Introducing Minimalism: A Parametric Variation introduces the currently advocated syntactic theory known as Minimalism. It gives the reader a concise and precise introduction to the substantial notions and concepts made use of by Chomsky in his biological approach to the study of language and how they help minimize the linguistic machinery apparatus needed to describe natural language. Chapter 1 presents a generative approach to language acquisition. Chapter 2 tackles syntax theorization since C

This book addresses the learning and academic needs of students of EFL in morphology-made-easy way. It also addresses t

Oz is an artificial auxiliary language created by Charles Milton Elam. In spite of its name, it was a serious project. It belongs to the a priori group of artificial languages, i.e. it did not take anything from natural languages, as Esperanto did. The only known work on the language is a book by Elam entitled The Case for an A Priori Language, published in 1932, and it is one of the more obscure artificial languages. This book did not include a dictionary or glossary, and so the present diction

Ce lexique comme outil lexicographique, rassemble les terminologies de domaines se rapportant aux « fournitures, équipements et matériels de bureau » ou FEMB en abrégé.

L’ouvrage a pour domaine la pragmatique des interactions verbales. Il porte sur le discours en interaction et la construction des relations sociales au Cameroun, en scrutant comment les moyens langagiers sont utilisés par les interactants pour exprimer le lien social. En prenant appui sur des données empiriques, l’ouvrage analyse divers phénomènes langagiers qui relèvent de la relation interpersonnelle : l’impolitesse et la violence verbale, les stratégies d’adresse, les relationèmes, les act

Cet ouvrage est un guide pratique qui va au-delà des acceptions normatives pour apporter une définition pragmatique aux parties discursives. Cela met en évidence le dynamisme du système langagier français à travers les incidences discursives. Il s’agit d’analyser les parties du discours selon leurs mouvances contextuelles et leur complexité sur les plans intra et extra-discursif afin de leur assigner une définition non arbitraire. Plusieurs facteurs conditionnent le statut et la valeur des mot

La phrase française mieux encore l’énoncé phrastique, loin d'être un stéréotype figé et immuable, se révèle être une entité dynamique et complexe, une mosaïque de sens et d'intentions en perpétuelle évolution. La visée discursive, porteuse de la socioculture du sujet parlant, modèle la phrase française au point de mettre en lumière une certaine « normativité ». Cet essai grammatical examine les différents critères qui permettent de déterminer la phrase, tout en soulignant sa perméabilité, sa tr
