  • The Grammaticalization of Demonstratives: a Comparative Analysis
    Nicholas Catasso 7 Journal of Universal Language 12-1 March 2011, 7-46 The Grammaticalization of Demonstratives: A Comparative Analysis Nicholas Catasso Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia * Abstract An article, irrespective of its distribution across natural languages, dialects and varieties, is a member of the class of determiners which particularizes a noun according to language-specific principles of grammatical and semantic structuring. Definite articles in Indo- European languages – in those grammatical systems where they are present – are derived from ancient demonstratives through a grammaticalization process: given that demonstratives are deictic expressions (i.e. they depend on a frame of reference which is external to that of the speaker and of the interlocutor) with the role of selecting a referent or a set of referents, it is easy to understand what the role of “universal quantifier” of the, which is in English the prototypical – but questionable – example of definiteness, is due to. Demonstratives are frequently reanalyzed across languages as grammatical markers (very often as definite articles, but also as copulas, relative and third person pronouns, sentence connectives, Nicholas Catasso Dipartimento di Scienze del Linguaggio - Dorsoduro 3462 - VENEZIA 30123 (VE) Phone 0039-3463157243; Email: [email protected] Received Oct. 2010; Reviewed Dec. 2010; Revised version received Jan. 2011. 8 The Grammaticalization of Demonstratives: A Comparative Analysis focus markers, etc.). In this article I concentrate on the grammaticalization of the definite article in English, adopting a comparative-contrastive approach (including a wide range of Indo- European languages), given the complexity of the article. Keywords: grammaticalization, definite articles, English, Indo- European languages, definiteness 1.

  • TEACHING FRENCH USING MNENONIC DEVICES John J. Janc PROFESSOR of FRENCH EMERITUS Minnesota State University, Mankato
    TEACHING FRENCH USING MNENONIC DEVICES John J. Janc PROFESSOR OF FRENCH EMERITUS Minnesota State University, Mankato Mnemonic devices are basically memory aides. I have always found them useful as have those who take my classes. When trying to create one, teachers should never hesitate to give free reign to their imagination. They must play with the letters and, when necessary, look for other examples that fit the rule under consideration. Sometimes one really must "cheat" a little. Words may have to be repeated or letters used that do not fit the acronym. Teachers should regularly repeat the devices in class and should require students to memorize them when feasible. Very often, after having taught one, I give extra credit on the next quiz to those who are able to reproduce the device and explain the grammatical point that it illustrates. I then require everyone to know it by heart for the following quiz or examination. Some devices may appeal to the ear, others to the eye. Some need to be used in conjunction with another one in order to make sense. The reader will find examples of these different points below. ADJECTIVES This is the traditional device used to help students remember which adjectives normally precede the noun. Beauty: beau, joli, vilain Age: jeune, nouveau, vieux Number: premier, dernier, deuxième Goodness: bon, gentil, mauvais, méchant, vilain Size: court, haut, grand, gros, long, petit Here is a French version of the preceding one. Taille: court, haut, grand, gros, long, petit Caractère: bon, gentil, mauvais, méchant, vilain Âge: jeune, nouveau, vieux Autre: autre Nombre: premier, dernier, deuxième Beauté: beau, joli, vilain I have also used "BIG MAC" to supplement the preceding two.

Theory and practice in data-driven learning Betsy KERR University of Minnesota 9 Pleasant St. S.E., Minneapolis MN 55422, USA [email protected] Partant de certains concepts intéressants du domaine de la linguistique sur corpus, cet article défend l'idée de faire une place plus importante à l'acquisition du vocabulaire et de mieux intégrer les aspects lexicaux et grammaticaux dans l'enseignement de la langue. Nous nous intéressons tout particulièrement à l'idée de la centralité des séquences lexicalisées dans les productions orales, telle qu'elles sont identifiées dans la grammaire lexicale de Sinclair puis appliquées à la didactique des langues avec l'approche de Lewis. De plus, cet article montre, à partir d'activités types, comment l'apprentissage à partir de corpus est propice aux activités métacognitives centrées sur l'apprenant, pointant des aspects importants concernant le lexique et la grammaire du français. Finalement, nous passons en revue plusieurs outils qui se prêtent à la préparation de ce type d'activité par l'enseignant. Mots-clés: Concordance, corpus, approche lexicale, didactique des langues, linguistique sur corpus, FLE, concordanciers en ligne 1. Introduction Many proponents of data-driven learning (DDL) or the use of concordance- generated data in language teaching and learning have lamented the fact that second language educators, especially outside of the field of English L2 instruction, have not embraced the use of DDL in significant numbers (see for example Cheng 2010: 327-328).

  • Dire, Uscire, and Venire, and Disjunctive Pronouns the Verbs Dire (To
    Dire, uscire, and venire, and disjunctive pronouns The verbs dire (to say; tell), uscire, (to go out/to leave), and venire (to come) are irregular. *Most forms of dire use the stem of the original Latin infinitive dicere. Diciamo ciao al professore tutte le mattine. L’insegnante dice che devo stampare i compiti. *Dire expresses to say or to tell. Do not confuse it with parlare (to speak). Cosa dici a Stefania? Parli a Stefania? *Uscire is irregular in all but the noi and voi forms. Usciamo sempre con le amiche. Da quanto tempo esce con Davide? *Use uscire for the English to leave in the sense of to go out of. To express depart, use partire. Stasera mio fratello non esce di casa. Le mie sorelle partono per l’Italia domani. *The verb riuscire (to succeed; to manage) follows the same pattern of conjugation as uscire. Use riuscire a + (infinitive) in two-verb constructions. Non riesco a caricare la foto. Riuscite a mandare l’e-mail? *Like Uscire, venire is regular in only the noi and voi forms. Vieni in Sicilia a luglio? Oggi non venite a lezione. Disjunctive Pronouns (pronomi tonici) are the pronoun forms used after prepositions. Note that 3rd person forms use different words to refer to one/oneself. Davide esce con lei. Diciamo arrivederci a Lei? *Some prepositions add di before a disjunctive pronoun, including dopo, prima, senza, su, and sotto. Secondo is used alone. Uscite senza di noi? Secondo voi, è facile la classe? *Da is often used before a disjunctive pronoun to mean by oneself.

In French, possessive pronouns indicate both the possessor and the number and the gender of the object possessed: le mien indicates that the possessor is 'I' and that the possession is masculine singular. In the following table, the choice between the singular or plural form and between the masculine or feminine form depends on the number and gender of the item possessed.

  • The Morphosyntactic Typology of Oceanic Languages*
    LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS 5.2:491-541, 2004 2004-0-005-002-000082-1 The Morphosyntactic Typology of Oceanic Languages* Malcolm D. Ross The Australian National University The main goal of this paper is to describe some morphosyntactic characteristics that are common to a majority of Oceanic languages. Amidst the typological variety of Oceanic languages, the author defines a canonic language type, i.e., a type widely represented both genealogically and geographically. This type is SVO and has prepositions. Subjects are coreferenced by a prefix or proclitic to the verb, objects by a suffix or enclitic. Verbs often fall into morphologically related pairs with a transitive and an intransitive member. In some languages these verb pairs in turn fall into two classes. With A-verbs, the subject of both members is the Actor. With U-verbs, the subject of the intransitive is the Undergoer, which is to say, it corresponds to the object of the transitive. Against this background the (de-)transitivising morphology of Oceanic languages is described. Possession in the canonic language type takes two forms, direct and indirect. The direct construction encodes inalienable possession, the indirect (which entails a possessive classifier) encodes alienable possession. The paper finishes with a discussion of interclausal relationships in canonic languages. Adverbial and complement clauses display little desententialisation. It is also suggested that subjects in canonic languages generally have only a semantic function, not a reference-tracking function. Key words: Oceanic languages, canonic type, typology, morphosyntax, verbal marking of subject, verbal marking of object, (de-)transitivising morphology, possession, interclausal relations, function of subject 1.

First, I discuss the ambiguities disjunction gives rise to in intensional contexts, in particular their consequences for anapho- ric possibilities. I pay special attention to the interaction of future tense and disjunction, showing the role of temporal structure in the availability of anaphora to a split antecedent. Second, I propose a dynamic binding account for split antecedents introducing the concept of ‘variable complexes’. These are syntactic constructs consisting of two variables that can be bound by two corresponding quantifiers. I implement variable complexes formally as an extension of Dynamic Predicate Logic (DPL; Groenendijk and Stokhof 1991). This provides better empirical coverage and also simplifies the status of disjunction in DPL by giving us an enriched view on the dynamic behavior of connectives. ii The thesis of Jos Leonard Tellings is approved.
