    Other ; Dans cet article, nous proposons d’appliquer une analyse des connecteurs pragmatiques issue de la théorie de la pertinence au traitement automatique des langues naturelles (TALN). Nous commencerons par montrer les conséquences de l’application de la théorie de la pertinence sur l’étude des connecteurs, en prenant pour exemple les connecteurs de l’anglais. Dans un deuxième temps, nous exposerons les contraintes imposées par les limites actuelles du TALN. Enfin, nous proposerons un schéma d’étude des connecteurs pragmatiques pour le TALN ainsi qu’une esquisse d’application de cette méthode.

  2. Contact, Mobility and Authenticity: Language Ideologies in Koineisation

    Other ; New Zealand English first emerged at the beginning of the 19th century as a result of the dialect contact of British (51%), Scottish (27.3%) and Irish (22%) migrants (Hay and Gordon 2008:6). This variety has subsequently developed into an autonomous and legitimised national variety and enjoys a distinct socio-political status, recognition and codification. In fact, a number of dictionaries of New Zealand English have been published1 and the variety is routinely used as the official medium on TV, radio and other media. This however, has not always been the case, as for long only British standard norms were deemed suitable for media broadcasting. While there is some work already on lay commentary about New Zealand English (see for example Gordon 1983, 1994; Hundt 1998), there is much more to be done especially concerning more recent periods of the history of this variety and the ideologies underlying its development and legitimisation. Consequently, the current project aims at investigating the metalinguistic discourses during the period of transition from a British norm to a New Zealand norm in the media context, this will be done by focusing on debates about language in light of the advent of radio and television. The main purpose of this investigation is thus to examine the (language) ideologies that have shaped and underlain these discourses (e.g. discussions about the appropriateness of New Zealand English vis à vis external, British models of language) and their related practices in these media (e.g. broadcasting norms). The sociolinguistic and pragmatic effects of these ideologies will also be taken into account. Furthermore, a comparison will be carried out, at a later stage in the project, between New Zealand English and a more problematic and less legitimised variety: Estuary English. Despite plenty of evidence of media and other public discourses on Estuary English, in fact, there has been very little metalinguistic analysis of this evidence, nor examinations of the underlying ideologies in these discourses. The comparison will seek to discover whether similar themes emerge in the ideologies played out in publish discourses about these varieties, themes which serve to legitimise one variety, whilst denying such legitimacy to the other.

    Other ; The poster demonstrates the preparatory steps of a digital multi-text edition that are abstracted from the experiences made in the Parzival Project, based at the University of Bern, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the University of Erlangen. This edition of Wolfram von Eschenbach’s German Grail novel, written shortly after 1200 and transmitted during several centuries in ca. hundred witnesses, has now been completed by more than a half of the textual corpus. As the text is transmitted in medieval manuscripts the witnesses have to be transcribed according to specific encoding rules. The transcriptions then are collated following certain ideas and concepts of how the transmission process could have developed. The transcriptions and collations finally have to be transferred to a digital edition that allows the users to explore the characteristics of single witnesses as well as the history of a text, which is delivered in variants and in different versions. A dynamically organized database offering various components and adapted to the needs of diverse user-profiles is nowadays the right tool for this purpose.

    Other ; Recent research on melodrama has stressed its versatility and ubiquity by approaching it as a mode of expression rather than a theatrical genre. A variety of contexts in which melodrama is at work have been explored, but only little scholarly attention has been paid to the relationship between melodrama and novels, short stories and novellas. This article proposes a typology of melodrama in narrative prose fiction, examining four different categories: Melodrama and Sentimentalism, Depiction of Melodramatic Performances in Narrative Prose Fiction, Theatrical Antics and Aesthetics in Narrative Prose Fiction and Meta-Melodrama. Its aim is to clarify the ways in which melodrama, ever since its early days on the stages of late eighteenth-century Europe, has interacted with fictional prose narratives, thereby shaping the literary imagination in the Anglophone world.

    Other ; Die Romane der französischen Autorin Marie NDiaye (geb. 1967) sind durchzogen von Zuständen des Unwohlseins: NDiayes Protagonistinnen werden auf diffuse Weise sozial ausgegrenzt oder massiv bedrängt, verlieren die Kontrolle über ihren Körper oder geraten in schwindelerregende Zweifel über den Realitätsgehalt ihrer Sinneswahrnehmungen und Erinnerungen. Anhand der Romane "En famille" (1990), "Autoportrait en vert" (2005) und "Mon cœur à l’étroit" (2007) zeigt der Aufsatz, dass diese Momente des Unbehagens nicht nur die Suchbewegungen und Erkenntnisprozesse der Romanfiguren auslösen, sondern auch die kreative Spannung bilden, die den Vorgang der literarischen inventio in Gang setzt. Theoretische Modelle einer Psychologie, in der Unlust als Antrieb fungiert, finden sich bei Leibniz, Locke und Freud; Elemente einer Narratologie der Unlust, mit der sich die quête-Struktur von NDiayes Romanen beschreiben lässt, bietet die strukturalistische Märchentheorie Wladimir Propps und seiner Nachfolger.

    Other ; The different aspects of magic became an essential ingredient of bucolic universe since the origin of pastoral genre. Within an idealized and utopic frame, magic built a bridge towards transcendence, and balanced the disharmony created by human love emotions within Arcadian microcosm. This concept of magic became infused to Sixteenth century pastoral novel through Neoplatonism and Hermetic tradition. From a narratological point of view, magic episodes became indispensable to complete the philosophical meaning of the works. Lope de Vega, in La Arcadia, published in 1598, fully participated from this tradition, though he will approach the convention from a particular dramatic-like perspective. And it was precisely in pastoral comedias where the Fénix ends up deconstructing bucolic code to remodel it as a mere vestige of the tradition and treat magic as a humorous ingredient.

    Other ; Departing from the concepts of visualism and theatricality understood as the base of the world view of an epoch, a reflection about the presence of a pictorial-based expressiveness in the performance of Lope’s comedias de santos is suggested. Besides the analysis of the suitable contexts and staging procedures associated to the appearance of sacred images on stage, static performances, closer to painting than to drama, are also taken into account as a device which contribute to create that transcendent meaning which is essential to hagiographical comedias.

    Other ; Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Garbage, The City, and Death. A Four Act Scandal in Post-war Germany The paper explores the dramaturgy of the scandals around the play Garbage, The City and Death (Der Müll, die Stadt und der Tod) by German playwright, theatre and film maker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Published in 1976, the play immediately caused a scandal in West Germany, because it was accused of reproducing anti-Semitic stereotypes. The presentation sheds light on the different phases of the scandal and their historical and cultural contexts in post-war Germany – starting as a literary scandal in 1976, being transformed into a theatre scandal in the 1980ies and finally being dissolved by the German premiere in 2009. The paper is structured as follows: Act One: The Literary Scandal. Destroying Fassbinder’s Garbage, Act Two: Preventing the Staging of the Play, Act Three: Blocking the Opening Night, Act Four: Performing the Play in Germany. By analysing the dramaturgical structure of this specific scandal, the paper discusses the following hypotheses: 1. Scandals arise through the circulation of decontextualised information in public. This is due to either a lack of information about the actual object or incident being scandalised or a lack of information about the context of the object or incident. This lack is caused by the logic of the scandal itself: Because the play or the performance is prohibited, it has been withdrawn from the public, making it impossible to form a well-founded opinion on the controversy. 2. The scandal is driven forward by an emotionalising rhetoric built around the decontextualised information. 3. Once the gap of information is filled, the scandalising rhetoric turns into a rhetoric of irrelevance: Reviews of the first performance of Garbage, The City and Death in Germany considered the play hardly a matter of public concern.

    Other ; This paper explores the works of German film-maker Rosa von Praunheim during the AIDS crisis. In the 1980ies and 1990ies he produced several films portraying the gay communities in Germany and the USA in the face of AIDS. First, this paper analyses the cinematic techniques von Praunheim uses to criticise the German gay community and present the American practices of performing community as a role model for AIDS-activism. In a second step, the focus is put on von Praunheim’s autobiography and the rhetoric strategies he uses to participate in New York’s HIV-community, while being HIV-negative himself.

    Abstract ; Die literarische Darstellung der Stadt verändert sich im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Untersuchung geht davon aus, dass die Künstlerfigur einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Entwicklung des erzählten Bildes der Stadt nimmt. Gegenstand der Untersuchung sind europäische Künstlerromane und -erzählungen, die in der Stadt spielen. Von Sébastien Merciers Tableau de Paris bis zu Gérard de Nervals Aurelia entfernt sich der traditionelle Beobachter immer mehr aus der Beschreibung und lässt einen neuen Betrachter auftreten. E.T.A. Hoffmann und Nikolai Gogol führen den Künstler als Stadtbetrachter ein, der sich seiner Phantasie bedient, um Dinge zu schildern, die jenseits des objektiv Sichtbaren liegen. Mit der Künstlerfigur wird der Bereich des Nicht-Sichtbaren entdeckt. Die Figur des Künstlers erlaubt es, den Beschreibungsprozess offen zulegen, zu reflektieren und die individuelle Vorstellung des Menschen in die Beschreibung miteinzubeziehen. Das Bild der Stadt unterwirft sich damit nicht mehr einem geordneten Gesamteindruck, sondern spaltet sich in unzusammenhängende Einzeleindrücke auf, die allein von individueller und symbolischer Bedeutung sind. Innere und äußere Wahrnehmung divergieren und zwingen zu einer dies berücksichtigenden Erzählhaltung. Die Stadt dient in den Werken von Honoré de Balzac (Illusions perdues), Nathaniel Hawthorne (The Marble Faun) und Gottfried Keller (Der grüne Heinrich) als Ort der Bewährung. Die künstlerischen Träume können in der Stadt nicht verwirklicht werden. Die Stadt führt zur Enttäuschung und wird auf diese Weise zu einem Raum der Entdeckung des eigenen Selbst. Aus der Perspektive der Enttäuschung und der Marginalität entwickeln sich neue und moderne Ansätze der Stadtdarstellung, die das Maß an Verwirrung und Entfremdung mitausdrücken können. Die empfundene Bedeutungslosigkeit und Isolierung werden zu Begleitern des Stadtbildes. Der Stadt wird in vielen Künstlerromanen aus diesem Grund die Natur als Gegenwelt und Fluchtwelt zur Seite gestellt. ; Abstract ; The literary representation of the city changes during the course of the 19th century. The present study assumes that the figure of the artist comes to have a decisive influence on the development of the narrated image of the city. The study looks at European novels and stories that display the life of an artist (Künstlerroman) and take place in the city. From Sébastien Mercier s Tableau de Paris to Gérard de Nerval s Aurélia the traditional observer becomes further and further removed from the narrative and allows a new observer to emerge. E.T.A. Hoffmann and Nikolai Gogol introduce the artist as an observer of the city, one who uses his imagination to give account of things that lie behind that, which is objectively visible. The figure of the artist facilitates discovery of the realm of the non-visible. The figure of the artist makes it possible to lay bare and reflect upon the narrative process and to bring into it individual human imagination. Thus the image of the city no longer submits to an overall orderly impression, but rather splits into so many different unconnected impressions that are of personal and symbolic significance alone. Internal and external perceptions diverge and propel the text into a narra-tive approach that takes account of this. In the works of Honoré de Balzac (Illusions perdues), Nathan-iel Hawthorne (The Marble Faun) and Gottfried Keller (Der grüne Heinrich) the city serves as a place of testing. Artistic dreams cannot be realized in the city. The city brings disappointment and thereby becomes a space of discovery of one s own self. From the perspective of disappointment and marginality new and modern ways of representing the city develop that are also capable of expressing the extent of confusion and alienation. The meaninglessness and isolation experienced in the city come to accompany the image of the city. It is for this reason that in many novels that display the life of an artist (Künstlerroman) nature is placed alongside the city as a counter-world , a world of escape. ; Abstract ; La représentation littéraire de la ville se transforme au cours du XIXe siècle. La recherche part du point de vue que la figure de l artiste a une influence décisive sur le développement de l image racontée de la ville. Elle prend pour objet des romans et nouvelles d artistes européens qui se déroulent dans la ville. Du Tableau de Paris de Sébastien Mercier à l Aurélia de Gérard de Nerval, l observateur traditionnel s éloigne toujours plus de la description et fait intervenir un nouveau regard. E.T.A. Hoffmann et Nicolas Gogol introduisent l artiste comme observateur de la ville. Ce dernier s appuie sur l imagination qui se sert de son imagination pour décrire des choses qui se trouvent au-delà du visible objectif. Avec le personnage de l artiste se découvre le domaine du non-visible. Cette figure permet d exposer et de refléter le processus de description et d inclure dans celle-ci la représentation personnelle de l individu. L image de la ville ne se soumet plus à une impression générale bien ordonnée, mais se décompose en impressions isolées décousues qui, seules, ont une portée individuelle et symbo-lique. Perceptions intérieure et extérieure divergent et fondent une position narrative différenciée. Dans les uvres d Honoré de Balzac (Illusions perdues), Nathaniel Hawthorne (Le Faune de marbre) et Gottfried Keller (Henri le Vert), la ville sert de lieu d épreuve. Les rêves artistiques ne peuvent se réaliser dans la ville. La ville décevant, devient un espace de découverte de soi. A partir de la perspective de la déception et de la marginalité se développent des esquisses nouvelles et modernes de la représentation de la comme d un espace de trouble et d étrangeté. L insignifiance et l isolement ressentis accompagnent l image de la ville. C est pour cette raison que, dans de nombreux romans d artiste, la nature est placée à côté de la ville comme contreunivers et lieu de fuite.

    Abstract ; Die Arbeit untersucht Thomas Manns schriftstellerische Technik der Gestaltung von Romanfiguren nach Quellen, Vorbildern und Modellen und verwendet zur Beschreibung dieses Verfahrens den Begriff Porträt . Sie geht von der Tatsache aus, dass Thomas Mann auf autobiographische Erfahrungen und Erinnerungen an Verwandte, Freunde, Kollegen oder Zeitgenossen zurückgegriffen sowie Figuren, Szenerien und selbst kleinste Details nach Bildvorlagen gestaltet hat. Dabei geraten vier Bereiche ins Blickfeld, welche die verschiedenen Facetten der porträthaften Gestaltung der Figuren bei Thomas Manns ausmachen: Aus den Reaktionen der Betroffenen und des Umfelds, aus der konkreten Beschreibung der an Vorbildern orientierten Personen im Roman, aus der Analyse der dabei vorgenommenen Verschiebungen und Vertauschungen einzelner Züge sowie aus den Selbstdarstellungen des Autors ergibt sich eine Poetologie des literarischen Porträts. Vor dem Hintergrund der zeitgenössischen Kunstausübung in seinem Umfeld entfaltet sich Thomas Manns Verhältnis zur bildenden Kunst. Essayistische, briefliche oder sonstige Auseinandersetzungen Thomas Manns mit Kunst, Kunsttheorie sowie insbesondere der Gattung Porträt, vor allem aber seine Selbstaussagen und -definitionen lassen poetologische Positionen und Abgrenzungen sichtbar werden. Die vielfältigen Wechselbeziehungen, die sich in seinem Werk niederschlagen, manifestieren sich in den Begriffsfeldern Realismus, Wirklichkeits-Wiedergabe und Ähnlichkeit. Die Konzentration auf den Doktor Faustus sowie die Erfassung des gesamten Spektrums der im Roman verwirklichten Formen literarischer Porträts zeitigt eine neuartige Sicht auf die verschiedenen Deutungsebenen, die bislang auf den Roman angewendet wurden. Bei der Untersuchung der verschiedenen Schnittstellen zwischen gesellschaftlicher Wirklichkeit und literarischer Fiktion wird deutlich, dass das künstlerische Mittel des Porträts nicht nur jeweils dazu beiträgt, die einzelnen Schichten der sinnhaften Struktur zu konstituieren, sondern ein integraler Bestandteil des Romans ist. ; Abstract ; The dissertation examines Thomas Mann s literary technique of basing the characters in his novels on sources, examples and models, and uses the word portrait to describe this process. It is built around the fact that Thomas Mann in his work resorted to autobiographical experiences and memories of relatives, friends, colleagues and contemporaries, and also based figures, scenarios and even the smallest details on original images and pictures. In this context, four areas can be distinguished which account for the various facets of the portrait-like manner in which the characters of Thomas Mann are formed: from the reactions of the person concerned and the surroundings, from the precise description in the novel of the characters based on example, from the analysis of the permutations and combinations of individual features thus undertaken, and from the self-depictions of the author, a poetology of the literary portrait is formed. Against the background of the contemporary practice of art in his environs, Thomas Mann s affinity to fine arts blossomed. Not only Thomas Mann s essays, letters or other musings on art, art theory and especially genre portrayals, but above all his own statements and definitions allow poetological positions and demarcations to become visible. The numerous fluctuating relationships reflected in his works are manifested in the conceptual fields of realism, replication of reality, and similarity. By concentrating on Doctor Faustus while charting the entire spectrum of literary portrait forms applied in the novel, a whole new way of looking at the various levels of meaning used heretofore in the novel may be obtained. An examination of the various interfaces between social reality and literary fiction makes it apparent that the use of an artistic vehicle such as the portrait not only helps provide the individual layers with a meaningful structure, but is also in itself an integral part of the novel.
