Description et analyse des usages contemporains de la ponctuation française.

François, Guillaume 13 October 2006 (has links)
Le but de ces recherches doctorales est de donner un modèle critique de la ponctuation en français contemporain. Pour ce faire, nous avons d'abord élaboré un premier modèle théorique basé sur les études antérieures. Nous avons ensuite confronté ce premier modèle à un corpus récent imprimé en français. Ceci nous a permis de mettre au jour les limites d'une approche purement spéculative des modèles linguistiques. Ces analyses ont été complétées par une série d'études stylistiques visant à voir si notre modèle permettait de rendre compte de "déviances" par rapport aux usages "standard" que nous avions précédemment observés.

What's the point? : a (computational) theory of punctuation

Jones, Bernard January 1996 (has links)
Although punctuation is clearly an important part of the written language, many natural language processing systems developed to date simply ignore punctuation in input text, or do not place it in output text. The reason for this is the lack of any clear, implementable theory of punctuation function suitable for transfer to the computational domain. The work described in this thesis aims to build on previous linguistic work on the function of punctuation, particularly that by Nunberg (1990),with experimental and theoretical investi- gations into the potential usefulness of including punctuation in natural language analyses, the variety of punctuation marks present in text, and the syntactic and semantic functions of those marks . Results from these investigations are combined into a taxonomy of punctuation marks and synthesised into a theory describing principles and rule schemata whereby punctuation functionality can be added to natural language processing systems. The thesis begins with some introductory chapters, discussing the nature of punctuation, its history, and previous approaches to theoretical description. Subsequent chapters describe the experimental and theoretical investigations into the potential uses of punctuation in compu- tational systems, the variety of punctuation marks used, and the syntactic and semantic functions thatpunctuation marks fulfil. Further chapters then construct a taxonomy of punctu- ation marks and describe the theory synthesised from the results of the investigations. The concluding chapters sum up the research and discuss its possible extension to languages other than English.

Punctuation in Swedish Upper Secondary School

Madsen, Emma January 2022 (has links)
Punctuation enhances the understanding and correct reading of written text by the use of spacing and conventional signs. When learning a language, the usage of correct punctuation is vital. This is especially important when learning a second language since punctuation rules vary between languages.  In Swedish schools, the teaching of English as a second language has shifted focus from a grammatically oriented method called ‘grammar translation method (GTM) to a more communicative approach which could have affected the students’ knowledge of grammar. Despite the importance of correct punctuation, there have been few studies addressing the subject in Sweden. Therefore, this essay aims to examine the knowledge and use of punctuation among students and teachers in Swedish schools. In order to meet the purpose of the essay, the method was divided into four parts: (a) student questionnaires, (b) teachers’ questionnaires, (c) analysis of students written texts and (d) analysis of second language acquisition learning materials. In total, 23 9th grade students and two teachers participated in the study. Nine different textbooks were analysed to examine how punctuation is addressed.  The results showed that there is a general lack of knowledge on the correct use of punctuation among the students as well as the teachers. Moreover, the students’ textbooks did not, in any form, address punctuation. The results were analysed and discussed in relation to previous research on punctuation as well as the essays theoretical framework. Finally, implications for practitioners and future research were provided. Recommendations for teachers are that they follow, to a greater extent, the curriculum and teach punctuation in Swedish upper secondary schools.  However, since there seems to be a lack of knowledge among teachers regarding the use of punctuations, the results of this essay highlight the importance of including punctuation in the textbooks provided to the students. / Skiljetecken förbättrar förståelsen och korrekt läsning av skriven text genom att använda mellanrum och konventionella tecken. När man lär sig ett språk är det viktigt att använda korrekta skiljetecken. Detta är särskilt viktigt när man lär sig ett andra språk eftersom reglerna för skiljetecken varierar mellan olika språk. I svenska skolor har undervisningen i engelska som andraspråk flyttat fokus från en grammatiskt orienterad metod som kallas "grammar translation method (GTM)" till ett mer kommunikativt förhållningssätt som kan ha påverkat elevernas kunskaper i grammatik. Trots betydelsen av korrekt användande av skiljetecken har det gjorts få studier som behandlar ämnet i Sverige. Därför syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka kunskapen om, och användningen av, skiljetecken bland elever och lärare i en svensk skola. För att möta syftet med uppsatsen delades metoden upp i fyra delar: (a) elevenkäter, (b) frågeformulär till lärare, (c) analys av elevernas skrivna texter och (d) analys av andraspråksinlärningsmaterial. Totalt deltog 23 elever i årskurs 9 och två lärare i studien. Nio olika läroböcker analyserades för att undersöka hur användande av skiljetecken hanteras. Resultaten visade att det råder en generell kunskapsbrist om korrekt användning av skiljetecken bland såväl elever som lärare. Dessutom behandlade elevernas läroböcker inte i någon form av skiljetecken. Resultaten analyserades och diskuterades i relation till tidigare forskning om användning av skiljetecken samt uppsatsens teoretiska ramverk. Slutligen gavs rekommendationer för praktiker och framtida forskning. En rekommendation till lärare är att de i högre grad följer läroplanen och lär ut skiljetecken i svenska gymnasieskolor. Men eftersom det tycks råda brist på kunskap bland lärare om användningen av skiljetecken, visar resultaten av denna uppsats vikten av att inkludera användning av skiljetecken i läroböckerna som eleverna använder.
