EARLY PLIOCENE BARB (TELEOSTEI, CYPRINIDAE, BARBINAE) FROM THE CAMP DELS NINOTS SITE (SPAIN)
The Pliocene site of Camp dels Ninots (Caldes de Malavella, NE Spain) is considered a Konservat-Lagerstätte due to the remarkable preservation of its macro and microvertebrate record, along with floral remains such as leaf imprints and seeds. Its lacustrine deposits, dated from the early Pliocene, have provided a number of semi-articulated and isolated remains of middle to large sized cyprinid fish, apparently belonging to subfamily Barbinae. These specimens allow recognize number of skeletal characters, including specific morphology of the pharyngeal dentition and denticulation at the posterior side of the last unbranched dorsal fin ray. The latter character is well discernable in smaller individuals, while in the larger specimens the denticulation is lost. These features, together with general osteological characterization, allow to classify the specimens under consideration to the species Luciobarbus graellsii (Steindachner, 1866), or closely related form morphologically non discernable from the latter. Fish of the Luciobarbus graellsii species is typical native barb inhabitant of North-Eastern Iberian Peninsula and Camp dels Ninots documents its first and earliest fossil record. Inferences for the Pliocene palaeogeography of the region as well as the palaeoecology of the species is discussed. This new fossil record enlarges the known climatic requirements of the species (as it manage to survive from the warmest period of the Pliocene to the coldest period of the Pleistocene) and documents their early abilities to disperse in peculiar aquatic environment (i.e., maars). Brief overview of the fossil record barbs from Central, Western and Southern Europe is provided
L’Acadie vue du Dictionnaire des Francophones ou la lexicographie numérique au service de l’altérité
In this paper, we intend to approach the notion of otherness from the angle of diatopic variation and, more specifically, the lexical variety of Acadian French. To do this, we’ll be looking at the Dictionnaire des Francophones, and in particular at the phraseological units used in Acadian French and inventoried in this brand-new collaborative digital dictionary. So, we will present the DDF and the contribution of its Canadian partners, we will define its innovative knowledge engineering modeling. Finally, we’ll focus on idioms, according to the model proposed by LEC. We will aim to show how idioms contribute to show the linguistic vitality and identity of this province, by attesting to its otherness.Dans cet article, nous nous proposons d’aborder la notion d’altérité sous l’angle de la variation diatopique et, plus précisément, de la variété lexicale du français acadien. Pour ce faire, nous nous pencherons sur le Dictionnaire des Francophones, et en particulier sur les unités phraséologiques de type locution utilisées en français acadien et inventoriées dans ce tout nouveau dictionnaire numérique collaboratif. Nous présenterons donc le DDF et la contribution de ses partenaires canadiens, nous définirons sa modélisation innovante en matière d’ingénierie de la connaissance. Enfin, nous nous intéresserons aux locutions, selon la modélisation proposée par la LEC. Nous nous attacherons à montrer comment les locutions contribuent à témoigner de la vitalité linguistique et de l’identité de cette province, en attestant de son altérité
Exploration lexicographique de sources du français québécois
Cet article vise à identifier différentes sources du français québécois en partant de huit mots spécifiques au lexique ou à la culture du Québec (emploi aujourd’hui vieilli en France, emprunt à une langue autochtone, emprunts à l’anglais, néologismes, etc.). Cette exploration à travers les mots permet de refaire le parcours des rencontres de différents peuples avec lesquels les francophones du Québec ont été en contact au cours de leur histoire. La présente étude retrace aussi la description de mots québécois, sur plusieurs siècles, dans certains dictionnaires faits en France et met ces visions en dialogue avec l’usage réel et avec certains dictionnaires qui constituent des jalons importants de la lexicographie du Québec des 150 dernières années.This article aims to identify different sources of Quebec French based on eight words specific to the lexicon or culture of Quebec (use now outdated in France, borrowing from an indigenous language, borrowings from English, neologisms, etc.). This exploration through words allows us to retrace the journey of encounters between different peoples with whom the French speakers of Quebec have been in contact throughout their history. The present study also retraces the description of Quebec words, over several centuries, in certain dictionaries made in France and puts these visions in dialogue with real usage and with certain dictionaries which constitute important milestones in the lexicography of Quebec over the last 150 years
