Une perspective francophone pour l’étude des néologismes touristiques
No full textThis paper deals with French neologisms in the field of tourism, with a special focus on those belonging to specific French-speaking areas, in particular regional words from Charente, Normandy and Savoie describing holidaymakers. Based on a sample of words added to the last edition of Le Petit Larousse illustré 2023, our analysis aims to show their description in other French dictionaries (both professional and collaborative) as well as their diffusion in a large web corpus. The results show that not all the new words or new meanings are actually frequent in the corpus: the reasons for their inclusion, therefore, seem to be more related with the publishing house’s lexicographic tradition and with the choice to record a category of words sharing the same features, both from a semantic and a sociolinguistic point of view
Retraduire Maurice Leblanc : Arsène Lupin et l’affaire des censeurs
No full textThis article deals with cultural adaptation and censorship in translation. We start by introducing the different kinds of censorship in texts, including self-censorship. Translation appears to be a special type of rewriting (Lefevere) and reveals the influence of ideological and cultural power: this can explain biases in translators’ choices. As a case in point, we analyse three translations of Maurice Leblanc’s novel Le bouchon de cristal (1912), published in 1951, 2010 and 2012 (the last one is by the author of the present paper). The first version in particular tries to hide some unpleasant and “outlaw” sides of the protagonist, Arsène Lupin. In other excerpts, older translations deliberately manipulate the original text by omitting allusions to sexuality or by attributing angel-like connotations to a female character
Magnetic anisotropy produced by magma flow: Theoretical model and experimental data from Ferrar dolerite sills (Antarctica)
No full textVolcanic rocks forming sills, dykes or lava flows may display a magnetic anisotropy derived from the viscous flow during their emplacement. We model a sill as a steady-state how of a Bingham fluid, driven by a pressure gradient in a horizontal conduit, The magma velocity as a function of depth is calculated from the motion and constitutive equations. Vorticity and strain rate are determined for a reference system moving with the fluid, The angular velocity and the orientation of an ellipsoidal magnetic grain immersed in the fluid are calculated as functions of time or strain. Magnetic susceptibility is then calculated for a large number of grains with a uniform distribution of initial orientations. It is shown that the magnetic lineation oscillates in the vertical plane through the magma flow direction, and that the magnetic foliation plane changes periodically from horizontal to vertical. The results are compared with the magnetic fabric of Ferrar dolerite sills (Victoria Land, East Antarctica) derived from low-field susceptibility measurements

La Comédie du langage de Jean Tardieu: non-sens, ellipses et trop-pleins
No full textLa raccolta Un mot pour un autre, pubblicata nel 1951, assume una nuova forma nel volume Le Professeur Frœppel, dove acquista significativamente anche un nuovo titolo: La Comédie du langage. Vi sono raccolte quattro brevi commedie il cui fine è di « donner une forme théâtrale frappante aux divers problèmes linguistiques » (Avant-propos) che abitano la mente dell’autore fittizio del Professeur Frœppel, doppio e alter ego di Tardieu. Un mot pour un autre, Les mots inutiles, Finissez vos phrases ! e De quoi s’agit-il ? costituiscono una vera e propria miniera per lo studioso che volesse proporre una lettura ‘linguistica’ di tali commedie. Al fine di illustrarne i meccanismi e il significato profondo, si rende necessario far ricorso a molteplici livelli di analisi, tra cui la lessicologia, la pragmatica e la sociolinguistica.The collection Un mot pour un autre, published in 1951, was incorporated in the volume Le Professeur Froeppel, where it significantly has a new title: La Comédie du langage. Four plays are brought together here, with the aim of “giving a striking theatrical form to different problems of language” (Avant-propos) which preoccupy the fictional author, Professeur Froeppel, Tardieu’s double and alter ego. Un mot pour un autre, Les mots inutiles, Finissez vos phrases! and De quoi s’agit-il? are a treasure trove for a linguistic reading of these works. In order to clarify their mechanism and their deep meaning, several levels of analysis will be involved, such as lexicology, pragmatics and sociolinguistics.Le recueil Un mot pour un autre, publié en 1951, est refondu en 1978 dans le volume Le Professeur Frœppel, où il prend significativement un nouveau titre : La Comédie du langage. Y sont rassemblées quatre brèves pièces dont le but est de « donner une forme théâtrale frappante aux divers problèmes linguistiques » (Avant-propos) qui hantent l’auteur fictionnel du Professeur Frœppel, double et alter ego de Tardieu. Un mot pour un autre, Les mots inutiles, Finissez vos phrases ! et De quoi s’agit-il ? sont une véritable mine pour quiconque voudrait proposer une lecture ‘linguistique’ de ces pièces. Afin d’élucider leur mécanisme et leur sens profond, il s’agit de mobiliser plusieurs niveaux d’analyse à la fois, dont la lexicologie, la pragmatique et la sociolinguistique
Les noms de marque dans le domaine des sports: enjeux lexicologiques, lexicographiques et terminologiques
No full textDans le domaine des sports on constate la lexicalisation de nombreux noms de produit dont le statut demeure incertain ; de même, le traitement des dictionnaires s’avère très divergent à cet égard. Mais la question de la lexicalisation des noms de produit est également un enjeu terminologique, comme en témoigne le grand nombre d’équivalents officiels. Après une analyse des procédés de formation des noms de marque et de leurs équivalents, nous essayons de mesurer la circulation de ces unités lexicales et de formuler des hypothèses quant à leur statut sémantique
Metastatic melanoma in the paediatric age
No full textMelanomas are usually highly proliferative, invasive and are most frequently metastatic. Melanoma accounts for nearly 4% of skin cancer cases but, because of its highly metastatic capability, for 74% of all skin cancer mortalities. Therefore, melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer and its treatment continues to be challenging. This new book presents topical research in the study of the symptoms, diagnoses and treatment of metastatic melanoma. Topics discussed include new therapeutic alternatives for melanoma; the metastatic cascade and experimental treatments; pediatric melanoma and the relative risk of metastatic melanoma. © 2011 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

A model for the formation of lava tubes by roofing over a channel
No full textA model for tube formation by roofing of a channel is proposed and involves first describing lava as a Bingham liquid flowing down a slope. It is further assumed that lava flows in a channel with rectangular cross section: as a result of heat loss into the atmosphere, a crust is gradually formed on the upper surface of the flow and this crust eventually welds to the channel levees. The model predicts that if the flow rate is constant, the thickness of the flow increases as the crust fragments grow and weld to each other, and the velocity of the crust decreases to zero. Once the lava tube is formed, the initial flow rate can be achieved by a flow thickness smaller than the vertical size of the tube, with the same viscous dissipation. -from Author
