A vast array of computer-based simulation tools are used to support engineering design and analysis activities. Several such activities call for the simulation of various coupled sub-systems in parallel, typically to study the emergent behavior of large, complex systems. Most sub-systems have their own simulation models associated with them, which need to interoperate with each other in a federated fashion to simulate system-level behavior. The run-time exchange of information between federate simulations requires a common information model that defines the representation of simulation concepts shared between federates. However, most federate simulations employ disparate representations of shared concepts. Therefore, it is often necessary to implement transformation stubs that convert concepts between their common representation to those used in federate simulations. The tasks of defining a common representation for shared simulation concepts and building translation stubs around them adds to the cost of performing a system-level simulation. In this thesis, a framework to support automation and reuse in the process of achieving interoperability between federate simulations is developed. This framework uses ontologies as a means to capture the semantics of different simulation concepts shared in a federation in a formal, reusable fashion. Using these semantics, a common representation for shared simulation entities, and a corresponding set of transformation stubs to convert entities from their federate to common representations (and vice-versa) are derived automatically. As a foundation to this framework, a schema to enable the capture of simulation concepts in an ontology is specified. Also, a graph-based algorithm is developed to extract the appropriate common information model and transformation procedures between federate and common simulation entities. As a proof of concept, this framework is applied to support the development of a federated air traffic simulation. To progress with the design of an airport, the combined operation of its individual systems (air traffic control, ground traffic control, and ground-based aircraft services) in handling varying volumes of aircraft traffic is to be studied. To do so, the individual simulation models corresponding to the different sub-systems of the airport need to be federated, for which the ontology-based framework is applied.

La présente thèse est une étude approfondie de la productivité des noms composés français N-N, A-N, N-A et N-de-N du XVIIe au début du XXe siècle. La productivité morphologique des mots composés demeure un domaine très peu exploré, surtout en français. Les études antérieures sur la dérivation utilisent principalement la mesure de productivité basée sur les hapax, soulevant la question de savoir si l’application d’une seule méthode est suffisamment fiable pour évaluer la productivité en composition. Dans cette thèse, la productivité des composés est calculée au moyen de trois mesures différentes : la mesure P basée sur les hapax (Baayen et Lieber 1991; Baayen 1992), la taille catégorielle de la famille morphologique (Baayen et Hay 2002) et la fréquence relative (Hay 2003). En outre, la productivité est analysée en tenant compte de la position de la tête morphologique et l’aspect régulier/irrégulier du composé. Je cherche à vérifier quatre hypothèses : 1) les composés réguliers sont plus productifs que les irréguliers ; 2) les N-N et N-de-N sont les types les plus productifs ; 3) il existe une corrélation inverse entre la productivité P et la fréquence relative ; 4) il existe une corrélation inverse entre la productivité P et la taille catégorielle de la famille morphologique. Les hypothèses #1 et #4 sont confirmées par les résultats obtenus : les formes régulières exocentriques sont les plus productives et le taux de productivité le plus élevée coïncide avec la taille catégorielle la plus basse. L’hypothèse #2 a été appuyée partiellement à cause de données lacunaires pour le type N-de-N. Toutefois, la corrélation inverse entre la productivité et la fréquence relative n’est pas confirmée en composition. La thèse a apporté plusieurs contributions : l’étude diachronique de productivité en composition, l’utilisation de différentes méthodes statistiques et un corpus original de composés français qui comporte 15 types différents.

En este estudio, mostraremos principalmente la importancia que las imágenes formadas por los componentes fraseológicos pueden adquirir desde un punto de vista no sólo puramente lingüístico, sino también psicolingüístico si se contempla el posible carácter analizable y transparente de muchas EI. Explicaremos cómo se puede utilizar esta iconicidad para fomentar el desarrollo de estrategias de aprendizaje (especialmente vinculadas a la descodificación metafórica o a la asociación icónica con expresiones de la LM) que suponen para el alumno un alto grado de implicación cognitiva. Teniendo en cuenta dos factores importantes para la memorización de nuevas EI -su grado de transparencia semántica y su grado de conexión icónica con la LM-, propondremos en un apartado experimental investigar acerca del impacto memorístico e interlingüístico que se puede atribuir al trabajo de enfoque icónico y verificar la influencia que la combinación de los dos factores citados puede ejercer en este ámbito. / This study will mainly show how important the images formed by the phraseological components could be from not only a merely linguistic point of view but also from a psycholinguistic one, if we consider the possible analyzable and transparent nature of most idioms. We will explain how to use this iconic aspect of idioms in order to encourage the development of learning strategies (especially related to the metaphorical decodification or to the iconic association with L1 idioms) that involve a high degree of cognitive implication for the L2 learner. Considering two important factors for the memorization of L2 idioms - its degree of semantic transparency and its degree of iconic connection with the L1 -, we propose, in an experimental part, to investigate the memory and interlinguistic effects of an image-oriented work and to verify the influence that the combination of the two factors mentioned before could have in this field.

Il est très important d’indiquer les relations analogiques ou synonymiques existantes entre de différentes expressions idiomatiques qui concernent un seul concept. Nous remarquons que malgré la similarité conceptuelle entre plusieurs expressions, celles-ci ont des nuances différenciatrices régies par l’usage. / Neste trabalho, de cunho essencialmente lexicográfico, privilegia-se a linguagem do dia-a-dia para propor um modelo de dicionário de expressões idiomáticas do português do Brasil, sob uma perspectiva onomasiológica. É extremamente importante indicar as relações analógicas ou sinonímicas existentes entre os diferentes idiomatismos que se referem a um mesmo conceito. Observa-se que, embora muitas expressões relacionadas a um mesmo conceito sejam basicamente sinônimas, os idiomatismos possuem nuanças diferenciadoras que regem seu uso. / In this work, with an essentially lexicographic feature, focused on the current language in order to present a model for a Brazilian Portuguese idiom dictionary from an onomasiologic view. It is extremely important to display the analogous or synonymy relations between the idioms which belong to the same fields. We were able to verify that, although many idioms subsumed under the same concept are basically synonyms, their use is governed by the nuances that distinguish them.

Como corpus de pesquisa elaboramos o MVM 4 composto pelas obras em espanhol, Milenio Carvalho I. Rumbo a Kabul e Milenio Carvalho II. Rumbo a las antípodas de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán e sua tradução para o português Milênio. Tendo como base a Lexicologia e a Pragmática, nosso estudo foi fundamentado no contexto do romance policial em que as lexias tabus foram encontradas. Assim, para o levantamento das unidades lexicais tabus (ULTs) utilizamos o método manual, dado que se fez necessário compreender o âmbito em que a lexia está inserida para que fosse possível classificá-la em uma das esferas de motivação de uso propostas. Desse modo, a análise das ULTs, iniciou-se após a separação das lexias conforme as cinco esferas de motivação de uso, de maneira que pudéssemos estabelecer uma relação entre as obras em espanhol e sua respectiva tradução para o português, atentando para as relações eufemísticas e disfemísticas presentes na tradução. Com foco nas ULTs e com base no modelo de divisão por esferas, proposto por Simão e Seregati (2016), foram examinadas as motivações de uso mais frequentes das ULTs, os recursos eufemísticos e disfemísticos utilizados na tradução das lexias tabu, as relações entre os eufemismos e os disfemismos e as esferas em que estão inseridas e, por fim, discutimos e propusemos a ampliação do modelo de divisão por esferas proposto por Simão e Seregati (2016). / This research aims to study the taboo lexicon in detective novels in order to observe and analyze the incidence of pragmatics factors in the translation (SpanishPortuguese) of simple and complex words, specifically the ones that are considered linguistic taboos. For this purpose, the MVM 4 has been created as a research corpus, being composed by the Brazilian Portuguese translation of the following Manuel Vázquez Montalbán's works: Milenio Carvalho I. Rumbo a Kabul and Milenio Carvalho II. Rumbo a las antípodas. Based on Lexicology and Pragmatics, this study was founded on the context of the detective novel in which the taboo lexicons were observed. Thus, a manual method was used for the taboo lexicons (ULTs) assessment, since it was necessary to understand the scope in which the lexicon was inserted, so that it could be classified in one of the proposed categories. Therefore, the analysis of the ULTs began after the lexicons were classified according to the taboo lexicon division of the use motives into five categories and in such a way that a relation between the novels in Spanish and their respective translations in Portuguese was established, highlighting the euphemistic and dysphemistic relations in the translation. Focusing on the ULTs and based on the division model proposed by Simão and Seregati (2016), the most frequent motives for the use of ULTs have been investigated, as well as the euphemistic and dysphemistic strategies used in the translation of taboo lexicons, the relation between euphemisms and dysphemism, and the categories in which they are inserted. And finally, after a discussion, an increase of the motives division model proposed by Simão and Seregati (2016).
