Full textThis project aims to describe and analyze aspect morphology in the Amazonian indigenous language Dâw (approx. 100 speakers, belonging to Nadahup family, formerly known as Makú) in relation to the description found in the only available grammar on the language, Gramática e Fonologia Dâw, published by Silvana Martins in 2004. In that work, the author describes 15 post-verbal morphemes which she calls aspect markers assigning distinct aspectual functions to each of them. In this paper, we tested that assertion, questioning and eventually reanalyzing the alleged aspectual morpheme, in order to verify whether the description provided by that author is correct. The new data confirmed Martins analysis only partially, revealing in most cases that the morphemes play roles that diverge quite significantly from the authors description. In this paper we propose a new classification for these morphemes, based on the data collected during a field work in July 2015 with native Dâw speakers in São Gabriel da Cachoeira, in the northwestern Brazilian Amazon. The new field work samples and an in-depth analysis of other source materials revealed that some morphemes have become obsolete, others have no discernible aspectual value, and others are port-manteau time-aspect-modal morphemes. Some display features such as quantification of verbal arguments (as we shall see, quantifications is intertwined with aspect) or play adverbial roles. The morphemes with aspectual value were shown to behave differently depending on verbal classes, such as the perfective morpheme, which with active verbs has a perfective function, indicating action completed in the past, but with stative verbs it indicates perfect aspect, i.e., current state caused by transformation in the past. A comparison with the aspectual systems of other Upper Rio Negro languages as well as with other typologically similar languages worldwise is also provided.

Full textThis thesis in Linguistics is part of a study of historical verbal morphology and examines the evolution of alternation of verbal stems in the French present tense. The overall framework is that of a linguistic study combining a description of the French verbal system and the history of representations of French language, in a long diachrony context, as certain changes are very old, and others are the result of the medieval period, while some others date from the modern period.We described the functioning of verbal paradigms in synchrony and diachrony, while defining the fundamental concepts used. We thus redefinied the notion of ‘regular verb’ and ‘irregular verb’ from a historical point of view. The alternation of verbal stems and the phonological variation of the verbal stem have been distinguished. We analysed the concept of analogy, a fundamental alignment mechanism in the evolution of the verbal system, that can play a role within a paradigm or a set of paradigms of the same verb, in particular with the extension of one of the verbal stems to the detriment of the other, such as the aim stem - in all the tenses and in P4/P5 of the present tense of the verb aimer (to love), Old French amer. Moreover, in the 16th and 17th centuries, when there was still a lot of hesitation, grammarians and Remarqueurs played a role as descriptors and prescriptors of the language, rôle that we have tried to define.To carry out this study, we compiled a corpus of 27 verbs representing several types of verbal alternation, such as treuve/trouvons (to find) and aime/amons (to love), which yielded 312,250 raw occurrences in context in the Frantext corpus, from Old French to 1799. The verbs were grouped according to their initial alternation for a systematic study of frequencies and other parameters, in order to understand why verbs with identical alternations in Old French did not have the same outcome in modern French. We also tried to determine the factors favouring the maintenance of the verbal alternation or, on the contrary, the factors favouring the extension of one of the two verbal stems in the present tense.Finally, we observed several parameters may have played a part in the transformations and standardisation of verbal paradigms in the present tense: the frequency of use of a form, verbal stem or paradigm, whether a verb belongs to a morphological family, the intra and interparadigmatic analogy, and linguistic prescription in the 16th and 17th centuries. A hierarchy of criteria has been proposed

Full textThis work proposes an analysis of the verbal morphology of Lembaama (B62) according to Guthrie (1971). Officially called Obamba in Gabon, Lembaama is a Bantu language of the forest, from the Benue-Congo group and Niger-Congo phylum. As far as we know, this language has yet to receive a detailed study. It should be noted that Lembaama shows some interesting features. Indeed, the verbal morphology analysis shows that a single inflected verb contains the following elements: subject, subject marker, negative1, Tense marker, root, extension, Final Vowel or Aspect marker, negative2 occurring in a fix order in a sentence. The object marker comes after the root. Negation consists of a discontinuous morpheme: kaní. Ka- is placed before the root (by the left) and -ní occurs after the root (by the right) being the last element of this structure. The verbal derivation study reveals the following structure of Lembaama extensions: -C-, -CV-, -VC- and -CVC-.The habitual marker -ag- being the commonest extension. This study also highlights the existence of a correlation between the grammatical value and the semantic value of extensions. Hence, human and animate beings are evoked in clauses with higher transitivity than things. Therefore, transitivity is fundamental in Lembaama, as it can distinguish actions from states, for example. Tense, Aspect and Mood study defines three Tenses. First, there is a present that, because it is used without tense marker, can be merged with near future or with progressive. Then, we note two future tenses: a near future (F1) occurring without mark and a distant future (F2) marked by the auxiliary verb odze go. Finally, we count three past tenses: a recent (P1) marked by mí- with a high tone; a distant (P2) marked by máá- with a high tone too, and a remote past (P3) marked by kí be, an auxiliary verb with high tone and mí-, the recent past marker, both coming before the root (by the left). Thus, Tense marker morphemes are always placed before the root (by the left) and Aspect markers occur after the root (by the right). This analysis highlighted two Aspects: a perfective marked by the Final Vowel -í; an imperfective without a specific mark. Tense and Aspect analysis allows to conclude that Aspect is more fundamental than Tense in this language. Concerning Mood, the analysis revealed three: imperative, conditional and indicative.

Full textMy thesis proposes an analysis of the Italian parasynthetic verbs in within the framework of the Construction Morphology. The widespread definition of parasynthesis in literature corresponds to 'double simultaneous affixation on a derivational base' ([pref+[X]N/A+suff]V, cf. for example IMBARCARE 'to board'). Such definition is motivated by the impossibility of attesting the intermediate derivational stage between the base and the derived verb (cf. BARCA 'boat', *IMBARCA, *BARCARE) and it derives from a morpheme-based, incremental and concatenative approach to morphology that assumes that derivational processes are oriented rules. In my thesis I propose an alternative analysis which defines parasynthetic verbs as verbs built by prefixation. I consider as parasynthetic verb each verb belonging to the schema [préf[X]N/A]V (note that the suffix is analyzed as inflectional). This definition is purely based on the membership parameter in schema [préf[X]N/A]V (note that the suffix is analyzed as inflectional). According to this approach, the fact that a word is not attested not only represents an unreliable criterion from an empirical point of view but it also seems to be negligible within a theoretical framework considering morphological processes as non-oriented. The corpus includes 1674 lexemes automatically extracted from ItWaC. The structural variables for these verbs are (i) the prefix selected (a-, in-, s-, de-, dis-), (ii) the inflectional class (-are, -ire), (iii) the category of the base (N, A). Each lexeme is defined as a construction, i.e. a form-meaning pair (the form corresponding to a possible combination of variables and the meaning to a holistic sense). The possible semantic values are: (i) the change of state, (ii) the change of locative relation and (iii) the intensive/iterative value. For (i) and (ii) I propose a unified analysis in terms of a general semantic component expressing a change (formalized by the predicate BECOME), while the class of verbs expressing the value (iii) are not included in this generalization
La mia tesi propone un’analisi des verbi parasintetici dell’italiano nel quadro teorico della Construction Morphology. La definizione di parasintesi diffusa in letteratura corrisponde a ‘doppia affissazione simultanea su una base di derivazione’ ([préf+[X]N/A+suff]V, cf. ad esempio IMBARCARE). Questa particolarità è motivata dall’impossibilità di attestare la ‘tappa intermedia’ di derivazione tra la base e il verbo costruito (cf. BARCA, *IMBARCA, *BARCARE). Questa definizione è dovuta ad un’analisi morfemica, incrementale e concatenativa e presuppone che i processi derivazionali siano concepiti come regole orientate. Nell’analisi proposta, al contrario, sono definiti come parasintetici tutti i verbi costruiti tramite prefissazione. Questa definizione si basa esclusivamente sul parametro di appartenenza allo schema [pref[X]N/A]V (il suffisso è di tipo flessivo). Secondo la prospettiva adottata, la mancata attestazione di una forma è un parametro che risulta, oltre che insufficientemente affidabile da un punto di vista empirico, persino irrilevante dal punto di vista di una teoria basata sull’idea che i processi siano non orientati. Il corpus utilizzato contiene 1674 lessemi estratti automaticamente da ItWaC. Le variabili strutturali dei verbi in questione corrispondono (i) al prefisso selezionato (a-, in-, s-, de-, dis-), (ii) alla classe flessiva (-are, -ire), (iii) alla categoria della base (N, A). Ogni lessema, definito come costruzione, è l’associazione tra una forma (il risultato della combinazione delle variabili) e di un valore semantico olistico. I valori semantici identificati sono : (i) cambiamento di stato, (ii) cambiamento di relazione locativa e (iii) valore intensivo/iterativo. Per i primi due valori è stata proposta un’analisi unificata all’interno di un’unica componente semantica che esprime il cambiamento (formalizzata con il predicato BECOME), mentre la classe di verbi che esprimono il valore (iii) rimane esclusa da questa generalizzazione

This study has as objective to investigate the children's sensitivity to the inflectional morphemes of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) in children between 3, 4 and 5 years old, it has taken as fundamental to the acquisition of verbal morphology of this language. Studies about this topic, already realized with children were based mainly on the production of data, which demonstrated that children produce, already very early, inflectional verbal morphemes in their language. These production data follow a pattern in which it reveals the presence of irregular verb forms with regular forms in the early stages of the process. In the second moment, around 3-4 years old, decays the presence of irregular shapes, appearing irregular verbs used as regular phenomenon known as over regularization. In the final stage, there is the return to the initial default. Our study is to investigate, from the data of understanding, if the child, in the stage that produces over regularization forms, would be sensible to the presence, in the input, to irregular verb in the over regularization form. It is assumed as a hypothesis the idea that children in the age between 3 and 5 years, even thy produce phases in the over regularization forms, they are able to identify the ungrammaticality in the these verbs in the sentence produced by someone else. For this, it was mounted a grammaticality judgment the experiment in which controlled , beyond the age of the participants , the type of verb (regular, irregular and over regularization) and invented verbs, it was divided into three lists of 30 stimuli and each one with 4 conditions . For the conditions 3 and 4, the sentences are repeated in the three lists. Thus, we have for the tree lists a total of 54 stimulus.The results support the hypothesis allow assumed here, showing a sensitivity to the grammaticality of the child's verbal forms present in the input.
Este trabalho investiga a sensibilidade infantil aos morfemas flexionais do português brasileiro (PB) em crianças com 3, 4 e 5 anos de idades, tomada como fundamental para a aquisição da morfologia verbal dessa língua. Os estudos sobre esse tópico, já realizados com crianças, basearam-se notadamente em dados de produção, os quais demonstraram que elas produzem, já desde muito cedo, morfemas flexionais verbais em sua língua. Tais dados de produção seguem um padrão no qual se revela a presença de formas verbais irregulares juntamente com formas regulares, nas etapas iniciais do processo. Num segundo momento, por volta dos 3-4 anos de idade, decai a presença de formas irregulares, surgindo verbos irregulares usados como regulares, fenômeno conhecido como superregularização. Na etapa final, observa-se o retorno ao padrão inicial. Nosso estudo vem investigar, a partir de dados de compreensão, se a criança, na fase em que produz formas superregularizadas, seria sensível à presença, no input, de formas verbais irregulares superregularizadas. Assume-se como hipótese a ideia de que crianças com idade entre 3 e 5 anos, mesmo na fase de produção das formas superregularizadas, são capazes de identificar a agramaticalidade desses verbos em sentenças produzidas por outras pessoas. Para isso, foi elaborado um experimento de julgamento de gramaticalidade no qual se controlou, além da faixa etária dos sujeitos, o tipo de verbo (regulares, irregulares e superregularizados) e verbos inventados, distribuídos em três listas com 30 estímulos e 4 condições cada uma, sendo que as sentenças da condição 3 ( verbos inventados) e da condição 4 ( verbo regular) se repetem nas três listas, somando assim, um total de 54 estímulos nas três listas. Os resultados permitem sustentar a hipótese aqui assumida, evidenciando uma sensibilidade da criança à gramaticalidade das formas verbais presentes no input.

O foco desta pesquisa é o processamento da morfologia verbal por falantes de inglês como L1 e L2. A literatura teórica e empírica sobre o processamento da morfologia verbal do inglês apresenta diferentes propostas para o processamento e representação dos verbos regulares e irregulares em inglês. Os modelos de via dual argumentam que existem dois mecanismos mentais distintos para a representação e processamento da morfologia verbal. Um dos mecanismos é um sistema computacional baseado em regras e utilizado no processamento dos verbos regulares e, o outro mecanismo, é um sistema computacional baseado na memória e utilizado no armazenamento de verbos irregulares (Ullman, Corkin, Coppola, Hickok, Growdon, Koroshetz & Pinker, 1997; Pinker, 1999; Van der Lely & Ullman, 2001; Pinker & Ullman, 2002; Ullman, 2004; Ullman, 2005). Em contraste, o modelo conexionista de via simples propõe que ambas, as regras e as palavras, são representadas em um único sistema computacional, e que todas as formas (regulares ou irregulares) são representadas em uma memória associativa distribuída (Rumelhart & McClelland, 1986; Plunket & Marchman, 1993; Joanisse & Seidenberg, 1999; McCelland & Patterson, 2002; Joanisse & Seidenberg, 2005; Woollams, Joanisse & Patterson, 2009). Uma terceira explicação para o processamento da morfologia verbal do inglês é proposta pelo modelo de decomposição completa (Stockall e Marantz, 2006), o qual sugere que tanto os verbos regulares quanto os irregulares são decompostos. Este modelo também depende de um único sistema para processar a morfologia verbal, mas a explicação de que todas as formas verbais (regulares e irregulares) são decompostas por regras morfológicas se opõe aos modelos de via dupla e via simples. A partir do contexto de processamento da morfologia verbal, os objetivos que motivaram este estudo são: (a) investigar a influência dos efeitos de frequência e da proficiência no processamento da morfologia verbal do inglês como L1 e L2, e (b) investigar o papel do controle inibitório e da capacidade de memória de trabalho no processamento da morfologia verbal do inglês. Para alcançar esses objetivos, os dados comportamentais foram coletados de um total de 72 participantes, que foram divididos em três grupos de proficiência, que são: (1) O grupo experimental 1, formado por 26 falantes nativos de português brasileiro com alta proficiência em inglês como L2; (2) O grupo experimental 2, composto por 26 falantes nativos de português brasileiro com baixa proficiência em inglês como L2; e (3) o grupo controle, formado por 20 falantes nativos de inglês americano. Os participantes pré-selecionados para os grupos experimentais realizaram um teste de proficiência em inglês. Todos os participantes selecionados realizaram três tarefas: (1) a Frequency Effects Task, que é uma tarefa de produção do passado de verbos em inglês; (2) a Simon Arrow Task, que foi utilizada para avaliar o controle inibitório dos participantes; e (3) a Letter-Number Ordering Task, que foi utilizada para avaliar a capacidade de memória de trabalho dos participantes. Os resultados mostraram que o controle inibitório e a capacidade de memória de trabalho não afetaram o processamento do passado de verbos em inglês. Além disso, os resultados mostraram que os falantes de inglês como L1 e L2 se comportaram de maneira diferente ao processar os verbos regulares e que isto ocorreu provavelmente devido a diferenças de proficiência na língua inglesa. No entanto, todos os participantes, independentemente do seu grupo de proficiência, decompuseram os verbos irregulares, o que é previsto somente pelo modelo de decomposição completa. O modelo de decomposição completa oferece a explicação mais adequada para os resultados encontrados no presente estudo.
Abstract : The focus of this study is the processing of regular and irregular verbal morphology by L1 and L2 speakers of English. The theoretical and empirical literature on the processing of English verbal morphology presents different accounts for the processing and representation of regular and irregular English verbs. The dual-mechanism account argues that there are two distinct mental mechanisms for the representation and processing of verbal morphology. One is a rule-based computational system for the processing of regular verbs, and the other is a memory-based computational system for the storage of irregular verbs (Ullman, Corkin, Coppola, Hickok, Growdon, Koroshetz & Pinker, 1997; Pinker, 1999; Van der Lely & Ullman, 2001; Pinker & Ullman, 2002; Ullman, 2004; Ullman, 2005). In contrast, the connectionist single-mechanism account proposes that both rules and words are represented in a single computational system, and all forms (regular and irregular) are represented in a distributed associative memory (Rumelhart & McClelland, 1986; Plunket & Marchman, 1993; Joanisse & Seidenberg, 1999; McCelland & Patterson, 2002; Joanisse & Seidenberg, 2005; Woollams, Joanisse & Patterson, 2009). A third account for the processing of English verbal morphology is proposed by the full decomposition model of morphological complexity (Stockall and Marantz, 2006), which suggests that both regular and irregular inflectional forms are decomposed. This model also relies in a single system to process verbal morphology. However, the prediction that all verbal forms (regular and irregular) are decomposed by morphological rules challenges both the dual-mechanism and the connectionist single-mechanism views. In the context of verbal morphology processing, the objectives of the present study are: (a) to investigate the influence of frequency effects and proficiency on the processing of regular and irregular verbal morphology in English as L1 and L2, and (b) to investigate the role of inhibitory control and working memory capacity on the processing of English verbal morphology. In order to achieve these objectives, behavioral data were collected from a total of 72 participants, which were divided into three proficiency groups: (1) experimental group 1 consisted of 26 native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese with a high proficiency level in English as L2; (2) experimental group 2 consisted of 26 native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese with a low proficiency level in English as L2; (3) group 3 consisted of a control group of 20 native speakers of American English. The participants pre-selected for both experimental groups were required to take a proficiency test in English. All selected participants performed three tasks: (1) the Frequency Effects Task, which is a past tense production task designed to investigate English verbal morphology; (2) the Simon Arrow Task, which was used to assess participants' inhibitory control function; and (3) the Letter-Number Ordering Task, which was used to assess participants' working memory capacity. The results showed that participants' inhibitory control function and working memory capacity did not affect the processing of English verbal morphology. In addition, the results showed that the speakers of English as L1 and L2 behaved differently when processing regular verbs, most likely due to proficiency differences in the English language. However, all participants, regardless of their proficiency group, decomposed irregular verbs. Irregular forms decomposition is predicted only by the full decomposition model. Therefore, the full decomposition model of morphological complexity offers the strongest account for the results found in the present study.

Full textConsiderando discussões recentes no campo da neurolingüística este trabalho se propõe a investigar a morfologia verbal, sentenças não-canônicas e encaixadas na produção de informantes afásicos falantes de português. O trabalho investiga o quanto hipóteses sobre a produção agramática são eficazes na descrição de dados obtidos no português brasileiro e busca dissociações pertinentes a modelos lingüísticos. Foram realizados duas avaliações de desempenho lingüístico com de um total quatro afásicos não-fluentes com lesões cerebrais na área de Broca e adjacências. Uma das avaliações destina-se a investigar a morfologia flexional e a dissociação entre Concordância e Tempo, que desde o trabalho de Friedmann & Grodzinsky (1997) vem provocando discussões no campo. Este teste foi realizado por meio de tarefa de preenchimento de lacunas. O segundo teste visa a investigar a produção de sentenças encaixadas, inergativas, intransitivas e passivas numa tarefa de repetição. Em ambos os experimentos, os resultados foram, em boa medida, diferentes dos esperados. Por um lado, dissociações comumente reportadas na literatura não foram encontradas e, por outro, dissociações não esperadas foram encontradas. A partir destes dados, são feitas considerações acerca de possíveis explicações sobre o déficit de informantes não-fluentes e sobre a metodologia dos estudos da área, ressaltando-se o cuidado necessário no trato com grupos formados através de critérios pouco precisos
This work investigates verbal morphology, non-canonical and embedded sentences on the production of Brocas aphasics. The goals were to evaluate some hypothesis about agrammatic production and to search for aspects of aphasic behavior that could be useful for linguistic theories. We carried out two tests with a whole of four individuals who suffered lesions on the left cortex, at (or potentially affecting) Brocas area. The first test investigates the dissociation between Agreement and Tense originally reported by Friedmann & Grodzinsky (1997). For this purpose we have conducted a filler-gap task with forced choice. The second test consisted of a repetition task involving unergatives, unaccusatives, passives and embedded sentences. Our results showed that some reported dissociations could not be replicated by our study, while other unexpected ones were brought up. Considering this data, we draw some conclusions about some hypotheses about aphasic behavior and also propose some cautions to be taken concerning research methodology in neurolinguistics

Full textThis thesis analyzes the verbal inflection of five Saami languages (Finno-Ugric family) in a diasystemic modelization, working within the framework of Complex Systems Theory. It deals with both inflectional complexity, aiming to untangle and model the intricacy of paradigmatic allomorphy in Saami, and dialectal complexity, by comparing the inflectional systems of five languages organized in a dialect continuum, in order to highlight the mechanisms of differentiation and interactive flows within the diasystem.The morphological analysis uses Paradigm Function Morphology, a realizational approach to paradigmatic complexity developed by G. Stump. This framework gives me the tools needed to model the great number of stem alternations that makes Saami inflection renowned for its extreme complexity. From the paradigm analysis, I work to build a taxonomy of Saami verbs, in the form of inflectional classes, in each of the studied languages (South, Lule, North, Inari and Skolt Saami), and a detailed inventory of inflection mechanisms. Based on these comparable models, I then develop a diasystemic analysis of Saami verbal morphology by modeling the processes of intrication, self-organization and emergence happening in the system. The resulting configuration, reinforced by a dialectometric study, is that of a system with two major decision centers, western and eastern, and in the center a transitional zone of compromise where phonological and morphological complexification phenomena arise

Full textThis thesis is in the field of research on the acquisition of temporality. It aims at studying the acquisition and the expression of French temporality by the persanophones learning. The major goal is to identify and describe the average linguistics to transmit temporal information by our surveyed subjects. Our research concentrates particularly on the means of reference to the « past ». Two aspects characterize the temporality description: the reference to verbal morphology on the one hand and the recourse to the pragmatic means (the lexicon, adverbs temporal, the principle of telling the events in the order of their occurrence) on the other hand. Verbal morphology and its development are in the centre of the data analyses collected. The verbal forms are examined in the formal and functional prospect, all while being based on a functionalist method. The fieldwork has been conducted near three Iranian learning French who resides in France.! It is a question of a longitudinal corpus (oral and writing) in order to raise the traces of the progressive development in the acquisition of temporality. We wonder in particular about the stages of morphological development in the description of temporality. The results of the analyses support not only the comparative study of three learning, but also their confrontation with learning from other research undertaken in various source and target languages. The main aim is to clarify the permanent phenomena in the acquisition of temporality in L2

Abstract : The focus of this study is on the role of the first language (L1) typology and second language (L2) proficiency in the processing of regular past tense verbs in L2 Brazilian Portuguese (BP) and L2 English. The linguistic processing of intermediate and advanced L2 learners from typologically different L1 and L2 was assessed. Specifically, the verb morphological processing of L2 learners of BP (L1 speakers of English) and L2 learners of English (L1 speakers of BP) at intermediate and advanced proficiency levels in the L2 was compared by means of the eye-movement method. The predictions of two theories in the Second Language Acquisition literature the Unified Competition Model (MacWhinney, 2005) and the Associative-Cognitive CREED (Ellis, 2006a) were considered in order to explain the persistent problems of L2 learners with verbal inflection. Data were collected from a total of 16 participants 4 advanced L2 learners of English, 4 intermediate L2 learners of English, 5 advanced L2 learners of BP and 3 intermediate L2 learners of BP. Participants were divided into two groups: (a) L2BP (L2 learners of BP) and (b) L2EN (L2 learners of English). The following materials were employed in this study: (a) a linguistic background questionnaire; (b) a proficiency assessment test based on the CELPE-Bras writing section for the L2 learners of BP; (c) a proficiency assessment test based on the TOEFL iBT writing section for the L2 learners of English; (d) a Sentence Comprehension Task in BP; (e) a Sentence Comprehension Task in English. The Sentence Comprehension Tasks consisted of grammatical sentences in which the target words were regular past tense verbs in BP and in English. The two groups of bilinguals were asked to perform the Sentence Comprehension Task in both their L1 and L2. Results show that there was no significant difference in language processing between the L2BP group and the L2EN group, which means that the cross-linguistic differences between L2 learners L1 and L2 (i.e., L2 learners L1 typology) did not affect the processing of L2 verbal inflection between the groups. However, the L1 typology might have had an effect on L2 morphological processing of the L2BP group. This influence may be attributed to the fact that English lacks morphosyntactic features existent in BP, resulting in extra processing cost in the Sentence Comprehension Task in BP. As regards the role of proficiency, results indicate that there was no statistically significant correlation between proficiency and the eye-tracking measures for either of the groups. Particularly, the results of the present study demonstrate that L2 learners can process their target language almost indistinguishably from native speakers regardless of their proficiency level and L1 background. Nonetheless, the L2 learners of BP processed their L2 in qualitatively different ways than they processed their L1, indicating that the morphosyntactic differences between BP and English may have played a role in the L2 processing of English-speaking learners of a Romance Language.
O foco desta pesquisa está no papel da tipologia da primeira língua (L1) e da proficiência da segunda língua (L2) no processamento de verbos regulares no passado em português brasileiro (PB) e inglês como L2. O processamento linguístico de aprendizes de L2 com diferentes níveis de proficiência, cujas L1 e L2 são tipologicamente diferentes, foi avaliado. Especificamente, o processamento da morfologia verbal em L2 de aprendizes com níveis intermediário e avançado em PB (falantes nativos de inglês) e em inglês (falantes nativos de português) foi comparado através do método de rastreamento ocular. As predições de duas teorias existentes na literatura de Aquisição de Segunda Língua o Modelo Unificado de Competição (MacWhinney, 2005) e a Teoria Associativa-Cognitiva CREED (Ellis, 2006a) foram consideradas para explicar os problemas persistentes de aprendizes de L2 com a flexão verbal. Dados foram coletados de um total de 16 participantes 4 aprendizes avançados de inglês-L2, 4 aprendizes intermediários de inglês-L2, 5 aprendizes avançados de PB-L2 e 3 aprendizes intermediários de PB-L2. Os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos: (a) L2BP (aprendizes PB-L2) e (b) L2EN (aprendizes de inglês-L2). Os seguintes materiais foram utilizados neste estudo: (a) um questionário sobre o perfil linguístico dos participantes; (b) uma avaliação de proficiência baseada na seção de escrita do CELPE-Bras para os aprendizes de PB-L2; (c) uma avaliação de proficiência baseada na seção de escrita do TOEFL iBT para os aprendizes de inglês-L2; (d) uma tarefa de compreensão de sentenças em PB; (e) uma tarefa de compreensão de sentenças em inglês. As tarefas de compreensão de sentença consistiam de frases gramaticais em que as palavras-alvo eram verbos regulares no passado em PB e em inglês. Os dois grupos de bilíngues executaram a tarefa de compreensão de sentenças em sua língua nativa e em sua L2. Os resultados desta pesquisa demonstram que não houve diferença significativa no processamento das sentenças entre o grupo de L2BP e o grupo de L2EN, o que significa que as diferenças translinguísticas entre a L1 e a L2 dos participantes não tiveram efeito sobre o processamento da flexão verbal em L2 entre os grupos. Todavia, a tipologia da L1 pode ter tido um efeito sobre processamento morfológico do grupo L2BP. Essa influência pode ser atribuída ao fato de que o inglês carece de recursos morfossintáticos existentes no PB, resultando em custo extra de processamento na tarefa de compreensão de sentenças em PB. Quanto ao papel da proficiência, os resultados indicam que não houve correlação estatisticamente significativa entre proficiência e as medidas do rastreador ocular para nenhum dos grupos. Particulamente, os resultados do presente estudo demonstram que os aprendizes de L2 podem processar sua língua-alvo quase indistintamente de falantes nativos, independentemente do seu nível de proficiência e L1. No entanto, os aprendizes de PB-L2 processaram a sua L2 de forma qualitativamente diferente da forma em que eles processaram a sua L1, o que demonstra que as diferenças morfossintáticas entre o PB e o inglês podem ter exercido um efeito sobre o processamento de L2 de falantes nativos de inglês cuja L2 é uma língua românica.

Full textThe focus on this paper is to show the values of the tenses and the modality morphemes in the Balanta language. The Balanta is a language spoken between Casamance, South of Senegal, and Geba River, north of Guinea-Bissau. The Balanta is an Atlantic language of the Niger-Congo branch, of which Fufulde, Wolof, Diola, Serer, Temne are among the most spoken. The Balanta is located in the north branch, in the group called Bak, togheter with Diola, Mandyak, Mankanya and Papel. The verbal paradigm of Balanta presents the following tenses and modality morphemes: {-Æ} present, remote past, future, change of stage, deictic, conclusive, inconclusive, the last four morphemes are used to express the attitude of the speaker in relation to the propositional content or in relation to the truth of the statement, or in relation to the listener. The morpheme {-Æ} present, in accordance with the verbal paradigm and the kind of verb, present values such as present and past in the perfective, present or future in the imperfective; the modality morphemes, in accordance with the verbal paradigm and the kind of verb, present values such as change of stage and interruption action, closing action in the time and certitude, no action closing and incertitude

Full textIntroduction: Little is known about the morphological aspects of language, which represents a gap in the brain-mind relationship scenario. The scarce studies were produced in Anglo-Saxon languages, with different characteristics from the Brazilian Portuguese. Studies on morphological aspects in subjects with neurological disorders have shown worst performance related to language tasks. A few studies indicate that the inflexion of regular and irregular verbs may be associated with different mechanisms and cerebral processes. The research about healthy Brazilian Portuguese speakers\' behavior may collaborate as reference for future studies with subjects with language disorders. Purpose: to verify the morphological production in the Portuguese language in healthy subjects through a verb and pseudoverb inflexion test. Methods: the sample was composed by cognitively healthy individuals with ages ranging between 40 to 80 years old. The years of formal education were considered as the educational level; the Group 1 (G1) between 0 to 7 years of study and the Group 2 (G2) above 8 years of study. The test consisted of 213 target-phrases with different verbal tenses. The sentences were built with real verbs and pseudoverbs. A program was designed to play the target-phrases in audio and the subjects had to complete the given sentence. Results: the subjects\' answers were transcribed and analyzed by their performance on the test and also through the type of answer presented to each stimulus. Subjects were then compared by their performance and educational level. For the real irregular verbs it was observed a worse performance by G1 than G2, with a marked statistical significance. For the pseudoverbs it was observed a statistical significance in all verb inflexions, with worse performance by G1. Qualitative analysis of the responses revealed a pseudoverb lexicalization effect, absence of answer and a more frequent phonological transformation for G1 answers. Conclusion: there is an education influence in the morphological production performance in cognitively healthy individuals. This study may contribute as a reference for future researches involving patients with language disorders in Brazil

Full textThe acquisition of French verbal morphology, with its highly complex inflectional system, often poses difficulties for non-native learners. This is particularly true for Sinophone learners, as the Chinese language is characterized by the absence of inflectional markers; that is, verbs are invariant and lack grammatical morphemes indicating number, person, mood, tense, or aspect.Even at an advanced level, Sinophone learners frequently make subject-verb agreement and conjugation errors. However, the deviant verb forms they produce exhibit certain regularities. This study aims to analyze the written and oral performances of Sinophone learners at two different levels using a semi-spontaneous written and oral production task (narrating a movie excerpt), in order to achieve three objectives: first, to describe and interpret the interlanguage of these Sinophone learners regarding the written and oral production of French verb forms; second, to analyze the factors influencing the acquisition of these forms; and finally, to propose remedial solutions

Full textThe doctoral thesis El segment velar en la flexió verbal de l’eivissenc. Anàlisi de la variació distribucional, geogràfica i generacional describes and analyses the velar affix occurrence in the verbal system of the Catalan dialect which is currently spoken on the island of Eivissa. The dissertation came into being with the aim of providing new data in two different fields: on the one hand, on the Ibizan dialect, specifically on its verbal morphology, which until now had neither been described or analysed in depth; and on the other, on the velar affix distribution in the Catalan verbal system, which has been, and still is, one of the most researched areas in the field of the Catalan inflectional morphology. Most of the former research on the Ibizan dialect, or studies that make reference to it, has been conducted based on the data collected by Alcover and Moll at the beginning of the 20th century (1929-1933). The first contribution of this thesis is that it has been completed using its own corpus, which contains data collected between the years 2008 and 2009. This corpus gathers the answers of 54 respondents (divided into three age ranges) from 6 different Ibizan towns, about the conjugation of 47 verbs of all three verbal types, and also, surveyed in a complementary manner, about 18 type 1 verbs. The thesis describes in detail the velar affix occurrence in this corpus and analyses it from three different points of view: morphologically, that is, determining which role the velar affix plays in the Catalan verbal system; from a distributional point of view, following Maiden’s morphomic patterns (2001, 2003); and finally, in a variational way, from both a geographical and generational point of view.

Full textWithin the Generative framework, it is a consensus that Brazilian Portuguese (BP) does not conform to the description of typical pro-drop languages (Figueiredo Silva 1996, Kato 1999, Kato and Negrão 2000, among others). Based on Hornsteins (2001) Movement Theory of Control, referential null subjects in BP have been analyzed as traces (deleted copies) of A-movement (Ferreira 2000, 2009, Rodrigues 2004) and therefore they show all the diagnoses of obligatory control (OC). This thesis aims to investigate the restrictions on the licensing and interpretation of null subjects in subjunctive clauses in BP. By examining the contrast on the licensing of null subjects in subjunctive complements of PB, we also dealt with pronominal obviation effects, typical from subjunctive complements of volitional predicates in BP (and many other Romance and Slavic languages). In this thesis, we will propose that Tense defectiveness is responsible to both obviation and lack of OC in certain Subjunctive clauses. This thesis discusses three distinct types of subjunctive complements, which are grouped as follows: the Free-Subjunctives and Adverb-Subjunctives, which allow OC null subjects, but do not impose obviation to an overt pronoun. They show syntactic independence with respect to the main clause and behave as indicatives in all relevant aspects. In contrast, the Restricted-Subjunctives show exactly the opposite pattern: this context is exclusively in not licensing OC in BP and triggers obviation effect. Additionally, Restricted-Subjunctives are dependent on the main clause and behave as infinitives in all the aspects tested here. Here I follow Hornsteins (2007, 2010) approach to Principle A and B. In his terms, pronouns and reflexives are by-products of grammatical operations and are semantically inert. Movement is more economical than pronominalization and so trumps the application of the latter where Move suffices for convergence. More generally, just as Merge is cheaper than Move, so Move (and Reflexivization, in the guise of Move) is cheaper than Construe (in the guise of Pronominalziation). In this perspective, obviation is a consequence of economy of derivations. We argue that BP facts provide empirical evidence that obviative subjunctives are underlying infinitives for they derivationally compete. In the Minimalist Program framework (Chomsky 1995, 2001, 2008), we propose that such complements do not have syntactic Tense feature and must agree with the matrix clause, which explains their temporal defectiveness, and their weak Phase behavior (Chomsky 2001, 2008). The unvalued embedded C-T in the relevant step of the derivation is not allowed to Case mark its subject, being a defective probe (Chomsky 2001), which allows the DP to move to the matrix clause for Case requirements. Thus, the movement alternative is the only convergent result starting from a numeration with a single DP for a subject and it surfaces as an infinitive. The same considerations hold for a derivation with two distinct DPs for subject positions, the only difference being that after getting valued by the matrix clause in the syntax component, the embedded C-T can value the Case of its subject, which leads to a nominative embedded subject and subjunctive morphology on the verb. The thesis discusses some advantages on adopting this analysis to obviation effects in Romance.

Full textThe empirical object of this dissertation is a subgroup of complex verbs of Brazilian Portuguese. The dataset is composed by synchronically and compositional formations containing the prefixes a-, eN- e eS- and the suffixes -ec-, -iz-, -e- e -ej- and originally complex formations which are dubious in relation to its synchronic complexity. The corpus contains 380 verbs selected from a dictionary and organized by frequency criteria. The general descriptive goal encompasses topics on properties and behavior of affixes, roots and theme vowels and the discussion is guided by the levels of morphological, morphophonological, argument and event structure. The general theoretical goal of this dissertation is to discuss Lexical Semantics, Lexical Syntax and Distributed Morphology proposals. As empirical results, the study offers a primary classification in terms of partially and totally transparent verbs. Partially transparent verbs are treated as resulting from a historical reanalysis process compared to the well known process of disappearance of preverbs. It is assumed that there is a continuum from forms which are: 1) completely fossilized; 2) reanalyzed as simple; 3) forms in process of change; 4) completely compositional and transparent. A secondary classification refers to compositional and noncompositional formations. Non-compositional data are structurally analyzed by means of a new reading on the literature on locality restriction on the interpretation of roots and the use of the notion of root polysemy. Completely compositional and transparent verbs are empirically classified into change of state, change of location, change of abstract and concrete possession, reconfiguration and verbs of modification of v. The strongest characteristic of this subclass is the obligatory presence of an internal argument interpreted as an affected object (theme or experiencer, to a less extent) of the change denoted by the event. The investigation points out that the prefix may be considered as the phonological realization of a head with a mixed lexical functional nature, which is responsible for introducing the internal argument in the structure and relating it to the root semantics. This head has at least the feature [+r] and, in a few cases, it may present directional information [+dir]. Considering this, the assumption that these prefixes are directional morphemes is debunked since this kind of information within a complex verb is residual and decayed. In general, prefixes behave as allomorphs and there are not strong evidences of an exclusive association of a prefix and a certain kind of argument structure or semantic class. The suffixes are analyzed as realizations of three functional heads: v[+voice], v[-voice] and v[+voice, -telic] and it is observed that suffix occurrence in event type is not systematic as previous literature claims. The theory of allomorphy proposed in Embick (2010), which is based on locality and linearity, was efficient in accounting for selection of allomorphs of R, v and Th heads. Finally, semantic type shows influence on verb type but this information can be viii manipulated in order to derive structural or metonymical coercion. The main conclusion to be drawn from the results is the fact that Brazilian Portuguese verbal morphology may reveal certain tendencies in argument and event structure, but it does not reflect sufficiently regular or consistent correlations.

Full textThe chief aim of this thesis is the study of verbal case in classical arabic. First, verb syntax is considered relatively to the properties of its case morphology. Second, case theory is extended as to be analysed as constraining head-complement relations regardless of the categoriel type of the complement (ap, vp, pp or np). Chomsky's (1992) "minimalist pragram" provides the conceptual framework of this study. The first two chapters analyse the morpholy of arabic and consider that consonants, vowels and affixes must form a unit at all levels of syntactic representations. Chapter two also offers a theory of the functional structure of classical arabic. In the third chapter, the derivation of verbal case is studied : first, in independant clauses, second, in subordinate clauses. Chapter four shows that verbal case is needed to make the verb visible. Visibility is taken to be positionally and semantically defined

Full textUnder a multidisciplinary approach that combines linguistics, foreign language acquisition and applied linguistics, this dissertation aims to analyze three features of the Spanish language that French-speaking learners find hard to master and use effectively 1) past tenses, 2) modal choice and 3) ser vs estar. We consider tenses as deictics and, therefore, we propose not to separate them from the notions of time and space. Moreover, the existence of an epistemic space (the speaker’s situation) and a deictic centre (the space from which the speaker organizes his utterance) will enable us to explain the modal values of the tenses. Furthermore, we intend to demonstrate that the organization topic-comment influences the choice of the tense and the mood in a sentence. As for the difference between ser and estar, we focus on the aspectual nuances (dynamic versus static) that each verb carries. Our conclusions in linguistics are completed by case studies: one case study in foreign language acquisition and three case studies in applied linguistics. Through a cross-sectional study in language acquisition, we have been able to describe the interlanguage of a sample group whose subjects were French monolingual college students. We also carried three study cases in order to determine how our teaching, which was inspired by the analysis of these features, helped first and second year French college students perform better. The case studies in foreign language acquisition and applied linguistics have helped us to identify the rules that govern these features of the Spanish language

Full textThis thesis deals with the prefix un- in contemporary English. It aims to analyse how the prefix works in two word categories, verbs and adjectives, and to determine the characteristic features of the morpheme as a means to express negation and opposition. This prefix can fulfil various roles and convey different semantic instructions; it forms lexemes that are the antonyms or the contradictories of their bases, as well as reversative, privative and ablative verbs. Un- is not solely defined by its semantic instructions: it shares them with other prefixes, such as in- and non- for adjectives, and de- and dis- in the case of verbs. The goal of this thesis is therefore to identify the defining features of the prefix. The morphology of the lexemes formed is analysed: un- tends to prefix adjectives with verbal roots, whereas the morphological constraints that apply to the un-prefixation are less numerous with verbs. This thesis attempts to determine the causes of these morphological tendencies and to study the relationship between morphology and semantics. For that purpose, it deals with the lexical fields to which those lexemes belong, as they appear to cluster around a few semantic axes. Furthermore, un- is compared with the negative adverb not and with the negative reversative, privative and ablative prefixes in-, non- dis- and de-. This empirical study, relying on data collected in lexicographical works as well as on large electronic corpora such as the Corpus of Contemporary American English and the British National Corpus, tests the validity of the approach defined in the first part for the study of derivational affixes

Full textRegarded as marginal varieties, Eastern Basque dialects —in particular the Roncalo Souletin branch— show a strong tendency to archaism, which makes diachronic research on these dialects most necessary. Souletin is undoubtedly the main dialect among the Eastern varieties of Basque with old written documents; due to their relatively early nature and temporal continuity, the centrality of Souletin in the diachronic study of the Eastern Basque is uncontroversial. This dissertation focuses on the evolution of Souletin on the basis of the diachronic analysis of a wide array of linguistic features, mostly —but not only— morphosyntactic ones. In other words, it targets the internal history of the language, and so does not aim to establish its evolution according to its speakers or the political and socio-economic events which could have influenced it (external history). In the search for solid basis/foundations, this dissertation is based on a corpus composed of more than forty texts (1616-1899), which covers the majority of the printed production, in addition to a representative sample of documents from popular tradition. We have carried out this research in two phases: 1) the definition and constitution of the corpus, which has implied exhaustive philological work; and 2) the analysis of more than fifty linguistic features. Regarding the explanation of the data, we have used the main tools of historical linguistics, and more specifically those which help us understand the past of an isolated language: a) internal comparison; b) grammaticalisation; and c) typology. Moreover, we have taken into consideration language contact phenomena and the approach of historical sociolinguistics. After having analysed the historical development of every linguistic feature under consideration, we are able to offer a complete picture of the evolution of Souletin Basque, as well as the direction of the changes that it underwent. We have shown that Souletin Basque is essentially conservative: in fact, it has maintained a number of archaisms dating from the Old Common Basque (c. 7th century; cf. Mitxelena 1981), as well as ancient innovations shared with other eastern varieties. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that the main Souletine innovations of the last centuries are due to intensive contact with Gascon Occitan

The only human intervention consists in supplying a verbal root and indicating its base, and possibly the vowel of the verb, belonging to (cacaca) base, in the present tense if and only if the morphological structure of the generated verb does not allow the algorithm to determine its vowel automatically

The distribution of the vocalism in Afar verbs allows us to give a underlying representation of verbs with a single template. The proposition of a templatic interface between phonology and syntax gives a hierarchical structure to the templatics domains and allows one to take into account the relationships between the different components of the Grammar. Then, we are able to give a unified analysis of the verbal morphology that predicts the expected forms for all the verbs

Full textThis work, which is intended as a first step towards a new edition of Diomedes' 'Ars grammatica', offers the critical text and commentary of a portion of Book I of this manual, corresponding to the dissertation about the formation of the perfect, defective verbs and some irregular verbs (GL I 364, 10-388, 10). The introduction, organized in five chapters, offers first of all some issues concerning the author (chapter I) and his work in general, and an overview of its structure and contents, with particular attention to the characteristics related to its destination as a manual conceived for a Greek-speaking audience, for whom Latin was not the mother tongue (chapter II). The third chapter is devoted to the manuscript tradition of the 'Ars', with a census of the witnesses that preserve it in full, in part or in the form of extracts, and a description of the manuscripts on which the 'recensio' is based. The textual relationship between them is then discussed and a hypothesis of the reconstruction of the 'stemma codicum' is offered. The chapter closes with a history of the circulation of Diomedes' text that illuminates some moments of its early medieval diffusion, as well as its rediscovery in the humanistic age. The fourth chapter of the introduction is specifically dedicated to the section of the work of which the edition is offered, with insights into the sources found there and an exploration of the use of literary 'exempla', that deserve interest since they are very rare. The introduction closes with a formulation of the criteria of the critical edition. The critical text, corresponding to pages 364-388 of volume I of Keil's 'Grammatici Latini', is followed by a commentary that discusses textual and philological problems and at the same time deepens Diomedes' doctrine on certain questions of verbal morphology, comparing it with the rest of late antique and early medieval grammatical literature

Full textThis research consists in a systematic analysis of the verbal constructions of classical arabic, in particular an analysis of simple transitive sentences. An investigation of the work of traditional grammarians has led us to reformulate certain criteria of transitivity, and re-examine the problem of word order in these constructions. The relationship between transitivity and intransitivity is studied from the viewpoint of morphosyntactic relations : middle forms, reflexive forms, etc. We then study the characteristics of certain complements, including the dative and locative. Finally, we present a commentary on the verb classes, which have been grouped into 13 tables according to their morphological, syntactical and distributional regularities

Full textThis thesis aims at describing french verbal auxiliaries. This description is put back in a broader range of questions concerning what linguistics considers as simple and complex. One of the major topics discussed in the first part is the question of the styles of description. We show that ita corresponds to a configurational approach,while both itp and wap are coined with a processual approach. Does the morphology constitute a system of its own,with categories and rules distinguished from those of syntax? the second part answers positively to this question and argues that the classical morphemic approach is unsuited to account for describing morphological phenomena,whatever they are. A detailed and formal account of most derivational phenomena in french is given, including those with truncation,allomorphy or suppletion. A treatment is proposed of the so-called parasynthetic forms. Bracketing paradoxes are also discussed at length. The third part begins with a criticism of the most influential analyses of french auxiliaries. In the following chapters, it is argued that complex verb forms involve a left side recursion and a configurational representation. Dur analysis gives a principled explanation of why there is no form with more than two temporal auxiliaries. The various surface forms of simple verbal tenses are accounted for through the application of chained functions. The verbal terminations are not affixes but the exponence of grammatical features carried by the verb

Full textUses and Representations of French Spelling in Socially Differentiated Adults.A Multidisciplinary ApproachThis thesis examines orthographic variation from a linguistic, psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic and didactic perspective, integrating both cognitive and social factors. More specifically, it focuses on this variation in the French-spelling practices and representations of language users who use the written medium daily, due to either professional or educational obligations. The users in question are adult writers in the process of learning (sixth form students at a vocational secondary school) and expert writers (secretaries, human resources managers and future secondary school teachers). This research questions the social stakes of spelling, focusing more specifically on 1/ how users of written language, whether they have difficulties or are relatively secure in their uses, build orthographical knowledge and 2/ the representations they have of spelling. The key question could be expressed in the following terms: in the face of the complex French writing system, what are the areas of fragility or orthographical insecurity among expert writers and writers with difficulties? In other words, do these areas overlap with the areas of instability that exist within the French writing system? What judgments do these writers make regarding spelling and their own orthographic practice, and regarding suggestions for a new reform of the spelling system?These questions address a number of aims and this research attempts to provide some answers concerning 1/ spelling variation in formal writing, in order to determine areas of spelling fragility among users of written language; 2/ the internalised patterns or schemas that are responsible for spelling variants; 3/ the existence of social demand for spelling reform on the part of spelling “professionals”. In sum, this study allows an understanding of the spelling difficulties faced by a certain number of adults and adolescents in a society in which more and more written texts are produced and in which competence in reading and writing is a determining factor for social and professional integration. The qualitative and quantitative analyses conducted allow a general profile of each of the groups of writers observed to be drawn up, on the basis of cross-referenced data about their orthographic competence and representations. Finally, this work opens up the perspective of renewed reflection about current spelling and puts forward suggestions for training teachers in orthographic variation i.e. informing them about the strong tendencies identified and providing theoretical tools to foster learning

Full textAs part of this study on the integration of French dialectal borrowing into French and the borrowing of French in dialectal Arabic in western Algeria, we have tried, throughout our work, to demonstrate our interest in Algerian dialect Arabic and its relation to the French language.This study on the phonological and morphological integration of borrowings focuses on verbs and nouns, divided into three chapters. At each stage of our analysis, we sought to highlight the functioning of the verb - or noun - in dialectal Arabic by relying on two types of lexemes: those from dialectal Arabic and those borrowed from French.In the first chapter, which is composed of two parts, we tried to study, in a first part, the different nouns and verbs existing in dialectal Arabic, then, we saw in a second part, the adaptations at the phonological level and morphological with examples offered in Algerian dialect Arabic.In the second chapter, we analyzed only at the phonological level the adaptation of nouns and verbs borrowed from French in dialectal Arabic from examples taken from our oral corpus. The latter allowed us to see and analyze the different speeches at the phonological level by taking into account the borrowing, in this case the verbs and nouns used by our interlocutors.In the third and last chapter of this study, we opted for the variety of the French language, well represented in the west of the country in the French-language print media, where items from local varieties spoken in Algeria are present. This is the Algerian-French kind of language, observed the morphological adaptation of borrowing to dialectal Arabic in French in the language practices of the journalists of the written press, used by a chronicler from examples taken from our written corpus.We have seen in this study, which this linguistic integration of borrowings in Algeria remains one of the main processes that contribute to the enrichment of local French and media discourses, especially in western Algeria

Full textThe present research work is a description of the verb system of the wule dialect of dagara (region of diebougou, burkina faso), dagara is a voltaic language of the western sub-group of the oti-volta languages. Morphosyntax : the functionlist analysis has enabled us to isolate the preg dicative structure, the terms which are necessary to the nexus and its expansions: verbal nominal predicative structure, class function, constituent syntagm, morpheme lexeme. We have touched upon the problem of focalization , of thematization, and also described the questions related to syntagmatics, asyndeton synthesis. Verb sytem: the contours of the verbal constituent have been defined. The verbal constitutent enters a discursive structure, surrounding itself with nexic affixes. Toitreat the roots and the morphemes, we have been inspired by non-lineal phonology. The description of the problems of aspect, of assertion and of tense has taken into account utterance parameters: the subject-utterer, the time of utterance, and the situation of utterance. Semiosyntax: morphosyntax has enabled us to extract classes and function, semiosyntax has brought to light the types of predication : attributive (identity, localisation, recognition, existence) and relational predication (verbal and nominal predicates). We have carried out a typological test of

Full textThe romance of "Ysay͏̈e le Trist" is a voluminous novel from the late Middle ages edited by André Giacchetti (Publications de l'Université de Rouen N° 142). Its systematic linguistic description gives the reader the possibility to acess the text with greater ease and to complete usefully the documentation of the litterary prose. The size of the material to be treated and the desire of exhaustiveness required the creation of a KWIX concordance after having collected the text with the basic manuscript (ms 2524 Darmstadt). Phonetic and lexical observations are scattered throughout the whole thesis. Sub-systems are studied in their reciprocal relationships

Full textThis thesis seeks to analyse Japanese compound verbs and Polish prefixed verbs as a part of complex predicate verbal ocnstuctions. First, the notion of word-formation and consequently that of word are examined by analyses between (ortho)graphic and prosodical words, which include problems of word space and several accentual systems. Next, this analysis of compound verbs goes back to 17th century with the first two Japanese grammars by Rodriguez and Collado, respectively, where the former proposes a dichotomy between "manner of action" and "particle" verbal compounds. Then follows an analysis of contemporary Japanese compound verbs, with particular emphasis on some pairs of transitive and intransitive verbs in the second element of compound. Contrastingly, a typology of verbal prefix constructions in Polish is considered and reviewed. Finally, through a multilingual comparison of The Little Prince, by Saint-Exupéry, using two translations in each of Japanese and Polish, a typology of complex predicate verbal constructions is put forward which corresponds with the language, French, in which this thesis is written and which serves as a pivot for the examination of various verbal constuctions of the languages for comparison, Japanese and Polish: verb compounding and converbal construction for the former, verbal prefixation and infinitival auxiliary construction for the latter
