This microanalytic study focuses on the mutimodal word look-up practices of Japanese foreign language learners of English at the novice level using electronic dictionaries (e-dictionaries) in pair conversations. Not yet investigated with a Conversation Analysis (CA) approach, this analysis examines reoccurring interactional and collaborative repair practices (Schegloff, Jefferson, & Sacks, 1977; Schegloff, 2000) of the learners' look-ups, and explicates from the sequential turn-taking procedures (Sacks, Schegloff, & Jefferson, 1974), the underlying social organization of the e-dictionary look-up sequence. Recent research has found that not-yet-fluent learners are capable of relatively smooth turn-taking (Carroll, 2000, 2004), and they employ various embodied actions (Olsher, 2004) to complete their turns. Nonvocal resources such as gaze movement (Goodwin, 1981) and gestures were also investigated in order to better understand how learners collaboratively utilize vocal and nonvocal resources in hybrid actions, to co-construct the meaning of look-up words, and maintain intersubjectivity. While enrolled in a university intensive English program, thirteen native speakers of Japanese video-recorded thirty-minute conversations; and during these conversations, they completed look-up sequences as interactional achievements. The results indicated that EFL novice learners display sophisticated competencies when using e-dictionaries for communication. While collaboratively completing look-up sequences, they display multimodal competencies by noticing trouble with words, initiating look-ups, making candidate proposals of word translations, correcting themselves, mutually acknowledging their understanding, and maintaining intersubjectivity and sequential relevance. In terms of language learning, learners' collaborative learning of words demonstrates instances of learning-as-interaction (Brouwer & Wagner, 2004; Firth & Wagner, 2007), making public the participants' socially situated cognition. Indications of a change in the participants' cognitive state can emerge in the look-up sequential organization. A lack of knowledge is displayed publically in before-look-up actions, encouraging collaboration in the look-up. Multiple proposals and acknowledgement sequences, often displayed in embodied expansions, provide multimodal indications of a possible change in cognitive state and possible gain in knowledge. Thus, the look-up sequence organization is proposed as an interactional organization for the learning of vocabulary. Finally, the understanding of sequential structures and practices that interactants use in looking up words can inform teachers concerning the efficacy of e-dictionary use in the classroom. / CITE/Language Arts

O dicionário onomasiológico caracteriza-se por permitir a busca de uma unidade lexical ou terminológica a partir de seu conteúdo semântico. Constituímos um corpus de especialidade e um corpus de língua geral com o auxílio do programa computacional WordSmith Tools. A metodologia terminológica foi norteada pela Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia, que nos auxiliou nas reflexões quanto as diferenças terminológicas existentes entre os dois idiomas estudados. As principais referências metodológicas, que guiaram nossas buscas pelos equivalentes lexicais, foram Felber (1984), Dubuc (1985), Alpizar-Castillo (1995), Cabré (1993, 1999), Berber Sardinha (2001), Barros (2004), Babini (2001a, 2001b). Nosso modelo de dicionário permite dois tipos de pesquisa: semasiológica e onomasiológica. A busca onomasiológica é viabilizada pelo conjunto de semas ou traços semânticos que compõe o conceito de cada termo do dicionário. Foram utilizados o aplicativo MS Access, o gerenciador de banco de dados MySQL e a linguagem de programação PHP. / The present thesis majorly aims at applying a bilingual onomasiological terminological dictionary model, proposed by Babini (2001), so as to develop an English-Portuguese and Portuguese-English electronic dictionary of the fundamental terms of the Artificial Neural Networks. The onomasiological dictionary allows the search of a lexical or terminological unit from its semantic content. We constituted a specialty corpus and a general language corpus with the aid of the computational program WordSmith Tools. The methodological approach was guided by the Communicative Terminology Theory, which allowed us to identify the existing differences among the languages studied. The main methodological basis, which guided our search for lexical equivalent, were Felber (1984), Dubuc (1985), Alpizar- Castillo (1995), Cabré (1993, 1999), Berber-Sardinha (2001), Barros (2004), Babini (2001a, 2001b). Our dictionary model allows two types of search: semasiological and onomasiological. The onomasiological search is made viable by a set of semantic traits that make up the concept of each term in the dictionary. The following computational resources were used: MS Access software, the MySQL database management system and the PHP programming language.

Le traitement automatique de la langue quechua (TALQ) ne dispose pas actuellement d'un dictionnaire électronique des verbes, du français-quechua. Pourtant, un projet visant la traduction automatique nécessite au préalable, entre autres, cette importante ressource.Cette thèse consiste à élaborer un dictionnaire électronique français-quechua des verbes. La réalisation d'un tel dictionnaire peut ouvrir également de nouvelles perspectives dans l'enseignement à distance, dans les domaines de l'accès multilingue aux informations, l'annotation/l'indexation des documents, la correction orthographique et pour le TAL en général. La première difficulté consiste à sélectionner un dictionnaire français comme base de travail. Parmi les nombreux dictionnaires français, il en existe très peu en format électronique, et moins encore ceux dont les sources soient en libre accès au public. Parmi ces derniers, l'ouvrage Les verbes français (LVF), contenant 25 610 sens verbaux, que Jean Dubois et Françoise Dubois-Charlier ont publié chez Larousse en 1997, est un dictionnaire particulièrement complet ; de plus il a l 'avantage d'avoir une licence « open source » et un format compatible avec la plateforme NooJ. En tenant en compte ces considérations nous avons choisi traduire ce dictionnaire en quechua.Cependant, cette tâche se heurte à un obstacle considérable : le lexique quechua de verbes simples compte moins de l 500 entrées. Comment faire correspondre 25 610 sens verbaux français avec seulement 1 500 verbes quechua ?Sommes-nous condamnés à utiliser beaucoup de polysémies? Par exemple, dans LVF il y a 27 sens verbaux du verbe « tourner » ; doit-on tous les traduire par muyuy ? Ou bien, pouvons-nous utiliser une stratégie particulière et remarquable de la langue pour répondre à ce défi : la génération de nouveaux verbes par dérivation suffixale ?Nous avons inventorié tous les suffixes du quechua qui permettent d'obtenir une forme dérivée possédant le comportement d'un verbe simple. Cet ensemble de suffixes que nous appelons SIP_DRV, contient 27 éléments. Ainsi chaque verbe quechua transitif ou intransitif donne naissance à au moins 27 verbes dérivés. Il reste cependant à formaliser les paradigmes et grammaires qui vont nous permettre d'obtenir les dérivations compatibles avec la morphosyntaxe de la langue. Cela a été réalisé avec NooJ.L'application de ces grammaires nous a permis d'obtenir 40 500 unités linguistiques conjugables (ULAV) à partir de 1 500 verbes simples quechua. Ce résultat encourageant nous permet d'envisager une solution favorable à notre projet de traduction des 25 000 sens verbaux du français en quechua.À ce stade, une nouvelle difficulté apparaît : la traduction en français de cette quantité énorme des formes verbales conjugables générées, dont sa résolution est essentielle pour notre projet de traduire une partie importante des vingt-cinq mille verbes français en quechua.Afin d'obtenir la traduction de ces ULAV, nous avons besoin d'abord de connaître la modalité d'énonciation qu'apporte chaque SIP quand il s'agglutine au radical verbal pour le transformer. Chaque suffixe peut avoir plusieurs modalités d'énonciation. Nous les avons obtenus à partir du corpus, de notre propre expérience et quelques enregistrements dans le terrain. Nous avons ainsi construit un tableau indexé contenant toutes ces modalités. Ensuite, nous utilisons des opérateurs de NooJ pour programmer les grammaires qui présentent la traduction automatique en une forme glosés de modalités d'énonciation.Finalement, nous avons développé un algorithme qui nous a permis d'obtenir la traduction réciproque du français vers le quechua de plus de 8 500 sens verbaux de niveau 3 et un certain nombre de sens verbaux de niveau 4 et 5. / The automatic processing of the Quechua language (APQL) lacks an electronic dictionary of French­ Quechua verbs. However, any NLP project requires this important linguistic resource.The present thesis proposes such a dictionary. The realization of such a resource couId also open new perspectives on different domains such as multilingual access to information, distance learning,inthe areas of annotation /indexing of documents, spelling correction and eventually in machine translation.The first challenge was the choice of the French dictionary which would be used as our basic reference. Among the numerous French dictionaries, there are very few which are presented in an electronic format, and even less that may be used as an open source. Among the latter, we found the dictionary Les verbes français (LVF}, of Jean Dubois and Françoise Dubois-Charlier, edited by Larousse en 1997. lt is a remarkably complete dictionary. lt contains 25 610 verbal senses and with open source license. lt is entirely compatible with the Nooj platform. That's why we have chosen this dictionary to be the one to translate into Quechua.However, this task faces a considerable obstacle: the Quechua lexicon of simple verbs contains around 1,500 entries. How to match 25,610 French verbal senses with only 1,500 Quechua verbs?Are we condemned to produce many polysemies? For example, in LVF, we have 27 verbal senses of the verb "tourner" to turn; should we translate them all by the Quechua verb muyuy to turn? Or, can we make use of a particular and remarkable Quechua strategy that may allow us to face thischallenge: the generation of new verbs by suffix derivation?As a first step, we have inventoried ail the Quechua suffixes that make possible to obtain a derived verbal form which behaves as if it was a simple verb. This set of suffixes, which we call IPS_DRV, contains 27 elements. Thus each Quechua verb, transitive or intransitive, gives rise to at least 27 derived verbs. Next, we need to formalize the paradigms and grammars that will allow us to obtain derivations compatible with the morphology of the language. This was done with the help of the NooJ platform.The application of these grammars allowed us to obtain 40,500 conjugable atomic linguistic units (CALU) out of 1,500 simple Quechua verbs. This encouraging first result allows us to hope to get a favorable solution to our project of translation of the 25,000 verbal senses of French into Quechua.At this point, a new difficulty appears: the translation into French of this enormous quantity of generated conjugable verbal forms. This work is essential if we want to obtain the translation of a large part of the twenty-five thousand French verbs into Quechua. ln order to obtain the translation of these CALUs, we first needed to know the modalities of enunciation that each IPS have and transmits to the verbal radical when it is agglutinated to it. Each suffix can have several modalities of enunciation. We have obtained an inventory of them from the corpus, our own experience and some recordings obtained in fieldwork. We constructed an indexed table containing all of these modalities.Next, we used NooJ operators to program grammars that present automatic translation into a glossed form of enunciation modalities.Finally, we developed an algorithm that allowed us to obtain the reciprocal translation from French to Quechua of more than 8,500 Verbal senses of Level 3 and a number of verbal senses of Levels 4 and 5.

O dicionário foi estruturado a partir dos postulados da Semântica de Frames (FILLMORE, 1982, 1985) e da metodologia específica da rede semântica FrameNet (RUPPENHOFFER ET AL., 2010). A partir disso, buscou-se implementar a relação de Tradução no banco de dados da FrameNet Brasil, utilizando os frames como representações semânticas interlinguísticas transculturais nos domínios específicos do dicionário Copa 2014 (GAMONAL, 2013). Nessa direção, como contribuição para este projeto, o escopo desta pesquisa se concentrou em verificar se o frame secundário da experiência turística seria o mesmo entre duas das línguas cobertas pelo Copa 2014: o português e o espanhol. Como o domínio do Turismo toma empréstimos lexicais de outras áreas (CALVI, 2010), permeados por projeções metafóricas, recorreu-se ao aporte teórico da Mesclagem (Blending) (FAUCONNIER, 1994,1997), em especial, a integração conceptual de escopo duplo, como instrumento de análise para o mapeamento dos elementos de frame nucleares que compõem os diferentes domínios cognitivos. Parte-se da hipótese de que os frames secundários que fornecem o empréstimo linguístico para o domínio do Turismo nem sempre são os mesmos para as duas línguas. Desse modo, a etapa de análise das anotações lexicográficas, obtidas em corpora paralelos, possibilitou contrastar as valências sintático-semânticas das unidades lexicais que evocam os frames relacionados às três perspectivas do Turismo_de_atração. Os resultados obtidos mostram que, nesse domínio, alguns cognatos não são empregados como correspondentes aos termos do português. Assim, as análises propostas auxiliaram na seleção de equivalentes de tradução que mais se assemelhem ao uso do falante nativo. / This thesis is part of the COPA 2014 FrameNet Brasil project (SALOMÃO ET AL., 2011), whose aim was the creation of a trilingual electronic dictionary covering the domains of Tourism, Soccer and the World Cup. The project was developed in collaboration with the FrameCorp project (CHISHMAN ET AL., 2008) and the International Computer Sciences Institute. The dictionary structure derives from the theoretical foundations of Frame Semantics (FILLMORE, 1982, 1985) and is based on FrameNet‟s methodology (RUPPENHOFFER ET AL., 2010). A Translation frame-to-frame relation was implemented in the FrameNet Brasil database, relying on frames as cross-cultural interlingual representations for the specific domains of the Copa 2014 dictionary (GAMONAL, 2013). The main contribution of this thesis to the project is that of analyzing whether secondary frames structuring the touristic experience were the same in two of the languages covered by the dictionary: Portuguese and Spanish. Because the language of Tourism uses vocabulary that is metaphorically grounded on other domains (CALVI, 2010), we deploy conceptual integration networks (Blending) (FAUCONNIER, 1994, 1997) as a means of analyzing how the frame elements structuring those domains are mapped to each other. Our hypothesis is that secondary frames involved in the language of Tourism are not always the same for the two languages. Such a hypothesis was confirmed through the analysis of the lexicographic annotations produced for the three perspectives of the Attraction_tourism frame. Those annotations derive from parallel corpora and yield the synctatic and semantic valences of the lexical units evoking the tourism frames. The analysis proposed contributes to the selection of translation equivalents that represent better the way native speakers of the Portuguese and Spanish refer to the touristic experience.

Cette recherche vise à mieux comprendre comment certain·e·s enseignant·e·s de français du secondaire forment leurs élèves à utiliser le dictionnaire électronique en classe en décrivant, d’une part, les savoirs et les savoir-faire liés à son utilisation qui font l’objet d’un enseignement en classe et, d’autre part, les pratiques relatives à l’enseignement de ces savoirs et savoir-faire. Pour parvenir à nos objectifs, nous avons mené des entrevues avec huit enseignant·e·s, qui ont également noté dans un journal de bord, pendant un mois, les activités ou les interventions sollicitant l’utilisation du dictionnaire électronique qu’ils·elles ont réalisées en classe. À la lumière de notre analyse des données, nous avons tracé le portrait des pratiques d’enseignement de chaque enseignant·e, et une comparaison des similitudes et des différences entre les portraits nous a ensuite permis de relever trois profils distincts de pratiques dont le but est de former les élèves à l’utilisation du dictionnaire électronique : 1) l’enseignement spontané, axé sur quelques éléments liés à son utilisation, 2) l’enseignement planifié en début d’année et spontané ensuite, axé sur une plus grande variété d’éléments et, enfin, 3) l’enseignement planifié régulier, qui intègre lui aussi une grande variété d’éléments liés à l’utilisation du dictionnaire électronique, mais qui comprend également des savoirs qui relèvent spécifiquement de l’usage du format électronique. Il ressort de notre étude que l’intégration d’un outil comme le dictionnaire électronique dans les pratiques d’enseignement est un processus long et complexe, et que la richesse des dictionnaires mis à la disposition des enseignant·e·s n’est pas garante d’un enseignement plus riche ou plus varié. À ce titre, nous pensons qu’une formation portant sur l’utilisation du dictionnaire électronique pourrait être utile aux enseignant·e·s en exercice de même qu’aux futurs·e·s enseignant·e·s, car elle leur permettrait de se familiariser avec son utilisation à titre personnel d’abord, une étape essentielle à l’intégration du DÉ dans les pratiques d’enseignement, et à titre pédagogique ensuite. / This research aims to better understand how some French secondary school teachers train their students to use the electronic dictionary in class by determining the knowledge and skills related to its use that are the subject of classroom teaching and by describing the practices related to the teaching of these dictionary skills. To achieve our goals, we conducted interviews with eight teachers, who also noted in a diary, for a month, the activities or interventions requiring the use of the electronic dictionary that they carried out in class. In the light of our data analysis, we drew a portrait of the teaching practices of each teacher, and a comparison of the similarities and differences between the portraits then enabled us to identify three distinct profiles of practices whose goal is to train students to use the electronic dictionary: 1) spontaneous teaching, focusing on a few elements related to its use, 2) teaching planned at the start of the year and spontaneous thereafter, focusing on a greater variety of elements and, finally, 3) regular planned teaching, which also incorporates a wide variety of elements related to the use of the electronic dictionary, but which also includes knowledge that relates specifically to the use of the electronic format. Our study shows that the integration of a tool such as the electronic dictionary into teaching practices is a long and complex process, and that the wealth of dictionaries made available to teachers does not guarantee richer or better teaching. As such, we believe that training on the use of electronic dictionary could be useful for practicing teachers as well as future teachers, because it would allow them to become more familiar with its use in a personal capacity first, and then for educational purposes.
