Cette thèse se propose d'étudier la présence et la fonction des insertions dialectales dans les oeuvres littéraires italiennes contemporaines. Se focalisant sur les genres narratifs (prose et nouvelle) où le phénomène du plurilinguisme est le plus marqué, l'étude se concentre sur quatre auteurs (Andrea Camilleri, Salvatore Niffoi, Laura Pariani et Andrej Longo) chez qui le mélange vernaculaire / italien est le plus représentatif. Après avoir évoqué la situation linguistique particulière de l'Italie, ce travail de recherche analyse cette langue mêlant deux systèmes linguistiques différents sous lřangle de la traduction pour pouvoir dresser un parallèle entre les situations italienne et française. C'est le problème de la restitution de la langue mêlée, laquelle renvoie à un ancrage culturel et géographique très fort, qui est au centre de cette étude. Elle interroge la possibilité d'une recréation du même effet de lecture dans une culture cible qui ne connaît pas la même situation de diglossie. Nous voulons toutefois montrer, par l'analyse des traductions existantes, que le recours à un parler régional hexagonal peut être à même de restituer l'effet de défamiliarisation provoqué à la lecture des textes sources. / This PhD thesis examines Italian contemporary literary works (novels and short stories) in which dialect is used as a linguistic variety in combination with the national Italian idiom. The analysis is conducted through the works of four Italian writers, in which multilingualism is particularly significant: Andrea Camilleri, Salvatore Niffoi, Laura Pariani and Andrej Longo. Taking into account the complex linguistic situation of Italy, the thesis focuses on the translation of these works characterized by the co-existence of two different linguistic systems. Through an examination of the colourful mixture of linguistic varieties and the function of dialect in these contemporary texts, the thesis aims to make a contribution to the field of Translation Studies and of History of modern and contemporary Italian Literature (examining in particular linguistic and stylistic aspects). It begs the question of the reproducibility of the linguistic mosaic created by these Italian authors in their French translations. Translation of dialect and linguistic varieties, intended as a non-standard language usage in contemporary Italian literature, represents a challenge for countries (in this case France) in which diglossia has disappeared. However, the author argues that the use of certain regional French dialects enables to recreate the defamiliarization effect of the original Italian texts.

Theoretical aspects of vocabulary variability in American Spanish Diachrony and synchrony Anna Mištinová Abstract As a multinational and multicultural language, the Spanish language offers, despite its unity, a large number of differences on all linguistic planes. This dissertation's subject consists of an examination of fundamental theoretical questions concerning the variation of American Spanish's vocabulary on a diachronous and synchronous level. A diatopic approach in particular is employed with a focus on geographic-linguistic aspects. Based on theories of variation and other general theoretical aspects, an analysis is conducted on the differences and divergences of the lexicon in Hispano-American variations, on the main sources and causes of changes in comparison with European Spanish, on the origin and nature of the language in the early phases of the New World's conquering and the innovative influence of autochthonous substrates and adstrates. Linguistic contacts made in both the past and present occupy a significant place in this examination, and an emphasis is placed on the Spanish - indigenous languages - English triangle. Another area of focus consists of loanwords in Hispanic America, the process of their adaptation and assimilation. Also among the wide range of theoretical questions that this...

The Spanish construction lo que pasa es que ‘what happens is that’, ‘the thing is’ is used in a wide variety of contexts and with a range of different meanings. Linguistic research that has been carried out on this relatively common construction often fails to include empirically collected data and, as a result, the diasystematic markers thereof have only been described to a very limited extent. The main focus of this article is to investigate the use of the construction lo que pasa es que and its phonetically reduced forms lo que pasa que and lo que in two Spanishlanguage oral speech corpora collected in Getxo (Basque Country) and Barcelona (Catalonia). These data are used to carry out a quantitative and qualitative study of the presence or absence of this construction in both regions of language contact, something which has yet to be considered or systematically analysed in the relevant research. The study identifies a statistically relevant diatopic markedness of the forms lo que pasa es que, lo que pasa and pasa que while also providing empirical proof for the pragmatic use of these constructions within the varieties investigated. Furthermore, it confirms the use of additional reduced forms of said constructions and describes their development.

Le présent travail décrit –pour la première fois– l’état actuel de la langue espagnole parlée par la communauté colombienne à Montréal sur les formes de s’adresser aux autres en langage pronominal ou nominal et la courtoisie verbale. Dans le but de réaliser cette étude, un travail de terrain a été effectué à l’aide d’un questionnaire et des entrevues orales semi-dirigées adressés à 30 informateurs. L’analyse des données, nous a permis d’établir quelques premières comparaisons entre la façon de parler des habitants de la Colombie et des Colombiens résidant à Montréal et d’identifier quelques-uns des changements linguistiques principaux dans cette communauté parlante, notamment, les variations reliées aux formes de s’adresser aux autres et aux actes de courtoisie affectés par l’influence du français et de l’anglais. L’analyse effectuée tient compte autant les aspects linguistiques, pragmatiques et sociaux que les attitudes linguistiques des interviewés. De cette façon, les résultats mettent en lumière une nouvelle description sur la dynamique de l’usage des formes de s’adresser aux autres de locuteurs originaires de trois zones dialectales représentatives de la Colombie : la région andine orientale, la région andine occidentale et la zone côtière du Caraïbe. Ensemble avec d’autres études précédentes sur la formes de s’adresser aux autres, ce travail constitue une meilleure compréhension de la réalité linguistique de l’espagnol des Colombiens unilingues, bilingues et trilingues. / Present work outlines –for the first time– the state of the Spanish language spoken by the Colombian community in Montreal with reference to the forms of pronominal and nominal address and verbal politeness. In order to conduct this study, a fieldwork was undertaken through a questionnaire and semi-conducted oral interviews addressed to 30 informants. The analysis of the collected data has allowed us to establish the first research comparing the way Colombian inhabitants and Colombians in Montreal speak and to identify some of the main linguistic changes in this spoken Spanish community. It is mostly in relation to the forms of address and politeness actions that have been affected by the influence of French and English languages. The analysis that has been carried out takes into consideration the linguistic, pragmatic and social factors of the speakers. In this way, the results provide recent insights about the description of the dynamics of the forms of address from speakers of three different representative dialectical zones of Colombia such as the oriental Andean region, occidental Andean region and the Caribbean coastal zone. Together with other previous studies, our work contributes to a better understanding of the linguistic reality of the Spanish language spoken by monolingual, bilingual or trilingual Colombians. / En este trabajo se describe –por primera vez– el estado actual del español hablado por la comunidad colombiana en Montreal en referencia a las formas de tratamiento pronominal y nominal y la cortesía verbal. Para llevar a cabo este estudio se ha realizado un trabajo de campo a través de un cuestionario y de entrevistas orales semidirigidas con 30 informantes. El análisis de los datos nos permite establecer unas primeras comparaciones entre el habla de los habitantes de Colombia y el habla de los colombianos en Montreal e identificar algunos de los principales cambios lingüísticos en esta comunidad hablante, especialmente en relación con la utilización de las formas de tratamiento y los actos de cortesía, que se ven afectados por la influencia del francés y del inglés. El análisis efectuado tiene en cuenta tanto aspectos lingüísticos, pragmáticos y sociales como las actitudes lingüísticas de los entrevistados. De este modo, los resultados aportan luz nueva sobre la descripción de la dinámica de uso de las formas de tratamiento de los hablantes de tres zonas dialectales representativas de Colombia (andina oriental, andina occidental y zona costeña del Caribe) que, junto con otros estudios previos sobre las formas de tratamiento, contribuyen a una mejor comprensión de la realidad lingüística del español de los colombianos monolingües, bilingües y trilingües.

Opta-se pelo referido recorte espacial por se tratar de localidades com perfis, em termos, diversos, fazendose uma análise para verificar prováveis semelhanças e particularidades do emprego dos pronomes clíticos nessas regiões. Quanto ao recorte temporal, trata-se de um período pouco investigado do ponto de vista linguístico e relevante pelo conjunto de fatos históricos que o caracterizam – nos cenários internacional e nacional, até mesmo na cidade e no estado de São Paulo – e pelas transformações observadas no seio das sociedades, com consequências inclusive no uso que os seus membros fazem da língua. A escolha do material utilizado como fonte de extração dos dados, os jornais, justifica-se pelo fato de eles, assim como outros meios do domínio discursivo jornalístico, serem compostos por textos de naturezas diversas – diferentes gêneros textuais –, possibilitando identificar, de acordo com aspectos formais e funcionais, os papéis dos interlocutores e o contexto situacional em que são produzidos (maior ou menor monitoramento), a presença de variantes padrão e não-padrão; neste caso, observando-se o uso das formas conservadoras e inovadoras em relação à norma vigente quanto à colocação dos pronomes clíticos. Baseando-se nos pressupostos teóricometodológicos da Teoria da Variação e Mudança Linguísticas, portanto, investigam-se quais variáveis independentes linguísticas e não-linguísticas motivam... / The present study, under the assertions of Historical Linguistics and Variationist Sociolinguistics, verifies the position of clitic pronouns, associated to a single verb or associated to more than one verb, in clauses which are part of journalistic texts produced in São Paulo city and in Rio Claro town, located in the interior of São Paulo State. The period analyzed embraces the end of the XIX century and the beginning of the XX century, particularly, between the years 1880 and 1920. This spatial cut is due to the diverse profile of the locations, what is analyzed to verify probable similarities and particularities of the clitic pronouns uses in those areas. Concerning the time cut, the period has had little investigation from the linguistic point of view, but it is relevant by the historical facts which distinguish it – in the national and international sceneries and even in São Paulo city and State – and also by the transformations observed in the societies, with consequences also present in the use of the language by their members. The materials used as data extraction source, the newspapers, were chosen because of their diverse nature of texts, just as other means of the journalistic discourse domain. This choice enables the presence of standard and non-standard variations and the identification of the roles of the interlocutors and the situational context in which they are produced (with higher or lower monitoring), according to formal and functional aspects. In this case, the use of conservative and innovator forms related to the present standard, while placing the clitic pronouns, are observed. Based on the theoretical and methodological purposes from the Theory of Linguistic Change and Variation, therefore, there is an investigation of which independent linguistic and non-linguistic variables motivate, inside the sentence, a certain position of the clitic pronouns...
