Grammaire comparée du français et du japonais parlés : phrase et sujetFukuda, Suzy E. January 1996 (has links)
The object of this thesis is to present a comprehensive analysis of the phrase structure and the properties of the subject in spoken French and Japanese. Consulting histories, grammars, and a corpus of transcribed speech from each language, a comparative examination of the oral codes of both languages is conducted, which highlights not only the significant distinctions between the two but also the similarities. These distinctions are not just the result of structural differences between the two languages, but are more that of a distinct classification of our experiences. By pointing out the distinguishing characteristics of the oral codes of the two languages, this study attempts to bring us to a better understanding of the two languages and equally of the cultures from which they are inseparable.

The speech act of advice in educational contexts in isiZuluNgcobo, Lazarus 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the communicative processes of advice in isiZulu through
which people aid each other with problems and stresses of daily life, including ways
in which support is communicated. When friends or family members attempt to help
one another with stress and problems, they frequently give advice.
Within the field of pragmatics, advice is a common but potentially face-threatening
response to a friend or a loved one who is upset about a problem. Consequently it is
useful to identify ways a speaker may show regard for face in this kind of episode.
Advice can threaten the hearer's autonomy by imposing the speaker's authority and
solutions on the hearer and it can also imply criticism of the hearer's emotional
reaction or handling of the problem.
In this study, twenty-one advice topics, by Goldsmith (2000) that can be used in
various troubles talk episodes in isiZulu have been examined. It has been found that
some advice situations have more topics than others. The situation with more advice
topics is the one referred to as personal. This is because people are always very
keen to give more advice to people with personal problems than to people with other
problems. The situations with the least number of topics are abuse and teachers,
because they are very sensitive in nature. The study found that the sensitivity comes
from the fact that third parties are involved. People tend to be reluctant to give advice
which might lead to confrontation between the parties that are involved. In this
research, the parties that are involved are learners on the one side and the
parents/teachers on the other side. The other factor is that people do not want to see
a parent who is abusing his/her child going to jailor a teacher who does not like a
particular child losing his/her job because of the advice they gave to the learners. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie fokus op die kommunikatiewe prosesse van advies in isiZulu waardeur
mense mekaar help met die probleme van die alledaagse lewe, insluitende die wyses
waarop steun gekommunikeer word. Wanneer vriende en familielede poog om
mekaar te help met probleme, gee hulle dikwels advies.
Binne die veld van die pragmatiek, is advies 'n algemene, maar potensiële gesigsbedreigende
('face-threatening') respons teenoor 'n vriend of geliefde wat 'n
probleem het. Gevolglik is dit nuttig om wyses te identifiseer waarop 'n spreker
ontsag mag toon vir gesig ('face') in hierdie soort episode. Advies kan die spreker se
outonomiteit bedreig deur die spreker se outoriteit en oplossings neer te druk op die
hoorder en dit kan ook kritiek impliseer van die hoorder se emosionele reaksie op
hantering van die probleem.
In hierdie studie word een-en-twintig advies episodes van Goldsmith (2000) wat
gebruik kan word in verskillende moeilikheidsgesprekke ('trouble talk') in isiZulu
ondersoek. Daar is bevind dat sommige advies situasies meer onderwerpe as ander
het. Die situasie met meer advies onderwerpe, is die persoonlike situasie. Die rede
hiervoor is dat mense altyd meer gretig is om advies te gee aan ander mense met
persoonlike probleme as aan mense met ander tipes probleme. Die situasies met die
minste getalonderwerpe is 'mishandeling' en 'onderwysers' omdat dit baie sensitiewe
onderwerpe is. Die studie bevind dat sensitiwiteit spruit uit die teenwoordigheid van 'n
derde party se betrokkenheid. Mense blyk onwillig te wees om advies te gee wat
mag lei tot konfrontasie tussen die partye betrokke. In hierdie navorsing, is die
betrokke partye leerders, enersyds, en ouers of onderwysers, andersyds. 'n Verdere
faktor is dat mense nie wil sien dat 'n ouer wat 'n kind mishandel na die gevangenis
gaan nie, of dat 'n onderwyser wat nie van 'n spesifieke kind hou sy/haar werk
verloor, weens die advies wat hulle aan die leerders gee nie.

The speech act of advice in educational contexts in SetswanaMogase, Emily Phuti 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines data from advice-giving in Setswana relating to pragmatic theorists'
argument that every human interaction, to a large extent carries with it an element of
threatening one or both participants' face. The speech act of politeness has been
identified as one of the most effective speech acts to be employed in giving as well as
soliciting advice. Every speech act is influenced by contextual, cultural and many other
background factors associated to age, gender and rank to mention a few, which contribute
towards how the speech is composed.
The issues relating to the theory of politeness prompted this study on the extent to which
politeness plays a role in giving advice in an educational context of Setswana speaking
students. The study has evaluated Brown and Levinsons' theory of politeness as a
universal phenomenon against the findings of my data, in that the universality of these
theorists does not quite fit with this study. The variable percentages in this data, especially
in giving advice, indicate that politeness does not always exist in terms of positive and
negative face in the participants' mind but other considerations related to the goal of the
speech act are the main source of the speech act.
In this study, politeness in the Setswana school context has demonstrated that politeness
has been employed as a strategy for encoding distance between the speaker and the
solicitor. The purpose of advising teachers and students through politeness behavior is to
mitigate face and to create a favorable context anticipated by the solicitor. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek data oor advies-gee in Setswana wat verband hou met
pragmatiekteoretici se argument dat elke menslike interaksie tot 'n groot mate 'n element
het dat een, of beide, deelnemers se gesig bedreig word. Die spraakhandeling van
beleefdheid is geïdentifiseer as een van die mees effektiewe spraakhandelinge wat
ingespan word in die gee, sowel as die vra van advies. Elke spraakhandeling word
beïnvloed deur kontekstuele, kulturele en talle ander agtergrondfaktore wat verband hou
met onder andere ouderdom, gender en rang, wat bydra tot die wyse waarop die
spraakhandeling saamgestel word.
Die vraagstukke rakende die beleefdheidsteorie het aanleiding gegee tot hierdie studie oor
die mate waartoe beleefdheid 'n rol speel in advies-gee in opvoedkundige kontekste deur
Setswana-sprekende persone. Die studie evalueer Brown en Levinson se teorie van die
Universele beginsels wat dit stel teenoor die bevindinge van die data verkry in die
navorsing oor Setswana-sprekende studente en daar word afgelei dat Brown en Levinson
se universalia nie volledig bevestig word nie. Die varieerbaarheid waargeneem ind ie data
oor advies-gee dui aan dat beleefdheid nie altyd manifisteer in terme van negatiewe gesig
in die deelnemers se oorwegings nie, maar dat ander oorwegings rakende die doelstelling
van die spraakhandeling die hoofbron vorm van die spraakhandeling.
In hierdie studie, het beleefdheid in die Setswana opvoedkundige konteks aangetoon dat
beleefdheid ingespan word as 'n strategie om afstand te vestig tussen die spreker en die
hoorder. Die doel van advies-gee aan onderwysers en studente deur beleefdheidsgedrag
is om 'n gunstige konteks te vestig, wat verwag word deur die hoorder.

Isenzo sentetho yokwala kumaziko emfundo esixhoseniMlandu, Mirriam Nozidima 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores the speech act of refusal in educational contexts in isiXhosa. The
speech utterance is used to accept or refuse request. The request can be made by a
friend, parent, school principal etc. The authority of the one making request is very
important because it makes the recipient of the request to think twice before he or she
refuses. This is done by the fact that the recipient is afraid to damage the face of the
requestor.
Secondly, the rights that people have make it difficult for the person in authority to use his
powers in a way that is not satisfactory, because people belong to unions that protect their
rights. For instance, the teacher requests leave because he wants to go and make
provisions for his son who is coming from the initiation school. In this regard, the principal
is unable to refuse fully although the exams are around the corner. He has to use certain
strategies in convincing the teacher about the importance of the forthcoming exams.
In the Department of education there is a district director and his team, responsible for
certain departments, the school inspectors, subject-advisors, school principals, teachers
and students. Each and every one of the above-mentioned has a right to make request.
Some of them resort into using politeness strategies when requesting or refusing to obey
the request. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die spraakhandeling van weiering in opvoedkundige kontekste in
isiXhosa. Die spraakuiting word gebruik om 'n versoek te aanvaar of te weier. Die versoek
kan gemaak word deur 'n vriend, ouer, skoolhoof, ens. Die gesag van die persoon wat die
versoek maak is baie belangrik, want dit veroorsaak dat die ontvanger van die versoek
deeglik dink voordat hy/sy dit weier. Dit word veroorsaak deurdat die ontvanger van die
versoek bang is om die gesig ('face') van die versoeker te beskadig.
Die regte wat mense het, maak dit moeilik vir die persoon met gesag om sy/haar magte te
gebruik op 'n wyse wat onbehoorlik is, want mense behoort aan vakbonde wat hulle regte
beskerm. Byvoorbeeld, 'n onderwyser versoek verlof want hy wil voorsorg gaan maak vir
sy seun wat terugkeer uit die inisiasieskool. In hierdie gval is die skoolhoof nie in staat om
die versoek volledig te weier nie, alhoewel die eksamens binnekort geskryf sal word. Die
skoolhoof gebruik sekere strategieë om die onderwyser te oortuig van die belangrikheid
van die eksamens.
In die Departement van Onderwys, is daar 'n distriksdirekteur en sy span, verantwoordelik
vir sekere departemente, die skoolinspekteurs, vakadviseurs, skoolhoofde, onderwysers
en leerders. Elkeen van die genoemde persone het die reg om versoeke te rig. Sommige persone maak gebruik van beleefdheidstrategieë in die weiering of reg van 'n versoek.

element van bedreiging vir een of beide deelnemers se gesig ('face'). Die spraakhandeling
van beleefdheid is geïdentifiseer as een van die mees effektiewe spraakhandelinge wat
gebruik word in die gee en vra van advies. Elke spraakhandeling word beïnvloed deur
kontekstuele kulturele en talle ander agtergrondfaktore wat verband hou met ouderdom,

rakende die teorie van beleefdheid het hierdie studie gemotiveer, wat handelaar die mate
waartoe beleefdheid 'n rol speel in adviesgewing in Tshivenda in opvoedkundige kontekste
deur leerders. Die studie het Brown en Levinson se teorie van beleefdheid aangewend en geevalueer
teenoor die bevindinge van die data van Tshivenda. Daar is bevind dat die
universaliteits-aansprake van Brown en Levinson nie volledig strook met die data uit
Tshivenda nie.
In hierdie studie, het beleefdheid in Tshivenda in skoolkontekste gedemonstreer dat dit
ingespan word om afstand te kodeer tussen spreker en hoorder. Die doel van adviesgewing
aan onderwysers en leerders deur beleefdheidsgedrag is om gesig te verminder en om 'n
gunstige konteks te skep, soos geantisipeer deur die adviesvraer.
