L’urgence de la valorisation
Une réponse gouvernementale à la crise sanitaire était d’invoquer une urgence de la recherche pour laquelle l’Agence nationale de la recherche (ANR) a dû proposer des financements pour la science utile. Les sciences humaines et sociales (SHS) ne faisaient pas partie du programme prioritaire. Cette réponse développe l’idée qu’il est urgent de valoriser la recherche en SHS afin de mieux appréhender la société. Il est proposé que la valorisation pas…
Tenir la promesse du Dictionnaire universel
Cet article rend compte de l’approche encyclopédique de Basnage de Beauval, réviseur en 1701 du Dictionnaire universel de Furetière, paru en 1690. La confrontation des deux dictionnaires est possible grâce à la numérisation du Dictionnaire universel 1701 dans le cadre du projet ANR BasNum . En étudiant la terminologie couverte par Furetière, puis par Basnage, on verra comment Basnage réoriente le dictionnaire dans un sens résolument moderne. Sera…
Trees in the landscape
The 17 th century was a time of change in both agriculture and architecture as both nobility and newly rich bourgeois sought to embellish country residences with gardens and orchards. Not only were new plants arriving from overseas, but gardening was being revolutionised by the likes of Le Nôtre, de la Quintinie and the lesser known Fatio. This was reflected in the Dictionnaire universel de Antoine Furetière, the first genuinely encyclopaedic dic…
Hourglass Effect
The publication of the Dictionnaire universel of Furetière in 1690 ushered in the age of the encyclopaedic dictionary. This was a relatively short-lived phenomenon of little more than a hundred years, but one which pathed the way to modern encyclopaedias. Furetière having died in 1688, his successor was Basnage de Beauval, a protestant exile based in the United Provinces of the Netherlands. It was Basnage who in the new 1701 edition transformed t…
Corpora
Corpus linguistics arrived late in France, but electronic text archives arrived early. The apparent contradiction lies in the defining of corpora and of corpus linguistics.
European Identity
This volume examines how Europe is represented linguistically in the news media of four EU countries, France, Italy, Poland, and the UK, through the use of an electronic corpus built from newspapers and television news transcripts. This multilingual comparable corpus is composed of the entire contents of four newspapers published in each country, collected over two periods of three months; and the transcriptions of two TV news broadcasts, collect…

Traduction et corpus, corpus et recherche
Dans l'enseignement des langues étrangères, la traduction est très souvent présente comme activité pédagogique. Dans les LEA de Lorient, nous ne prétendons pas former des traducteurs – notre spécialité reste le commerce international – mais en L3 une option rédaction/traduction a été ouverte pour ceux qui souhaitent se préparer à un Master en traduction ou rédaction. En plus de leurs cours de traduction, ces étudiants reçoivent des cours de lexic…
In search of representativity in specialised corpora
In large reference corpora representativeness is attempted through carefully selected sampling and sheer size. The situation is different with special language corpora in that their very nature limits them in size. Their representativity is measured by reference to external selection criteria, generally following bibliographic classifications, which tend to be subjective. In order to overcome subjectivity in specialised corpora, a corpus-directed…
Collocational Networks
Scientific sublanguages evolve in accordance with the needs of the Discourse Community (DC) with new words being coined and a gradual change in the meanings expressed through existing lexis. In so far as the central concepts relate to each other, similar relational patterns emerge in their surface constructs, words. Consequently, the "frame of reference" for a given lexical item is to be found in the genre-specific lexical environment of that wor…
Methodological chauvinism in the philosophy of science
African Design
The Strategy of the TSR-2
In preface to Royal United Service Institutions monograph on complex history of ill-fated tsr-2 British tactical strike reconnaissance aircraft, I wrote: This study was inspired by melancholy spectacle of a great nation forced to cancel an important military aircraft. The aircraft was considered by Air staff to be a necessary piece of hardware even though financial necessity eventually compelled its cancellation. Tsr-2 was conceived at a time whe…
