  • Rudiments of Cognitive Rhetoric∗

    Dan Sperber, Sarah Cummin et al.ARTICLERhetoric Society Quarterly2007Citada por: 2

    I am honored and flattered that this old text of mine should have been deemed worth translating and publishing in the Rhetoric Society Quarterly. It was initially intended as a chapter of my book Le symbolisme en général (Hermann, 1974; translated as Rethinking Symbolism by Alice L. Morton, for Cambridge University Press, 1975). But, under the encouragement of Tzetan Todorov, it developed beyond what I had planned and was taken out of the draft o…

  • A Modular account of null objects in French

    Open AccessSarah Cummin, Sarah Cummins et al.ARTICLESyntax2005Citada por: 10Referencias: 11

    The interaction among pragmatics, semantics, and grammar and their shared responsibility for interpretation are essential factors in linguistic analysis. This paper explores the interpretation of null objects (NOs) in French from this perspective. Previous accounts have determined two major classes based on the referentiality of the NO; however, these analyses end up, paradoxically, with a semantically vague description of the difference, resorti…

  • A Case Study in Lexical Research for Translation

    Sarah CumminsARTICLEInternational Journal of…2002

    Examining in detail the treatment in monolingual and bilingual dictionaries of two French‐English pairs – population/population and plus ou moins/more or less – with a view to determining whether sufficient information is provided to enable active users in particular to identify differences in meaning and use, this study finds that users would conclude that the members of the pairs are equivalent. However, corpus analysis reveals significant diff…

  • The Unaccusative Hypothesis and the Impersonal Construction in French

    Open AccessSarah CumminsARTICLEThe Canadian Journal of…2000

    This article argues that the Impersonal Contruction (IC) of French, which displays unaccusative syntax but allows unergative verbs, refutes the Unaccusative Hypothesis (UH) and the principles of lexically driven mapping. It is demonstrated that three types of argument intended to explain unaccusative mismatches are untenable while maintaining the UH. An account of the verbs appearing in the IC is proposed, based on the principles of free linking …
