"Au Cœur Du Verbe: Classifier, Explorer, Relier"
Ce colloque se veut un espace de discussion sur l’un des sujets
majeurs de la linguistique. Il sera centré sur le domaine verbal.
S’inscrivant dans le prolongement d’une importante série de travaux
sur cette problématique (Vendler, Dowty, Levin, Pustejovsky,
Jackendoff, Pottier (entre autres)), il vise à la fois à dresser un
bilan des recherches et à explorer de nouvelles perspectives
(d’analyse).
Les axes proposés, sans être exhaustifs, s’organisent autour de la
notion de la « classe sémantique » :
-quels critères, sémantiques et/ou formels doivent justifier la
classification?
-quelle(s) approche(s) théorique(s) privilégier ?
-classifier dans quel but ?
-comparaisons langue a/ langue b
-le rôle des corpus
-verbe vs locution verbale
-rôles thématiques et classification
-application dans l’enseignement universitaire.
Les travaux sur le français et sur les langues représentées au CeLiSo
sont privilégiées.
Invite: Jean-Claude Anscombre (directeur de recherches au CNRS, Centre
Jean Pruvost (LT2D – EA 7518) Cergy Paris Université)
Langues de travail : français, anglais.
Date limite pour les propositions : le 15 juillet 2026, mél.
irina.thomieres at gmail.com. 300 mots (bibliographie à part), nom, titre
académique, université de rattachement.
English version:
This conference will focus on one of the central topics in
linguistics: the verbal domain. Building on a substantial body of work
in this area (Vendler, Dowty, Levin, Pustejovsky, Jackendoff, Pottier,
among others), it aims both to take stock of existing research and to
explore new directions for analysis.
The proposed themes – a non-exhaustive selection of which appears
below – are organized around the notion of semantic class:
- What semantic and/or formal criteria should justify classification?
- Which theoretical approach(es) should be favored?
- What purposes does classification serve?
- Cross-linguistic comparisons (language A vs. language B)
- The role of corpora
- Verb vs. verbal expression
- Thematic roles and classification
- Applications in higher education
Research on French and on the other languages represented at CeLiSo
will be given priority.
