its members unless it could be proven that the concerned member has knowledge of the existence of the other contracts forming the set and of the links between these contracts and his own one. Finally, in two parties’ contractual sets, it’s mandatory to distinguish between a real contractual set, and complex contract which is merely a contract written in several documents. We have proposed a chronological method to establish this distinction, taking into account the number of times the parties have exchanged their consent. After this preliminary part, we have studied precedents regarding the extension and the transmission of some clauses in chain agreements and contractual sets. Jurisdiction clauses and arbitration clauses are by far the most represented, but other clauses such as clauses of disclaimer of warranty, clauses of limited liability, clauses of waiver of action and clauses of non-competition are also sometimes extended or transmitted to other contracts and/or to other members in the group. Through an analysis of these decisions, we have shown that some of them didn’t have enough legal ground. Using those decisions that seemed to us well-founded, we have deduced a number of rules that could be applied for other cases of extension and transmission of clauses in groups of contracts.The rules that we have deduces from the study of the case law, together with the answers that we have provided for some preliminary questions in the first part of the thesis, have lead us to find the method we are looking for in this study.The first step in this method is to recognize the type of group of contracts involved: is it a chain agreement, a multiparty contractual set or a two parties’ set ?If it’s a contractual set between two parties, the first question should be to decide whether it’s really a contractual set, or if it’s a complex contract. If the group of contracts involved is a chain agreement or a multiparty contractual set, then one should wonder whether the doctrine of privity of contract could form an obstacle against the extension or the transmission of the clause. We have demonstrated in this thesis that article 1165 of the Civil Code is only applicable to clauses that contain an obligation. In order to qualify recognize clauses having an “obligational” content, we have proposed five fundamental elements. If the clause contains an obligation it could not be extended to the other members of the chain agreement or the contractual set. Otherwise, the clause is potentially opposable.There are only two exceptions to the doctrine of privity of contract. The first one, in chain agreements is the transmission of rights to singular successors. This exception could be justified by article 1122 of the Civil Code and by the concept of accessoire. The second exception could be seen in contractual sets where the binding authority of the clause could not be respected unless it is extended to certain third parties

Full textThis study focuses on so-called non-canonical or unintegrated clauses in German. These clauses cannot easily be categorized as either subordinate or coordinate by using classical criteria like the syntactic function or the position of the finite verb. In linguistics in general, this phenomenon has been discussed since the seventies (Davison 1979) and Fabricius-Hansen (1992) brought this topic to German linguistics. Apart from the mere identification of non-canonical clause types, previous studies mostly deal with classification approaches in order to be able to subsume at least some non-canonical clause types under the same category, see Fabricius-Hansen (1992) or Reis (1997). This study aims at providing an exhaustive classification of non-canonical clause types. In order to do so, I will first look at all potential diagnostics that could be used to distinguish between different clause linkage patterns. This needs to be addressed because most previous studies simply assume a certain set of diagnostics to be relevant and valid. Eventually, it will turn out that only a very limited number of criteria can serve as clear diagnostics with regard to a certain clause linkage status. After that, I will present a taxonomy of German clauses that is able to cover all non-canonical clauses only with postulating one additional subcategory. Furthermore, this classification is also able to cover the numerous cases of non-canonical clauses that show idiosyncratic behavior. Besides, I will further show how such a classification can address so-called secondary diagnostics. Finally, the previously established taxonomy will be embedded in a generative framework. By using HPSG and its default inheritance principle, it is possible to capture all non-canonical clause types within one simple classification.

The overabundance of means that allows the judge to eliminate limiting clauses leads us to question whether or not he has the possibility to propose a judicial review of these clauses.

Full textCreating a judicial revision of limitation clauses can improve judicial power in this particular area of contractual law. The judge, even sua sponte, would be able to increase the agreed-upon liquidated damages limitation if it is ridiculously low. This technique is really suited to the situation because the term of the contract is not eliminated but simply heightened to a reasonable standard. Thus, the judge is allowed to takes a very moderate line. He can adjust the punishment to the right level. Both contemporary transformation in contractual law (element of proportionality and solidarity) and statutary law (French civil code, article 1152) can make this judicial revision of limitation clauses come true

Full textThe irresponsibility clause is fundamentally analysed not as an agreement about the fixing of obligations or the modes of responsability but as an agreement about damages. Therefore, the principle of the validity of the irresponsibility clause must be accepted even thow the damage affected the individual because it doesn't at all allow negligence, it goes against its subject as well as the criminal law's action through the principle of the unity of offence. It's the solution of moroccan law. As far as the damage to possessions is concerned, despite both the legal and doctrinal and jurisprudencial clear hostility with notably the tenth of january 1978 law about the consumer protection, tending to reduice it to its most simply expression, the irresponsibility clause seems to find a new strength in the recent evolution of concepts of group of contracts and stipulation for others with expenses. In morocco, in the actual state of legislation and jurisprudence, only the consent defects theory is able to moderate the effects or irresponsibility clauses

Full textFrench law makes a doctrinal distinction between : "obligation de resulat-obligation de moyens". An "obligation de resultat" exists when the creditor should obtain a certain result. There is an "obligation de moyens" when the contract tends towards a result but the debitor cannot guarantee he will succeed. The prototype is the medical obligation : a doctor can be only very careful but he cannot guarantee the recovery. In case of breach of contract, that distinction induces the rules to be applicated in the search of liability out of contract. 1 - if the contract contains an "obligation de resultat", the debitor can only be releaved of his responsability when he proves that some irresistible circumstances outside his control, have prevent him to do what he was engaged to. (art. 1147 et 1148 code civil). 2 - if the obligation is an "obligation de moyens", the creditor must prove the debitor's fault. Usually such "obligation de moyens" is founded on the idea of a of "bon pere de famille'"s behaviour (art. 1137 code civil). This research, through the case-law and the statutory law, leads towards following result : this notion of "bon pere de famille" explains how the debitor has to act : very carefully. But that doesn't signify who must prove what, in case of breach of contract. There is no rule which asks the creditor to prove the debitor's fault. The demonstration is that provisions 1147, 1148 and 1315 code civil, must be applied in every case, because they are general and can rule every obligation. This research proves also that the cases when the debitor is relieved of his responsability are too restricted, and that the absence of fault can be included : if the debitor can prove that he didn't make any mistake, then he could be relieved. This demonstration explains that the distinction is valid to define the content of the contract, but must not lead towards an application of different rules. The statutory law (art. 1147 et 1315 c. Civ) must be applied in every circumstance whether that's an "obligation de resultat" or an "obligation de moyens"

Title: From To-infinitives to Gerunds – an Essay on the Translation of Non-finite Clauses
Author: Sanna Evaldsson
The aim of this study is to find out how non-finite clauses are translated into Swedish and what translation strategies are applied in the process of translation. Non-finite clauses are very effective stylistic devises providing condensed and concise language, which is useful in academic texts. Even though English and Swedish are both languages of Germanic origin and share similarities, the translation of these clauses into can be difficult due to the languages’ different uses of non-finites.
To provide with material for this essay, a translation of a text written by Nicholas Cook has been made by the author of the essay and the two texts have been compared in order to make generalizations. The to-infinitive, the present participle, the past participle clauses and the gerund are features which are treated in this study. They are treated separately and their translations are compared with the secondary literature, which include grammars and books on translation theory.
The results for this study show that the translation strategies used for these types of clauses are ‘equivalence’, ‘structural shift’, ‘correspondence’, ‘transposition’ and ‘level shift’. The former three seem to be the most common, while the latter two are less frequently used.
Keywords: non-finite clauses, to-infinitive, present participle, past participle, gerund, translation.

Full textRecentemente têm-se colocado em questão o uso do subjuntivo na Língua Portuguesa falada no Brasil. Fala-se da morte do subjuntivo, assumindo-se como fato real a hipótese de que as modalidades tradicionalmente expressas por meio do subjuntivo não estão mais sendo expressas por meio deste, ou caminhando para tal fim. O presente estudo busca desmistificar tal assunto analisando o uso de modalidades expressas pelo subjuntivo e pelo infinitivo em orações completivas regidas por verbos não factivos situados nos campos semânticos vontade e pedido/recomendação. Analisam-se, assim, não apenas estruturas em que o subjuntivo e o infinitivo são usados para expressar tais modalidades, tendo-se como critério da escolha de cada modo os sujeitos das orações principais e suas subordinadas, como também estruturas com o uso de Estruturas Alternativas (EAs) para a expressão dessas. Uma vez que tal pesquisa tem como foco a descrição de regras da língua falada, optou-se por realizar tal sistematização de acordo com a Gramática Funcional do Discurso (GDF) e se ter como objeto de estudo o português distenso falado no Brasil, ou seja, o português efetivamente falado pela classe escolarizada brasileira e usado pela mídia. Desta maneira, pode-se contribuir para uma área da descrição da Língua Portuguesa que se encontra, em geral, pouco detalhada e desatualizada em Gramáticas Tradicionais e livros de Língua Portuguesa como Língua Materna e como Segunda Língua.
The use of the subjunctive in spoken Brazilian Portuguese language has been much discussed in the last decades. Much is said about the death of the subjunctive, assuming as real the hypothesis that modalities traditionally expressed by the subjunctive are no longer being expressed by this mood, or on the way. This study aims to analyze the use of modalities expressed by the subjunctive and the infinitive in complement clauses selected by non-factive verbs of the volitive and request/recommendation semantic areas. Thus, in this dissertation, we analyze not only structures in which the subjunctive and the infinitive are used to express these modalities, considering the main and the subordinate clauses subjects as a criteria for mood choice, but also clauses in which these modalities are expressed with the use of Alternative Structures. Since this research focus on spoken language rules description, we did this systematization according to the Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) and selected as object of study the Portuguese language Brazilian educated class and media use. That way, this dissertation contributes to an area of the Brazilian Portuguese language description that, in general, needs to be detailed and updated in Traditional Grammars and Portuguese language as native or second language books.

Full textThe resolutory clause is a contractual provision allowing contractors to unilaterally terminate the contract in the event of non-performance, without recourse to the court. It may be provided in many contracts, the advantages of the speed and predictability of the sanction operating outside the court, constituting the interest of such a clause. However, the judge is not totally excluded from the mechanism of the resolutory clause, he will intervene a posteriori to note the resolution and the change of legal situation. The interest of this clause in the matter of commercial lease is all the more evident since the lessee’s right to lease is strongly protected by the legislator through the right to unlimited renewal of the lease. In addition, the subsequent clause inserted in the commercial lease is addressed by a mandatory provision in the statute of commercial leases to govern its exercise. The present study will thus focus on the role of the judge in the application of the subsequent clause in the statutory commercial lease. The lessor may, by means of the subsequent clause, generally drafted in his sole interest, anticipate and organize the penalty for the lessee’s non-performance without having to suffer from the judge’s judgment. Excluded a priori from the resolution process, the judge called upon to ascertain later the regular implementation of the clause will carry out a strict review of legality. At the same time, it will also have means derived from the law of commercial lease, the law of companies in difficulty and the common law of contracts, allowing it to carry out a real opportunity check, thus removing the subsequent clause from its essence and bringing it very close to the judicial resolution. From an eviction of the judge by the contract, we are witnessing a return of the judge by law questioning the efficiency of the resolutory clause inserted in the statutory commercial lease

Full textIt is rooted in our law that the status of commercial leases is a protective status of tenants. But some aspects of the rental relationship have not been considered by that status. Foremost among these issues is competition. Indeed, although the status of commercial leases provides needed for sustainability of land used material stability, this stability can be undermined by the existence of competition in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, tenants, traders and artisans can see the operation of their business, and therefore their loyalty customers some little threatened. But this threat is even more noticeable when the landlord owns several premises within a building or building complex. It can of course come from the lessor himself if he decides to operate a similar business of his tenant, or come from the other housemates of the building. To protect himself, a non-competition or exclusivity clause is frequently inserted in commercial leases, to prohibit the debtor to carry on business in competition with that of the creditor. However, some ambiguity appears insofar as such provisions have a dual aspiration, namely the one hand economic efficiency by ensuring the attractiveness of the premises, and on the second hand, in terms of individual reports, a conservative in that they tend to "freeze" a favorable situation. The question of the legality of such a clause arises: it is therefore important to find a justification of the non-competition obligation in commercial leases

Full textIn today's modern world of medicine, most, if not all, physician employment contracts contain non-compete clauses. Non-competes, also known as restrictive covenants, essentially function as restraints on trade. Non-competes act as a restraint in the medical arena by preventing physicians from taking patients with them when physicians begin new employment or, alternatively, depart on a self-employment basis. They also restrain physicians from competitively practicing medicine in a predetermined geographic area for a specified period of time.
Restraints on trade have a long noteworthy history. One case that emphasized the importance of having checks and balances on such restraints is Lochner v. New York. While not relating to the practice of medicine and non-compete provisions, Lochner is nonetheless an important case to the analysis of non-compete provisions in physician employment contracts. Lochner is necessary to the discussion of non-competes because it emphasizes how the history of restrictions on restraints on trade have changed so that now private parties, and not just the government, are allowed to implement restrictions. Additionally, these restrictions vary depending on the profession and where professionals practice.
Non-compete provisions are found in contracts created by both small private medical practices, as well as bigger entities, such as hospitals and managed care organizations. Therefore, this is not an issue limited to the size of the practice. The physician-patient relationship has gradually become more and more of an impersonal one due to managed care organizations and legislation such as the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This does not, however, mean that physicians and patients approve of this interference and push towards an impersonal relationship. Thus, if patients are unhappy with the resulting impersonal relationship from managed care plans and legislation, patients may suffer further from these non-compete clauses interfering with the patients' utilization of physician services.
These clauses hurt not only the physicians trying to practice, but also have the capacity to conflict with patient choice in regard to selecting the physician they want for treatment purposes. More importantly, such non-competes negatively interfere with the continuity of patient care. It is for these aforementioned reasons that it would behoove the American Medical Association (AMA) to model its non-compete guidelines after those found in the American Bar Association (ABA), which strictly limit the use of such non-compete provisions in attorney employment contracts.

Full textLimitation and exclusion clauses constitute a very common practice in many areas. Although they are more often used in the contractual field, these agreements can also change tort liability of a potential tortfeasor who would already know the potential victim, as a neighbour or a consortium member. Nowadays, despite their utility and practical frequency, these stipulations suffer from an uncertain regime, that gives rise to questions, as much in contractual field as in tort field. Firstly, to know whether an exclusion clause can be invoked by the responsible, we need to verify its validity. Yet, both laws in different fields (transport law, consumer law …) and case law (especially the famous Chronopost case) have affected the classic rules of validity of these stipulations. There is therefore a need to establish new guidelines to clarify this important question. Secondly, it is not certain that the exclusion clause, however valid, will apply. The effectiveness of these provisions is also of great importance. Nevertheless, the rules governing the paralysis in case of gross fault from the responsible and those who regulate the enforceability of clauses to third parties, victims of a damage caused by a breach of contract, should be renovated to sweep away the uncertainties that confuse the subject. At a time when French civil liability law is about to be reformed, this study proposes a new regime for exclusion and limitation clauses in order to restore their true function of foreseeability for parties

Full textThe non-competition clause is governed by two sets of legal rules: contractual rules and competition rules. The duality of the general regime of the non-competition clause occurs in the context of fundamental notions of private Law such as the notion of cause, good faith, loyalty and invalidity. The intersection of the two regimes within the non-competition clause constitutes its singularity. While competition rules follow an economic logic, contractual rules affects the conditions of contract formation and the sanctions that apply whenever such conditions are not met. These conditions are subject to a continuous development in the different types of contracts where the non-competition clause is inserted. This is the case for example in distribution contracts, labor contracts, business transfers, electronic contracts and franchise contracts. The present study aims to establish a systematization of the general regime of the no-competition clause. This study will show that such a regime is mainly a contractual regime, composed of the rules of contract Law that borrows the rules of competition law in order to fill the gaps of contracts law

Full textThe function of international economic law is to regulate international economic flows. The latter stems from the long-standing will of nations to establish, in the global economy, a set of rules capable of structuring their relations. As a result of the latter, trade, investment and capital movements were gradually becoming facts, economic realities captured in legalqualifications. However, one of the major difficulties, which fuels these controversies, lies in the relationship of international economic law with other branches of law, which are also called upon to structure the market legally. In the implementation of its norms, international economic law is indeed called upon to come into contact with many branches of law. However, it is remarkable that, overall, they do not play a comparable role. While some sets of rules appear essential to ensure the functioning of a globalised economy, others maintain more relaxed relations. For the purposes of our research, it is therefore necessary to identify the nature of the links that exist between labour law and international economic law. While the connection of these two branches has led to the development of social clauses, it has not, at present, led to any real change in international economic law. Failing this, some of the irreducible characteristics of labour law continue to limit the fertility of their relationships. For all that, the existence of this connection makes it possible to envisage, for the future, a deepening of relations between these two branches by hitherto unexploited ways. Far from being a pipe dream, the emergence of new synergies between international law and labour law seems conceivable in the light of the legal reception of the concept of sustainable development. A profound change in the relationship between these two branches of law is already apparent and could continue. The explanation of the decisive influence of the concept can be sought in its positioning with regard to transnational economic activities. The latter projects itself on the repercussions and not only on the development of the economy. In doing so, sustainable development presents itself as an alternative way to think and evaluate growth.With regard to the contribution of international economic law to the application of labour law, this change of perspective is decisive. It leads us to see the former as a tool for disseminating the latter. This relationship can be deduced from the interdependence of the pillars that underpin the concept of sustainable development. The interweaving of the social andeconomic pillar calls for economic growth to be considered only on condition that it can, among other things, satisfy social sustainability implying respect for labour law. The existence of this synergy is also indicated by the adoption, in the name of sustainable development, of new social clauses.Sustainable development also augurs well for the evolution towards greater consideration of labour law in view of another of its particularities, its position in the legal field. Indeed, it emerges from the proposals of the doctrine as much as from interpretations coming from international contentious bodies that sustainable development is likely to ensure a role ofconceptual matrix. As such, it is capable and could in the future lead to interpret international economic law by also taking into account the respect of labour law precisely with regard to it contribution to the search for sustainability

Doctoral thesis, Stockholm University, Centre for Research on Bilingualism, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-7457.
Full textThis thesis investigates the use of word order variation, in particular the variable use of subject-verb inversion and non-inversion in main declarative clauses, among adolescents in contemporary multilingual settings in Sweden. The use of non-inversion in contexts that in standard Swedish require inversion is sometimes claimed to be characteristic of varieties of Swedish spoken among adolescents in multilingual urban areas. The present study includes a wide range of data, both spontaneous and elicited, and explores how common the use of non-inversion is among a relatively large group of participants in different contexts, and how the use of non-inversion is influenced by different demographic, linguistic and socio-pragmatic factors.
The results show that non-inversions are used to a limited extent in all types of data in the studied population. Only certain individuals frequently employ non-inversions in some contexts. Further, no direct link is found between second language acquisition and the use of non-inversion in this study. Factors related to the issue of nativeness, for example participants’ reported age of onset of Swedish acquisition, only marginally explain the results. In general, examples of non-inversion are employed more extensively, and by more participants, in peer-peer interaction than with adults. The use of non-inversion appears to be part of some adolescents’ spontaneous language use in certain contexts. More importantly, however, the results suggest that some adolescents employ non-inversions as an active linguistic resource to express their identification with the multilingual environment and the different varieties of Swedish spoken there, to show solidarity with peers, to contest official school discourses, and to play around with linguistic stereotypes.

To define carefully the concept of prohibition of competition, this study aims first to identify the elements of the qualification of non-compete obligation, before experiencing their implementation. The first part identifies the characteristic elements of the non-compete obligation, qualifying dependent mainly on its object. The second part differs, or otherwise treats the obligation of non- competition with other contractual stipulations. It also allows you to discover that the non-compete obligation maintains doubtful relationship with some of these stipulations. If their purpose is formally different from the non-competition, the effect of some of these provisions may lead judges to reclassify them in non-compete obligation
