Understanding Cultures through Their Key Words

Understanding Cultures through Their Key Words
By:Anna Wierzbicka
Published on 1997-08-07 by Oxford University Press

This book develops the dual themes that languages can differ widely in their vocabularies, and are also sensitive indices to the cultures to which they belong. Wierzbicka seeks to demonstrate that every language has |key concepts,| expressed in |key words,| which reflect the core values of a given culture. She shows that cultures can be revealingly studied, compared, and explained to outsiders through their key concepts, and that the analytical framework necessary for this purpose is provided by the |natural semantic metalanguage,| based on lexical universals, that the author and colleagues have developed on the basis of wide-ranging cross-linguistic investigations. Appealing to anthropologists, psychologists, and philosophers as well as linguists, this book demonstrates that cultural patterns can be studied in a verifiable, rigorous, and non-speculative way, on the basis of empirical evidence and in a coherent theoretical framework.

Vocabulaire de l'analyse littéraire

Vocabulaire de l'analyse littéraire
By:Daniel Bergez,Violaine Géraud,Jean-Jacques Robrieux
Published on 2010-07-07 by Armand Colin

Cet ouvrage est destiné aux étudiants et professeurs de lettres désireux de mieux maîtriser les outils de l'analyse littéraire. De « accent » à « zeugme », en passant par « connotation » et « métaphore », il définit et commente environ 380 termes et notions. Bénéficiant des plus récents acquis de la linguistique, de la stylistique et de la critique moderne, chaque notion fait l'objet d'un exposé complet, à la fois théorique et méthodologique. Les définitions – concises et structurées – sont toujours accompagnées d'exemples commentés. L'exposé qui les suit montre l'intérêt proprement littéraire du terme en rapport avec l'histoire, l'esthétique et la pratique du commentaire. Des précisions annexes, renvois à d'autres notions et, quand cela s'impose, des indications bibliographiques, complètent chaque notice. Ce Vocabulaire, entièrement revu et complété pour la deuxième édition, est ainsi à la fois un ouvrage de réflexion et un ouvrage de consultation pratique. Il propose pour cela un double système d'accès : 150 entrées principales concernant les notions essentielles et un index général en fin d'ouvrage qui répertorie environ 230 termes supplémentaires.

Le français en République du Congo

Le français en République du Congo
By:Omer Massoumou,Ambroise Queffélec
Published on 2007 by Archives contemporaines

Au cours des quinze dernières années marquées au Congo par l'avènement d'une démocratie pluripartiste mais aussi par des conflits armés exacerbant les oppositions régionales, le français, langue officielle, a connu de profondes modifications : son appropriation par un nombre croissant de Congolais a eu comme corollaire une dialectalisation accrue et une consolidation de ses normes endogènes. L'ouvrage s'efforce de rendre compte de ces évolutions sociolinguistiques et de décrire la composante lexicale de ce français congolais. La description méthodique des congolismes sous forme d'un inventaire de plus de 1 350 articles montre la vitalité de cette variété régionale et l'extraordinaire créativité de ses usagers.

Everything Is Cinema

Everything Is Cinema
By:Richard Brody
Published on 2008-05-13 by Metropolitan Books

A landmark biography explores the crucial resonances among the life, work, and times of one of the most influential filmmakers of our age When Jean-Luc Godard wed the ideals of filmmaking to the realities of autobiography and current events, he changed the nature of cinema. Unlike any earlier films, Godard's work shifts fluidly from fiction to documentary, from criticism to art. The man himself also projects shifting images—cultural hero, fierce loner, shrewd businessman. Hailed by filmmakers as a—if not the—key influence on cinema, Godard has entered the modern canon, a figure as mysterious as he is indispensable. In Everything Is Cinema, critic Richard Brody has amassed hundreds of interviews to demystify the elusive director and his work. Paying as much attention to Godard's technical inventions as to the political forces of the postwar world, Brody traces an arc from the director's early critical writing, through his popular success with Breathless, to the grand vision of his later years. He vividly depicts Godard's wealthy conservative family, his fluid politics, and his tumultuous dealings with women and fellow New Wave filmmakers. Everything Is Cinema confirms Godard's greatness and shows decisively that his films have left their mark on screens everywhere.
