Anthologie des Rhétoriqueurs
International audienceEntre 1450 et 1530, les Rhétoriqueurs ont formé un vaste réseau de poètes-orateurs en français. Souvent au service des princes, leurs poésies, spectacles, chroniques en prose et vers ont visé à résoudre les crises du présent. 76 extraits d’une trentaine d’auteurs invitent à les redécouvrir

Discourse patterns and emerging grammar in Papuan languages
International audiencePapuan speech is characterized by four major discourse preferences: the preference to distribute information across smaller units of speech and to then repeat and summarize it; the preference for making maximal use of bi-partite theme-rheme relations; the frequent use of tail-head linkage; and the preference for conveying thoughts and intentions in the form of direct quoted speech. These four discourse preferences are prone to grammaticization and thus lead to the emergence of specific grammatical constructions that, viewed across Papuan languages, share many features but also show language-specific characteristics. For all four preferences, we argue that there is considerable need to determine more precisely the features that distinguish the grammatical and usage manifestations found in Papuan languages from related tendencies attested in spoken language generally. Furthermore, the distributional preferences observed in Papuan natural (narrative) speech suggest a fresh look at the grammar of supra-clausal units. A core issue here is the task of carefully assessing the evidence for and against the assumption of hierarchical discourse structure. The fact that Papuan narrative speech often appears to follow culturally specific formulas is a part of this more encompassing challenge of finding practical and theoretically satisfying solutions for determining the upper limits of grammatical analysis
Coverb constructions in Papuan languages
International audienceCoverb constructions (aka verb adjunct constructions) have been claimed to be a typical and wide-spread phenomenon among the languages of Papua. This chapter explores the role of coverb expressions in the lexicon, their semantic and morphosyntactic properties, and possible diachronic scenarios that might have led to the loss of coverb expressions in a given language. In particular, we strive to provide operationalizable means for determining the syntactic status and the word-class membership of the light-verb complement, and for delimiting coverb expressions from other, related constructions. However, we also point to the analytical problems that remain when trying to define and delineate coverbs and coverb expressions, for example, when trying to distinguish them from verb-noun idioms
Artificial Intelligence as Political Antagonism: Media Traces of a Displaced Super-Controversy
This article argues that public engagement with Artificial Intelligence (AI), as it becomes visible through media traces, is structured less as a technoscientific controversy among competing publics than as a displaced form of political antagonism. Intervening in current STS debates on AI “super-controversy,” we revisit controversy studies and recent calls for controversy elicitation, which seek to revitalize democratic problematisation by fostering participation and extended expertise. While these approaches foreground conflict, they retain an implicit epistemic horizon in which legitimate participation is tied to articulated critique and the formation of lay expertise. Drawing instead on Ernesto Laclau’s theory of antagonism and populist logic, we propose an alternative analytical lens. In this perspective, conflict is not necessarily organized around shared objects of dispute, but around the construction of political frontiers through which heterogeneous grievances are articulated against a common adversary. Empirically, we analyse 1,148,092 comments posted on 4,244 TF1.info YouTube news videos (March 2022–May 2024), comparing AI with electric vehicles, nuclear technologies, and climate change, and mapping intersections with party-political publics. While quantitative measures suggest weak AI issue-public formation, qualitative analysis reveals predominantly vertical antagonism targeting elites and institutions. AI functions less as a technical object of debate than as a symbolic condensation of institutional power

Haec quicumque legis. A Tenth-Century Etymological Lexicon
International audienceHaec quicumque legis is a remarkable window onto the intellectual world of tenth-century Europe, offering a rich etymological lexicon compiled within the notebooks of the monastic polymath Ademar of Chabannes. This glossary, preserved in the Leiden manuscript VLO 15, blends Latin, Greek, and Old High German to illuminate the meanings, origins, and nuances of hundreds of words. Drawing from classical authors like Priscian, Isidore, Juvenal, and Persius, it reflects a pedagogical intent. The lexicon’s structure, commentary, and multilingual glosses reveal a vibrant scholarly exchange between French and German monastic traditions. With its encyclopedic scope and focus on etymology, it stands as a precursor to later medieval lexicography. This edition, meticulously edited and annotated, is an essential resource for scholars of medieval studies, historical linguistics, and the transmission of classical knowledge

Conserver, diffuser la captation de spectacle : stratégies et impasses
International audienceLa captation de spectacle, du fonds d’archives institutionnel à la collection personnelle, est prise au cœur de nombreux paradoxes : trace fabriquée, trace matérielle fragile ou média numérique reproductible à loisir, elle interroge notre rapport complexe à la représentation, au différé, à la mémoire du vivant. Entre besoin de préservation et goût pour la consommation audiovisuelle, ce moyen d’accès au spectacle après-coup est aussi devenu, au-delà de son statut documentaire, un objet de fantasme, de désir et de transactions. Le texte qui suit propose un point de vue à partir de l’exemple singulier de la Théâtrothèque Gaston Baty, bibliothèque spécialisée en Arts du spectacle au sein de l’Université Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris, France)
Language Industrialization: A New Social Revolution?
Work in progress.As artificial intelligence (AI) tools, particularly large language models (LLMs), enable the rapid production of large quantities of relatively high-quality text and other forms of content, human language may also be facing a revolution comparable to industrialization. However, automated and standardized language generation faces many issues, such as insufficient diversity, which may lead to risks like knowledge collapse. In this paper, I introduce the concept of language industrialization to refer to this phenomenon. While the short-term effects of language industrialization have already become evident in certain fields (e.g., academia), its long-term effects in other areas will require careful monitoring and thorough analysis
