  • How Relevant Is the Sentence Unit to Accessing Implicit Meaning

    Open AccessCéline Pozniak, Claire Beyssade et al.ARTICLELanguages2024References: 17

    This paper examines the relevance of the sentence concept to the understanding of three types of implicitness (presupposition, conversational implicatures, irony). Our experimental protocol involved 105 children (aged 6 to 11) and 82 adults who were asked to read short texts composed of a context about some characters and a target sentence conveying one of the three implicit contents. After reading, children and adults had to answer a comprehensi…

  • From #[Je]F suis Charlie to #JeSuisCharlie: On the semantics and information structure of a French empathic copular sentence

    Fatima Hamlaoui, Laurent RoussarieARTICLEStudies in Language2018

    Je suis Charlie was used over 619.000 times in the two days that have followed the attack of Charlie Hebdo and has regularly been taken up in both written and spoken forms since. A number of variants of this meme (i.e. Nous sommes tous (des) Charlie ) have also emerged among French speakers. We argue that this is primarily related to the fact that the structure of Je suis Charlie actually clashes with its meaning. Whereas its word order and defau…

  • Je suis Charlie: Semantic and prosodic anatomy of an empathic copular sentence

    Open AccessFatima Hamlaoui, Laurent RoussarieARTICLEZAS Papers in Linguistics2015

    "Je suis Charlie" was used over 619.000 times in the two days that have followed the attack of the editorial team of Charlie Hebdo (Le Progrès, The Huffington Post) and has regularly been taken up in both written and spoken form since. In this paper, we argue that the structure of this sentence actually clashes with its meaning. More specifically, whereas its word order and default rightmost sentence stress are compatible either with an all-focus…

  • A Semantic Type-driven Account of Verb-formation Patterns in Panyjima

    Patrick Caudal, Alan Dench et al.ARTICLEAustralian Journal of Linguistics2012Cited by: 3References: 11

    In this paper we propose a semantic type-driven account of verb-formation patterns in Panyjima. By offering an explicit theory for the construal of semantically simplex event descriptions from morphologically complex verbal stems, we flesh out intuitions dating back to Clark and Clark (1979) about the role of derivational morphology in the interpretation of derived verbs, especially denominal verbs. This latter point is of particular relevance to…

  • Interpréter les pronoms phrastiques

    Laurent Roussarie, Pascal AmsiliARTICLEModèles linguistiques2007

    1. Lorsque les pronoms ne sont pas « pro-nominaux » Les pronoms qui nous intéressent principalement ici sont ceux qui renvoient typiquement à un matériau phrastique ou propositionnel. A cet égard nous les nommerons pronoms phrastiques. Voici deux exemples. [1] [Marie parle japonais]1. Mais Jean ne le1 sait pas. [2] Jean a promis [de venir à la fête]1 ; cela1 fera plaisir à Marie. Cette classe est tout à fait courante, mais elle ne se laisse pas d…
