L'ORDRE ET LE DÉSORDRE
Le politique en anthropologie

Victor Pereira Da Rosa & Jean Lapointe
University of Ottawa

	L'objectif central de cet ouvrage est de fournir aux étudiants
et étudiantes en anthropologie politique un outil pédagogique qui, à
notre avis, vient combler un vide dans l'enseignement supérieur en
langue française. Ce volume est l'aboutissement des expériences
didactiques des auteurs qui, depuis longtemps, ont été responsables
des cours et des séminaires dans ce domaine à l'Université
d'Ottawa. Ce travail de synthèse incorpore des idées et des réactions
de cohortes étudiantes qui ont élu l'étude du politique comme part de
leur formation.

	L'anthropologie politique prend de plus en plus d'ampleur
aussi bien dans le champ des études ethnologiques que dans celui des
sciences politiques. Les auteurs tentent d'en cerner les notions
fondamentales de pouvoir, gouvernement et leadership dans une
perspective comparative.  Cette analyse tient compte des différentes
formes d'organisation sociale qui ont cours dans l'univers
ethnographique (bandes, tribus, chefferies et États). Une discussions
des principales orientations théoriques qui ont marque le
développement de l'anthropologie politique est présentée
succinctement. Dans les dernières sections, on étudie des cas
particuliers tels que la mondialisation et la souveraineté des nations
amérindiennes.

UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES IN ACQUISITION OF SECOND LANGUAGE
PHONOLOGY

Nittaya Chaimanee, University of Freiburg

	This study investigates the significance of filled and unfilled pause
phenomena as a universal strategy in language acquisition to achieve
potential in communication across languages. Thai, the language of
Thailand is used as a second language by speakers of different first
languages as well as a first language in a natural setting, in Thai
environment.
	The study, by way of contrastive analysis between speech samples of
native and non-native speakers, provides statistical results on the
distribution of pauses, with discussion of significant features which
affect pauses and significance of pauses in conversations in Thai. As a
result of the empirical testing of Thai spontaneous speech data, more
information on Thai phonology has been revealed. Two corresponding types
of pauses, filled pauses/pause fillers and unfilled/silent pauses are
found in conversational Thai spontaneous speech. Filled pauses are
categorized into two kinds, "common" filled pauses and "typically Thai"
filled pauses. They are specifically used in isolation at conversational
turns and in conversational overlappings. Unfilled pauses manifest
themselves as relatively different durations of silence. Both types of
pauses occur within conversational turns, before words initially
composed of complex linguistic components. These components mostly
operate under modification of certain prosodies, and are specifically
characteristic of the target language. They motivate phonotactic
constraints due to articulatory difficulties of speech processing which
may relate to cognitive factors, especially control and awareness.
Filled pauses and unfilled pauses are, as highlighted in this study,
normal hesitation phenomena in spontaneous speech. They are phenomena of
significance in communication as common speech strategies which enhance
for potential proficiency of language acquisition, especially of a
second language.
