Hutto, Megan. "Vowels in Kotiria and Wa'ikhana| A diachronic and synchronic analysis". Thesis, University of Colorado at Boulder, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1589966.
Texto completoThis study first postulates a set of vowels for Proto-Kotiria and Wa'ikhana informed by previous studies which reconstructed the vowels for Proto-Tukanoan, the family to which Kotiria and Wa'ikhana belong, and by the modern vowel inventories of these languages. Then, a comparative description of vowel pronunciation between two time points, 1905 and 2010, is undertaken. This description reveals that, while there has not been a change in vowel inventory, there are differences in speakers' production of vowels between these two times. The suprasegmental systems as well as the aspiration patterns of each of these languages is also looked at as possible explanation for changes in pronunciation.

Esta tese apresenta uma análise de reescritas brasileiras dos contos de Charles Perrault, sob uma perspectiva diacrônica e sincrônica, com o objetivo de compreender as diferentes formas como os contos do autor francês do século XVII têm sido reescritos no sistema literário brasileiro. Publicada na França, em 1697, a obra Histórias ou Contos do tempo antigo com moralidades ou Contos de Mamãe Gansa, alçada posteriormente à categoria de clássico da literatura infantojuvenil, contém oito contos em prosa, seguidos de moralidades em verso ao final de cada narrativa: A Bela Adormecida no bosque, O Chapeuzinho Vermelho, Barba Azul, O Mestre Gato ou o Gato de Botas, As Fadas, A Gata Borralheira ou A Sapatilha de Vidro, Riquete do Topete e O Pequeno Polegar (títulos dos contos de acordo com a tradução de Mário Laranjeira). Nesses contos, ao mesmo tempo em que recupera histórias populares da oralidade, Perrault insere sua marca autoral, a moralidade em verso, comentário final do autor sobre a história contada em prosa. Considerando que as moralidades possuem uma dupla função - autoral e literária - esta pesquisa se volta para o estudo da transmissão dos contos no Brasil com foco nesse duplo aspecto: a questão da autoria e a questão da literariedade. Tendo como principal pilar teórico os Estudos Descritivos da Tradução e adotando a metodologia de Lambert e Van Gorp, o corpus objeto de análise é composto por reescritas (e seus paratextos) publicadas em livro, desde o momento inicial em que os contos surgem no sistema literário brasileiro, ao final do século XIX, até a contemporaneidade, com a mais recente reescrita publicada em 2016. São também examinados alguns metatextos, tais como cartas e entrevistas, que auxiliam na compreensão das propostas dos reescritores e editores das obras. A partir das noções de André Lefevere acerca de reescrita e patronagem, considera-se que reescritas exercem papel central para o estabelecimento e a manutenção de cânones literários e projetam imagens novas ou distintas de obras e autores, de acordo com concepções ideológicas e poetológicas dos responsáveis pelas publicações (reescritores, prefaciadores, editores). Portanto, esta tese propõe a adoção de uma linha de pesquisa para os estudos literários que atente para a centralidade do fator reescrita, quando são analisadas obras estrangeiras inseridas em sistemas literários alvo. Como será visto no caso de Perrault no Brasil, as reescritas mais recentes, com diferenças relevantes em termos literários em relação às reescritas mais antigas, projetam novas imagens da obra e do autor, possibilitando novas leituras por parte do público leitor contemporâneo.
In this doctoral dissertation, Brazilian rewritings of Charles Perrault s tales are analysed from a diachronic and synchronic perspective with the aim of comprehending the different forms in which this seventeenth-century French writer s stories have been rewritten in the Brazilian literary system. Published in France in 1697, Stories or Tales of Bygone Times, with Morals or Tales of Mother Goose, which was later acknowledged as a classic of children s literature, contains eight tales in prose followed by morals in verse at the end of each narrative: The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, Little Red Riding-Hood, Bluebeard, The Master Cat or Puss in Boots, The Fairies, Cinderella or The Little Glass Slipper, Ricky of the Tuft and Little Thumb (full translations of the titles from the French source text). In these tales, while drawing on popular stories from the oral tradition, Perrault inserts his trademark morals in verse, offering a final comment on the story told in prose. Considering that the morals have a twofold function - both authorial and literary - the transmission of the tales in Brazil is studied with a focus on this dual aspect: authorship and literariness. Taking Descriptive Translation Studies as the main theoretical perspective and adopting Lambert and Van Gorp s methodology, the corpus under analysis is composed of rewritings (and their paratexts) published in books, ranging from when the tales first appeared in the Brazilian literary system in the late nineteenth century to the current day, the most recent of which having been published in 2016. Some metatexts are also examined, such as letters and interviews, which are helpful for understanding the rewriters and editors objectives. Based on Andre Lefevere s theoretical work on rewriting and patronage, it is suggested that rewritings exert a central role in establishing and maintaining literary canons and project new or distinct images of works and authors, according to the poetological and ideological conceptions of the actors responsible for the publications (rewriters, preface writers, editors). Therefore, a proposal is made for the adoption of an approach for research in literary studies that takes account of the centrality of the rewriting factor, in analyses of foreign works in target literary systems. As seen in the case of Perrault in Brazil, the most recent rewritings, which differ significantly in literary terms from the older rewritings, project new images of the work and the writer, making new readings possible for a contemporary readership.

Texto completoThe contemporary Tunisian urban landscape, characterized by a strong heterogeneity, wonders about the factors of its emergence. The city of Monastir is an excellent example of the analysis of urban transformations. This city is characterized, especially, by a high urbanization rate of 100% and differential growth in time and space. This research lies into the fields of architecture, urbanism, space syntax and territorial planning. This work questions the evolution of the urban landscape of the municipality of Monastir from 1956 to 2013. An objective is to search for a series of visibility indices on the city dynamics in its context of morphofunctional heterogeneity. This work undertook a gradual logic of apprehension of the urban environment and its cultural continuity.The establishment of a global approach to the spatial structure of the municipality of Monastir, on the diachronic analysis, and on the synchronic analysis, respectively, allowed us to model several facts of urban landscapes. This materializes, in particular, by identifying the genesis of diffuse centralities associated with non-hierarchical socio-spatial forms. These urban phenomenologists’ disparities have led us to adapt current spatial syntax measures in order to provide a better understanding of the reality of the whole environment of the municipality of Monastir, and where the landscape mediation dominates

Texto completoThis paper outlines a model of conceptual change in indexing languages. Findings from this modeling effort point to three ways meaning and relationships are established and then change in an indexing language. These ways: structural, terminological, and textual point to ways indexing language metadata can aid in managing conceptual change in indexing languages.

Texto completoThis corpus-based study analyses the use of quando (quandoque, quandoquidem, quandocumque) in different textual genres from Early to Postclassical Latin. From the Bibliotheca Teubneriana Latina CD-ROM (BTL-4) we have listed the instances of quando in Plaute’s Comedies, Cicero’s Discourses, Lucretius’ De rerum natura, Livy’s History of Rome and Seneca’s Moral Essays. Quando can be used as an interrogative, indefinite and relative adverb or as a temporal or causal conjunction. But the classification of these different uses is not possible without a macro-syntactic approach that combines morpho-syntactic, semantic and enunciative points of view. First, the study of this multifunctional term raises the question of its integration in the sentence structure. Thus the functional interference of its use as a relative adverb and as a temporal conjunction shows that the frontiers between syntactical functions are malleable. Furthermore, the semantic ambiguity invites us to extend the analyses to the contextual inferences to distinguish for instance its temporal and causal use. Moreover we cannot analyse the use of quando without considering its illocutionary force: for instance the questions introduced by quando perform a great variety of speech acts which reveal certain characteristics of the literary genre. Finally, the methods of Functional Grammar are necessary to study the level quando affects in the sentence structure, as the causal subordinate clause provides information on the interpersonal level and can be considered as a disjunct satellite. In the light of these considerations, it is evident that an eclectic approach is necessary to study the use of quando: only different linguistic approaches, combining the morpho-syntactic, semantic and enunciative point of view in an empirical description of its occurrences, can define the value of the different uses of quando. Thus the significance of this study resides in the multifunctionality of quando which allows us to consider a large variety of linguistic and extra-linguistic problems occurring not only at multiple levels of the sentence structure, but extended even to the larger context of the speech interaction and intimately linked to the authors writing techniques and the speakers discursive intentions
Xu, Shiwen. "Subordonnées complétives objets : une analyse contrastive du français et du chinois". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Paris 3, 2025. http://www.theses.fr/2025PA030004.
Texto completoObject complement subordinate clauses (SCO) play a crucial role in the construction of complex sentences in both French and Chinese. In French, these clauses are easily identifiable due to explicit conjunctions and a clear distinction between verbal moods. In contrast, recognizing SCOs in Chinese proves more challenging, given the lack of visible morphosyntactic markers. This comparative study explores the methods for delineating SCOs in both languages, using specific criteria and tests to identify these clauses, particularly in Chinese, where syntactic boundaries are less clear. We conducted an exhaustive analysis of sentences containing SCOs from four literary works, enabling a comprehensive statistical and comparative examination. The synchronic analysis reveals both similarities in the syntactic functions of SCOs in French and Chinese, as well as significant formal differences. Furthermore, a diachronic approach highlights the evolution of SCO usage over time in both languages. This research offers new insights into the mechanisms of subordination and the structural differences between French and Chinese

Texto completoThe purpose of a semiotic analysis of architecture is to see how non verbal codes manifest themselves through the architectural language, based upon the idea that such a language is conditioned by macro-social values, and therefore the architectural sign should be considered as an anthropological marker. This multi-disciplinary approach combining different fields such as architecture, semiotics and anthropology, is aimed on one hand at contributing to semiotics by proposing a methodology for the analysis of an architectural corpus, and on the other hand, to broadening the field of urban geography to new disciplines, and finally, to providing a new analysis of Beirut’s urban fabric through the comparative case study of two architectural typologies. The proposed semiotic approach can be applied as a tool of urban geography to architectural corpuses and urban fabrics in order to understand the mechanisms of production and obsolescence of form
