Cette volonte d’adaptation releve d’un processus d’accommodation par lequel les auteurs adaptent leur discours a leurs lecteurs, sans toutefois en avoir une image tres precise, tandis que les lecteurs, a leur tour, interpretent le discours selon leur connaissance des normes du genre. L’analyse des modes d’accommodation permet ainsi de comprendre plus precisement comment se construit la relation entre les journalistes et leurs lecteurs. Le cas des anaphores en THE, non strictes et associatives, est particulierement revelateur du choix des journalistes de presenter une information comme nouvelle ou ancienne dans la mesure ou le choix de presenter l’information sous forme definie ne peut pas systematiquement se justifier par une connaissance partagee. Ces choix illustrent alors un processus d’accommodation par lequel les journalistes presentent une information comme ancienne alors meme qu’elle est probablement nouvelle pour les lecteurs. Ces analyses, fondees sur un corpus de presse de 35000 mots, mettent en evidence le fait que ces choix permettent aux journalistes de repondre aux contraintes du genre. Lorsque le referent est le sujet principal du texte, les anaphores construisent des paradigmes designationnels qui augmentent la cohesion de l’article. Lorsque le referent fait partie d’un sujet annexe, au contraire, les anaphores permettent de placer l’information en arriere-plan, tout en donnant toutes les informations necessaires a la comprehension de l’article.","PeriodicalId":31138,"journal":{"name":"Anglophonia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82778841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Le corpus comprend 15 heures de conversations informelles de 30 locuteurs de trois varietes d’anglais (Californie, Lancashire et Ayrshire) et la lecture d’un texte avec 40 mots trisyllabiques incluant des sites potentiels de syncope. L’analyse quantitative des donnees montre que presque la moitie des syncopes produites par nos locuteurs sont considerees comme agrammaticales par les dictionnaires de prononciation. Le but de l’article est de comprendre comment un tel decalage est possible entre la grammaire descriptive et l’usage, en se focalisant sur des cas problematiques. Une analyse qualitative indique des regularites de surface interessantes : la chute de la voyelle n’entraine pas de resyllabification, par consequent, il n’y a pas de destruction de la structure sous-jacente. Les locuteurs semblent adherer au principe de la monotonicite et laissent des traces phonetiques fines pour marquer la non-adjacence, aidant ainsi l’interlocuteur a reconstruire la forme pleine. La grammaire traditionnelle semble ne pas incorporer la notion des noyaux vides et la non-adjacence sous-jacente, alors que les locuteurs les integrent parfaitement dans leur systeme.","PeriodicalId":31138,"journal":{"name":"Anglophonia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78087401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A compositional analysis of VP anaphors","authors":"Gabriel Flambard","doi":"10.4000/ANGLOPHONIA.1192","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/ANGLOPHONIA.1192","url":null,"abstract":"The VP anaphors do it and do this/do that have been little studied in the literature, although they are mentioned in passing in a number of more general works such as Hankamer and Sag (1976), Culicover and Jackendoff (2005) or descriptive grammars by Quirk et al. (1985) or Huddleston and Pullum (2002). With the exception of Souesme (1985), very few extant studies are available and there are almost none that explore the internal structure of VPAs in detail. This paper argues for a compositional analysis of the structure of VPAs, proposing that they are ordinary transitive constructions of the form ‘do + object pronoun’ and, following Simner (2001) and Stroik (2001), that it is the pronoun, rather than the VP expression as a whole, which serves as the anaphoric element. The compositional nature of VPAs is evidenced by a range of syntactic and semantic facts which point to the relative independence of main verb do and the object pronoun in such constructions. Foremost among these is the very possibility of alternating between it and demonstrative pronouns, which is itself highly suggestive of a compositional structure. Further evidence is supplied by passivisation (it/this/that was done) or pseudo-clefting with do this/that (This/That is what I did). Secondly, we will address the question of how both parts of the VP contribute to its interpretation. Object pronouns in VPAs are distinguished by having a VP as their antecedent, or ‘antecedent-trigger’, as Cornish (1992, 1996) calls the segment of discourse through which an appropriate antecedent is retrieved. The anaphoric relation between the object pronoun and the VP trigger holds regardless of the fact that the pronoun cannot be replaced with any VP expression (e.g. * John did {mowing/ (to) mow} the lawn), as replaceability is not a necessary condition for antecedenthood.","PeriodicalId":31138,"journal":{"name":"Anglophonia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82065620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Far from being banned, propaganda through drama was part of a systematic plan initiated by the sovereigns or their zealous counsellors As was the case with two plays written by John Skelton and Sir David Lindsay at the outbreak of religious unrest (respectively 1515 and 1540), which were emblematic of the type of drama that the reformers found ready for use, the Protestant polemic interludes of the XVIth century are commissioned works, composed for a homogeneous audience. Their structure is unsophisticated, and their characters mainly allegorical. They are based on a systematic detraction of the Pope, the papist church, its institutions, liturgy and, on the other hand, on a vindication of the reformed faith. Whereas the pre-Reformation interlude was a comedy (in the sense of a divine comedy), the new hero is free to choose a way of life leading to damnation, or the Mankind character of the medieval plays is represented by a bifurcated figure; in the latter case, the plot of the Prodigal Son is used and adapted to this new persepective, the elder son playing the part of the evil man. Also, a new character, called the Vice of the Play, impersonates the concept of free will, which for the XVIth century Protestants, was the very image of confusion and impurity. The end of the story comes with the end of the century: the same type of propaganda is then found under the guise of the history play, in which patriotism and the cult of the sovereign superseded religious debate. No doubt, drama was a cogent auxiliary of the English Reformation.","PeriodicalId":31138,"journal":{"name":"Anglophonia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87891116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More precisely, there is one aspect of this theologico-political issue that has become central in Hegel and in the Hegelian school succeeding him. It is commonly known as the question of secularisation and can be phrased in the following manner : is it possible that, eventually, modern political principles could be theological principles — that is : pre-modern principles — in a secularised form ? The theme has been common enough ever since the publication in 1922 of Carl Shmitt’s Political Theology. According to him, the philosopher who first explicitly posited that the principles of the State were religious principles adapted to this world was none other than Hegel himself, particularly when he came to conceive of the State as \"the divine on earth\" and the power of the State as divine power on earth.","PeriodicalId":31138,"journal":{"name":"Anglophonia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88904504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
