THÈMES

La dynamique linguistique

Thème 1 : Créativité et figement

Rapporteurs : Loïc Depecker et Denis Costaouec

On s'attachera tout particulièrement à la dynamique grammaticale et lexicale.
* Composition, dérivation et figement.
* Dans quelle mesure la structure d'une langue particulière favorise-t-elle
ou non tel ou tel procédé de créativité lexicale ?
* Comment et quand passe-t-on du syntagme aux formes composées ? Recherche
de critères.
* Procédures de défigement éventuel.
* Évolution des unités lexicales vers des unités grammaticales. Le
contraire de la grammaticalisation est-il vrai ?
* Le cas particulier des noms propres (néologie en matière de toponymes,
d'anthroponymes, de noms de marques, etc.; les problèmes de transferts de
classes ?).
* Créativité grammaticale. Le locuteur innove-t-il et si oui, comment ? Que
deviennent les innovations ?
* Relation entre la dynamique et la diachronie. Que devient la créativité
synchronique en diachronie ?

Conférence plénière : Christiane Marchello-Nizia, ENS-LSH

Thème 2 : Situations linguistiques complexes et contacts de langues

Rapporteurs : Eva Havu et Juhani Härmä

Comment intégrer les situations linguistiques complexes à la description
linguistique, qu'il s'agisse de situations individuelles ou collectives :
quelles conséquences théoriques et méthodologiques doit-on envisager dans
une démarche structurale et fonctionnelle ?
Comment définir aujourd'hui la notion d'usage et apprécier le poids de
différents facteurs comme l'origine géographique, l'âge, la situation
sociale, les représentations sur la pratique des locuteurs ?
Comment décrire aujourd'hui l'influence des facteurs de type
sociolinguistique sur l'évolution des systèmes linguistiques en présence,
notamment en situation de bi- ou plurilinguisme ou encore dans les cas de
diglossie ?

Conférence plénière : Jan-Ola Östman, Université de Helsinki

Il y aura également la possibilité de faire une communication individuelle
qui n'entre dans aucun des deux thèmes.

N.B. C'est avec beaucoup de plaisir que nous accueillerons des
communications sur les langues de la région baltique.

INSCRIPTION

* Préinscription avant le lundi 14 mars 2005.

IN ENGLISH:

THEMES

Linguistic Dynamics

Theme 1: Creativity and fixation

Responsible for the theme: Loïc Depecker and Denis Costaouec

Grammatical and lexical dynamics will be of particular interest for this theme.
* Word formation and fixation.
* Does the structure of the language favour one of the possible processes
of lexical creativity?
* When and how does a syntagm become a compound form? What are the criteria?
* Can fixation be reversed? In what ways?
* Evolution of lexical units towards grammatical ones. Is
grammaticalization unidirectional?
* The special case of proper nouns (neological formation of toponyms,
anthroponyms, brand names, etc.; moving from one category to another...).
* Grammatical creativity. Is the speaker innovative and how? What do the
innovations become?
* Relationship between dynamics and diachrony. What does synchronic
creativity become in diachrony?

Plenary speaker: Christiane Marchello-Nizia, ENS-LSH

Theme 2: Complex linguistic situations and language contacts

Responsible for the theme: Eva Havu and Juhani Härmä 

How to integrate complex linguistic situations - individual or collective -
into linguistic description: what are their theoretical and methodological
consequences in a structural and functional approach?
How to define today the concept of 'language use'? How to weigh the effect
of different factors such as geographical origin, age or social situation
on the speakers' practice?
How to describe today the effect of sociolinguistic factors on linguistic
systems present in an area, particularly in a bi- or plurilingual or
diglossic situation?

Plenary speaker: Jan-Ola Östman, University of Helsinki

Papers not related to either of these themes may also be presented.
We especially welcome papers on languages from the Baltic area.

REGISTRATION

* Preregistration before March 14th, 2005.
* Abstracts before March 14th, 2005.
* The second circular will be sent to those having answered affirmatively
to the first one.
* Final registration and conference fee before May 15th, 2005.

Call Deadline: 31-Jan-2005 

Meeting Description:

The 25th Annual Conference of the Poetics and Linguistics Association will be
held in Huddersfield in Yorkshire in the UK. PALA is the leading international
association for the study of stylistics. 

Call for papers for the 25th Annual Conference of the Poetics and Linguistics
Association

PALA is celebrating. The year 2005 will see our 25th annual conference and we
are proud to have grown in that time into a mature international organisation.
During the years since PALA's founding, stylistics has evolved and matured, and
in recent years, PALA has been at the forefront of the emergence of cognitive
stylistics; textual analysis with a new focus on how readers make meaning from text.

The 25th Annual conference of PALA will consider the next step towards an
integrated theory of style; recognition of the overlapping commonality of
meaning that may arise amongst communities of readers linked by social,
geographical, historical, political and other aspects of their backgrounds. We
are still learning from cognitive stylistics how individuals draw meaning from
text. We have more to learn from traditional stylistics and from critical
discourse analysis about the potential which texts have to embed meanings (which
may also be naturalised ideologies) in stylistic choices. We want to add a third
string to the bow, by considering those aspects of textual meaning that are
social, that mark out agreement rather than variation, and that may be said to
stand somewhere between the individual text/reader and the genre/society.

These three approaches are not mutually exclusive, and all of them will be
welcomed in this celebration of diversity and eclecticism in Stylistics and
Poetics. We do, however, look forward to receiving proposals specifically
connected to the theme of the conference, as well as proposals which reflect the
established range of approaches to stylistic research.

Abstracts for papers should be 300-500 words, and must include a title, the
author's name, institutional affiliation, mailing address, email address, and
any special equipment needed (overhead projectors will be available for all
sessions).

Abstracts for panel discussions and workshops should also be 300-500 words, and
must include the same information as a paper abstract for both the organizer and
each participant.

Papers will be scheduled in strictly enforced 30 minute blocks within 90 minute
or 120 minute sessions, to allow members of the audience to move from session to
session between papers. Each paper should be 20 minutes long, reserving 10
minutes for questions, discussion, and moving from one room to another. Panel
discussions or workshops can be scheduled for either 90 or 120 minutes.

Please send abstracts to pala25 at hud.ac.uk by January 31st 2005.
