All Work and No Play”
Translating ‘work’ as ‘travail’ (noun) or ‘travailler’ (verb) may seem straightforward, but in reality the underlying collocational resonances are very different. This text looks at the concept of collocational resonance, a theory first mooted in 2005, as the sub-conscious meaning potentials of words within different collocational environments over time. The text takes a diachronic analysis of the two words through a series of legacy dictionaries…
Motivation and accessing care among drug treatment court involved women
Drug treatment courts (DTC) address substance use disorders (SUD) but not cooccurrencing HIV or hepatitis C virus (HCV). This pilot explored feasibility and preliminary outcomes of the Women's Initiative Supporting Health (WISH) intervention and health-related motivation, both based in self-determination theory (SDT) regarding HIV/HCV and SUD treatment. WISH feasibility study: 79 DTC women completed a one-time survey regarding motivation and will…
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…
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…
Effective behaviour change techniques for physical activity and healthy eating in overweight and obese adults; systematic review and meta-regression analyses
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
The Soviet Naval Challenge
The Permanent Alliance
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…
