Émergence et problème corps-esprit : vers une caractérisation contemporaine de la notion d’émergence et de son application en sciences cognitives / Emergence and mind-body problem : about a contemporary definition of the notion of emergence and its application in cognitive sciences

Soubeyran, Anaïs 19 December 2012 (has links)
Dans la posture émergentiste classique et sa réinterprétation par les premières sciences cognitives, la notion d'émergence ne fait que traduire un consensus anti-réductionniste et n'a aucune véritable pertinence explicative. Pourtant aujourd'hui, les systèmes multi-agents en informatique et la théorie des systèmes dynamiques non linéaires en physique et en biologie, permettent d'ouvrir la «boîte noire» de l'émergence.Il devient possible de définir l'émergence non plus comme la survenance magique de propriétés ontologiquement irréductibles, mais comme la bifurcation dynamique d'un système vers une organisation macroscopique robuste computationnellement et fonctionnellement irréductible, c'est-à-dire non interprétable en termes des propriétés micro-causales du niveau de base. Les propriétés émergentes n'existent qu'en tant qu'elles sont fonctionnelles pour un détecteur de haut niveau.Si des systèmes physiques peuvent instancier des propriétés fonctionnellement irréductibles et relatives à un certain niveau de détection, alors l'irréductibilité fonctionnelle n'est par un argument contre le physicalisme, etil n'est plus possible d'affirmer qu'une propriété n'est pas fonctionnelle simplement parce que l'on ne parvient pas à la fonctionnaliser, puisque son impossible fonctionnalisation peut signifier que l'on ne se situe pas au bonniveau de détection. L'irréductibilité fonctionnelle des propriétés phénoménales ne serait donc pas un argument suffisant pour les exclure du domaine physique. La notion d'émergence ne permet pas de résoudre le problème corps-esprit, mais elle permet d'envisager qu'un tel « problème difficile » puisse survenir dans cadrephysicaliste. / In the classical emergentist position and its re-interpretation within the early cognitive sciences, the notion of emergence transposes only an anti-reductionist consensus and does not contain any pertinent explicative value. Yet today, as a consequence of the multi-agent systems in informatics along with dynamic non-linear theories in both physics and biology, the formerly dubious notion of emergence has become a relevant and informative concept.Emergence was defined as magic supervenience of ontologically irreducible properties. Today in contrast, one views the notion of emergence in terms of dynamic bifurcations to a robust macroscopic organization computationally and functionally irreducible, that is to say it can not be analyzed in terms of their micro-causal components. Emergent properties exist if and only if they are functional for a higher level of detection.This means that functional irreducibility is not an argument against physicalism, nor is it possible to state that a certain property is not functional simply because we are unable to give it a functional interpretation, for itmight signify that one is not situated within the correct level for its detection. The functional irreducibility of some phenomenal properties will not therefor be a sufficient argument to exclude them from the physical realm. The notion of emergence does not resolve the mind-body problem but it does permit considering that such a problem can occur within the physical world.

[en] ESTUDY DESCRITIVE OF THE USES OF CLITIC LHE IN FORMAL VARIETY PORTUGUESE / [pt] ESTUDO DESCRITIVO DOS USOS DO CLÍTICO LHE NA VARIEDADE FORMAL DO PORTUGUÊS

BRUNO DE ANDRADE RODRIGUES 28 August 2007 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho visou à descrição do comportamento sintático- discursivo do pronome clítico lhe na variedade formal da modalidade escrita do português. Preocupada com a investigação das propriedades sintáticas e semânticas da atualização do lhe, a análise assentou-se na devida separação entre os planos semântico e formal, os quais foram associados para efeito de determinação das funções sintático-discursivas desse pronome. A pesquisa, de cunho funcionalista, foi empreendida sob o pressuposto de que o chamado objeto indireto, variedade de dativo e função tipicamente exercida pelo pronome lhe, constitui uma função sintática heterogênea e não bem definida que recobre indevidamente, na gramática tradicional, outros usos de dativo. Assim, concluiu-se que o pronome lhe cumpre outras funções sintático-discursivas não contempladas na tradição e nos estudos mais recentes, que não podem ser reunidas sob o rótulo de objeto indireto. / [en] This work aimed the description of the syntactic- discursive behavior of the clitic pronoun lhe in the formal variety of the written Portuguese modality. Concerned with the investigation of the semantic and syntactic properties of the lhe utilization, the analysis focus on the very separation between the semantic and formal plans, which have been associated in order to determine the syntactic-discursive functions of this pronoun. Our research, of a functionalist basis, was done after the presupposition that the so called indirect object, variety of dative and function typically performed by the lhe pronoun, constitute a heterogeneous and not well defined syntactic function that covers unduly, in the traditional grammar, other dative uses. Therefore, we concluded that the lhe pronoun has got other syntactic- discursive functions pondered neither by the grammar tradition nor by the more recent studies, that can not be assembled under the same label of indirect object.

Leituras da modernidade no funcionamento radical: da teoria dos sistemas à pós-modernidade / Lectures on modernity in the radical functionalism: from system theory to pos-modernity.

Kassama, Alexandre Gonçalves 07 April 2015 (has links)
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar as bases sistêmicas do pensamento de Günther Jakobs, fazendo o cotejo com o pensamento teórico de Niklas Luhmann, sobretudo no tocante à polêmica teoria do Inimigo. Nesse passo, após uma breve digressão sobre a teoria dos sistemas de Luhmann, analisa-se a forma como a matriz sistêmica aporta no pensamento geral de Jakobs, sendo, em sequência, desenvolvido o pensamento inicial em relação à teoria da pena. Através da ligação radical entre a função da pena e a culpabilidade, verifica-se que os conceitos de acoplamento estrutural e encerramento operativo fornecem as bases para o desenvolvimento teórico da dogmática de Jakobs, sem, contudo, serem desenvolvidos até suas últimas consequências. Por fim, ante a comparação da teoria dos sistemas com os desenvolvimentos dogmáticos, analisa-se o quanto de Luhmann há em Jakobs, e o quanto ambas as teorias se distanciam, em especial, no tocante ao Direito Penal do Inimigo. / The present work aims to analyze the systemic basis of the thought of Günther Jakobs, making comparisons with the theoretical ideas of Niklas Luhmann, particularly with regard to the controversial Enemy´s Theory. In this step, after a brief digression on Luhmanns systems theory, we analyze how the system approach brings in the general thought of Jakobs, being, in sequence, developed the initial thought in relation to the penaltys theory. Through the radical connection between the penaltys function and culpability, we noted that the concepts of structural coupling and operational closure provide the foundation for the theoretical development of Jakobs dogmatic, without, however, being developed to their ultimate consequences. Finally, the comparison of the systems theory with the dogmatics development provides the analysis of how much Luhmann is there in Jakobs, and how long both theories depart, in particular, in regards the Enemy Criminal Law

A gramaticalização do item \"fora\" no Português do Brasil: a unidirecionalidade do processo / Grammaticalization of lexical item \"fora\" in portuguese of Brazil: the unidirectionality of process

Spaziani, Lidia 09 September 2008 (has links)
Num arcabouço teórico funcionalista que prioriza o estudo da língua em constante mudança a partir de seu uso (HALLIDAY, 1978), analisam-se as alterações gramaticais e semânticas de um item lexical que sofre gramaticalização no português do Brasil. O objetivo mais geral é avaliar a diferença existente entre os modelos de análises propostos por Lehmann (1982), Hopper (1991), Heine, Claudi e Hünnemeyer (1991) e Castilho (2006), quando aplicados a dados das modalidades falada e escrita. O item escolhido para proceder ao estudo é o item-fonte adverbial FORA, que revela um percurso unidirecional no processo de gramaticalização. Evidencia-se que a essa unidireção subjaz uma rota de abstratização funcional bastante intensa que culmina com sua recategorização em item gramatical. / In a theoretical functionalist framework, which prioritizes the study of the language in constant change from its use (HALLIDAY, 1978), it is analyzed the grammatical and semantic alterations on a lexical item that suffers grammaticalization in the Portuguese from Brazil. The most general objective is to evaluate the existing difference among the models of analyses considered by Lehmann (1982), Hopper (1991), Heine, Claudi and Hünnemeyer (1991) and Castilho (2006), when applied the data of the spoken and written modalities. The chosen item to proceed the study is the adverbial item-source FORA (out), that discloses a unidirectional passage in the grammaticalization process. It is evident that to this unidirection implies to a route of sufficiently intense functional abstraction that culminates with its recategorization in the grammatical item.

"Formas de tratamento no português brasileiro: a alternância tu/você na cidade de Santos - SP" / Pronouns of Address in Brazilian Portuguese: the alternance of tu/você in Santos - SP

Modesto, Artarxerxes Tiago Tacito 04 September 2006 (has links)
Esta pesquisa visa a descrever e explicar o uso das formas de tratamento tu e você em Santos, cidade do litoral do Estado de São Paulo, levando em consideração aspectos sociolingüísticos e pragmático-discursivos, que atuam na alternância destas formas. Há, segundo RAMOS (2001), dois pontos de vista que têm norteado as pesquisas sobre as formas de tratamento: um de natureza sócio-histórica, que leva em consideração o uso amplo de você como uma opção por um tratamento igualitário, e outro que trata o problema como um processo de mudança baseado na implementação da forma você com estatuto pronominal, que desta forma vem alterando a concordância e acarretando muitas mudanças no sistema pronominal a partir de meados dos séculos XIX. Assim, este trabalho apresenta um estudo quantitativo das formas de tratamento tu e você em Santos, buscando os fatores relevantes para a primeira das duas abordagens sugeridas, além de fazer algumas considerações acerca da segunda abordagem. Com o suporte da metodologia da Sociolingüística Variacionista Laboviana, busca-se explicitar até que ponto as diferentes situações interacionais levam os falantes a escolherem uma ou outra forma pronominal. Constituem o corpus analisado 20 inquéritos correspondentes a textos conversacionais realizados entre falantes santistas. Em outras palavras, busca-se verificar em que medida fatores discursivos (referenciação, expressividade,monitoramento), ao lado dos fatores sociais (gênero, faixa etária, escolaridade dos informantes) e um lingüístico (função sintática da forma de tratamento), podem explicar o fenômeno. Adota-se, por conseguinte, uma perspectiva funcionalista de análise, já que se leva em conta toda a situação comunicativa: o propósito do evento da fala, seus participantes e o contexto discursivo. / This research aims to describe and explain the ways of address “tu" and “você" in Santos, city of the coast of São Paulo, considering sociolinguistic and pragmatic discursive aspects that act on the alternation of these forms. There is, according to RAMOS(2001), two points of view that have lead the researches on the ways of address: one of socio- historical nature, that considers the ample use of “você" as an option for equalitarian treatment, and another one that sees the problem as a change in process problem, based on the implementation of the form “você" with a pronominal statute, causing by this way modifications in the concordance and provocating many changes in the pronominal system since the middle of the XIX centuries. Therefore, this work presents a quantitative study of the ways of address “tu" and “você" in Santos, looking for the relevant factors presented by the first of these two approaches above, but it makes some considerations about the second approach too. Supported by the Labovian Variacionist Sociolinguistic Methodology, it looks to explicit how the different interacional situations lead the speakers to select one or another pronominal form. The corpus is composed by 20 recordings of santistas speakers conversations. By other words, it looks for verifying how the discursive factors (referentiation, expressivity, monitoring), sided by social factors (gender, age, scholarship of the speakers) and a linguistic factor (syntactic function of the ways of address), can explain the phenomena. It takes, therefore, a functionalist perspective of analysis, because it considers all the communicative situation: the speaking event proposal, its participants and the discursive context.

Estruturas serializadas no português do Brasil: a gramaticalização de vir e virar e sua identificação como verbo serial / Serial structures in protuguese of Brazil

Bernardo, Kelly Viviane 29 August 2008 (has links)
No presente trabalho, analiso o comportamento funcional dos verbos vir e virar, no português brasileiro contemporâneo, desde a sua atuação em estruturas simples à formação de estruturas complexas. Desenvolvida sob o paradigma do funcionalismo lingüístico, esta dissertação baseiase em dados de língua falada, coletados a partir do banco de dados do projeto PEUL e NURC. A fim de sustentar a hipótese que permeia o objetivo deste trabalho, também foram coletados dados de língua escrita e falada através do mecanismo de busca Google e, também, do corpusdoportugues.org. A partir da amostra constituída, verifico a possibilidade de derivação de um uso a outro, os quais são organizados em padrões funcionais. Desta forma, são demonstrados casos em que, à medida que novas estruturas são colocadas em uso, os verbos, em análise, apresentam, gradativamente, um desgaste semântico, seguindo, assim, uma linha unidirecional de desenvolvimento. Em oposição aos estudos de gramaticalização que, segundo os autores, visam a um percurso unilinear quanto ao desenvolvimento de um léxico em que podemos reconhecer pontos e estabelecer derivações entre esses pontos, testo a validade da teoria multissitêmica, que nega o processo de derivação. As discussões tecidas culminam com a formulação de questionamento relativo à direção de mudança assumida pelos itens: vir e virar percorreriam um caminho unidirecional ou multidirecional de desenvolvimento? Apresento, então, evidências de que ao mesmo tempo em que há a derivação, apresentando, assim, um desgaste gradativo de desenvolvimento, há também a simultaneidade de processos. Ainda, com base nos dados expostos, observo o uso de uma estrutura que permanece fora do âmbito da literatura lingüística. Tratase das estruturas que apresentam seqüências verbais, aqui rotuladas de serialização verbal, em que o verbo que ocupa a primeira posição da sentença apresentase quase ou totalmente dessemantizado, podendo assumir uma categorização sintática de VERBOS QUASESERIAIS ou de VERBOS SERIAIS. / In the present work, I analyze the functional behavior of the verbs to come (VIR) and to turn (VIRAR), in the contemporary Brazilian Portuguese, from their performance in simple structures to the formation of complex structures. This dissertation is developed under the paradigm of the linguistic functionalism and it is based on data from spoken language, these were collected from the data base of PEUL and NURC projects. In order to support the hypothesis that permeates the aim of this work, there had been also collected from the written and spoken language through the mechanism of Google search and, also, corpusdoportugues.org. I verify the possibility of derivation between one use or another when facing the collected samples, which are organized in functional standards. In such a way, cases are demonstrated where to the measure that new structures are placed in use, the analyzed verbs present semantic erosion in a gradual way, thus following a unidirectional line of development. In opposition to the grammaticalization studies that, according to authors, they aim a unidirectional route about the development of a lexicon, that is a representation through a line, in which we can recognize points and establish derivations among these points, I test the validity of the multissistemic theory when denying the derivation process. The studies point to an unknown/incognito formation presents among the investigated theories in this work: would to come (VIR) and to turn (VIRAR) go through a unidirectional or multidirectional way of development? In accordance with the achieved occurrences/tokens, I notice that at the same time where it has the hypothesis of that a use has derived from another one, presenting, then, a development gradual erosion, there also. Still, based on the displayed data, I observe the use of a structure that remains outside of the scope of linguistic literature. These structures are formed from a minimum sequence of V1 and V2, in which V1 corresponds to one of the verbs to come (VIR) and to turn (VIRAR) and V2 is relatively free. In this work, these types of constructions are dealt with as a verbal case of 6 serialization, and V1 is presented almost or total dessemanticized, which assumes a syntactic categorization of ALMOSTSERIAIS VERBS or SERIAL VERBS.
