11	Reading the book of Lamentations as a whole : canonical-literary approach to the scripture as divine communicative action Kang, Shinman 18 June 2009 (has links) This dissertation is basically a reading the book of Lamentation as a literary whole in a sense of a text-centred approach, which aims to interpret the Scripture as divine communicative action. The major philosophical resources that I employ in this study are the Speech-Act theory developed by J. Austin and J. Searle, and the concepts particularly exemplified in the work of K. Vanhoozer. I look at repetition and literary techniques in Lamentations as a clue to its structural unity. In the body of the dissertation, Instead of historical-critical approaches, I claim that the meaning exists not ‘behind the text,’ but ‘in the text itself as a whole.’ One of the most important literary approaches to understanding the book of Lamentations is to note the poetic voices, which interweave in the text. The poetic voices are my main focus of understanding the book of Lamentations. I explain the literary meaning reading the text and demonstrate that we must find the canonical level of the meaning which supervenes on the literary level. The meaning of a text at a literary level must be carefully studied and modified by the ‘fuller sense (or meaning)’ derived from the canonical context. The ‘fuller sense’ of Scripture associated with divine authorship emerges only at the level of the whole canon. Here for the canonical meaning of the text, I focus on Vanhoozer’s assertion, having proposed the suitability of speech act theory for the various tasks of biblical interpretation and theological hermeneutics. When we read the text, there is no utterance from God in Lamentations. It is the missing voice. The main theme of Lamentations is "Where is the true comfort?". The text presents no comfort. In the literary context, God keeps silent (non-speaking). Canonically, however, Christian readers as God’s people read the Bible, connecting it to Jesus Christ. Within the canonical context, we can indeed find an answer and God’s answering speech (that is, His act), because Jesus is their true comforter acting as God’s response. We can find this response in his teaching (e.g. Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount) and in his mission (e.g. presenting his body as the temple, being Immanuel, God-with-us). / Dissertation (MA(Theology))--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Old Testament Studies / unrestricted Text-centred approach Divine communicative act Divine discourse Canonical approach Acrostic form Speech-act theory Speaking voice Persona Parallelism of hebrew poetry Polyphonic voice Mikhail m bakhtin Perlocution Illocution Locution Literary criticism Kevin vanhoozer J searle J austin UCTD
12	Le traitement des locutions en génération automatique de texte multilingue Dubé, Michaelle 08 1900 (has links) La locution est peu étudiée en génération automatique de texte (GAT). Syntaxiquement, elle forme un syntagme, alors que sémantiquement, elle ne constitue qu’une seule unité. Le présent mémoire propose un traitement des locutions en GAT multilingue qui permet d’isoler les constituants de la locution tout en conservant le sens global de celle-ci. Pour ce faire, nous avons élaboré une solution flexible à base de patrons universels d’arbres de dépendances syntaxiques vers lesquels pointent des patrons de locutions propres au français (Pausé, 2017). Notre traitement a été effectué dans le réalisateur de texte profond multilingue GenDR à l’aide des données du Réseau lexical du français (RL-fr). Ce travail a abouti à la création de 36 règles de lexicalisation par patron (indépendantes de la langue) et à un dictionnaire lexical pour les locutions du français. Notre implémentation couvre 2 846 locutions du RL-fr (soit 97,5 %), avec une précision de 97,7 %. Le mémoire se divise en cinq chapitres, qui décrivent : 1) l’architecture classique en GAT et le traitement des locutions par différents systèmes symboliques ; 2) l’architecture de GenDR, (principalement sa grammaire, ses dictionnaires, son interface sémantique-syntaxe et ses stratégies de lexicalisations) ; 3) la place des locutions dans la phraséologie selon la théorie Sens-Texte, ainsi que le RL-fr et ses patrons syntaxiques linéarisés ; 4) notre implémentation de la lexicalisation par patron des locutions dans GenDR, et 5) notre évaluation de la couverture de la précision de notre implémentation. / Idioms are rarely studied in natural language generation (NLG). Syntactically, they form a phrase, while semantically, they correspond to a single unit. In this master’s thesis, we propose a treatment of idioms in multilingual NLG that enables us to isolate their constituents while preserving their global meaning. To do so, we developed a flexible solution based on universal templates of syntactic dependency trees, onto which we map French-specific idiom patterns (Pausé, 2017). Our work was implemented in Generic Deep Realizer (GenDR) using data from the Réseau lexical du français (RL-fr). This resulted in the creation of 36 template-based lexicalization rules (independent of language) and of a lexical dictionary for French idioms. Our implementation covers 2846 idioms of the RL-fr (i.e., 97.5%), with an accuracy of 97.7%. We divided our analysis into five chapters, which describe: 1) the classical NLG architecture and the handling of idioms by different symbolic systems; 2) the architecture of GenDR (mainly its grammar, its dictionaries, its semantic-syntactic interface, and its lexicalization strategies); 3) the place of idioms in phraseology according to Meaning-Text Theory (théorie Sens-Texte), the RL-fr and its linearized syntactic patterns; 4) our implementation of the template lexicalization of idioms in GenDR; and 5) our evaluation of the coverage and the precision of our implementation. locution expression polylexicale génération automatique de texte lexicalisation théorie Sens-Texte réalisation linguistique idiom multiword expressions multilingual natural language generation lexicalization Meaning-Text theory linguistic realization
13	'n Musikale model van koherensieverhoudings getoets aan die hand van J.S. Bach se Schübler-koraalvoorspele : 'n loodsstudie (Afrikaans) Pelser, Maria Magdalena 17 October 2009 (has links) In text linguistics coherence is seen as one of the key factors in communication and textual interpretation. Text linguistics, as an inter-disciplinary field of study concerning the textuality of texts in conjunction with coherence, can probably be of great importance in current musicology, especially as the problem concerning musical meaning, is still an ongoing debate. The design of a musical model of coherence relations is a new field of study and can not be connected to present day language models, therefore a new model should be invented. It should be kept in mind that adaptations in text linguistics can be of great influence in musicology today and on music in its relation to language. Musical interlocution forms the basis for musical coherence relations as method of musical communication. Musical communication has its origin in the top/cohesive surface of the musical text and disseminates to the lower/coherensive surface of the musical text. Although there is an interaction between musical cohesion and coherence, coherence relations are more concentrated on the lower level. Musical illocution and musical blended perlocution function within the coherensive musical and word texts. The listener plays a big role in this process, because musical coherence is the platform for musical interpretation. As listeners design a word text around the music text, musical blended perlocution through association results. The addition of associative meaning to the musical text has the result that the linguistic perlocution and the musical perlocution intermix with one another. One must keep in mind that perlocution differs in language and music. It will be indicated that musical coherence relations have a dual character. It will be argued here that the principles of musical textuality, adjusted from those text linguistically practised by De Beaugrande&Dressler (1981) and Carstens (1997, 2000, 2009), as well as the three musical functions, adapted from Austin's (1962) determination in language, figure strongly in J.S. Bach's Schübler Chorales. / Thesis (DMus)--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Music / unrestricted Musikale koherensieverhouding Musical coherence relation Musikale koherensie Musical coherence Musikale tekstualiteit Musical textuality Musikale lokusie Musical locution Musikale illokusie Musical illocution Musikale betekenis Musical meaning Musikale effek Musical effect Schübler-koraalvoorspele Schübler chorales UCTD
14	Critères de figement : L’identification des expressions figées en français contemporain Svensson, Maria Helena January 2004 (has links) Although there are units larger than the word in language, linguists have not been able to agree on a definition of these units. This study examines a variety of notions, relevant in the study of ”fixed” or ”frozen” expressions in contemporary French. Criteria such as memorization, unique context, non-compositionality, marked syntax, lexical blocking and grammatical blocking are analyzed in detail. A closer look at them reveals that in fact only one of them, lexical blocking, is both necessary and sufficient in the description of a fixed expression. The other criteria are, however, also important to the notion of ”fixedness”. It may well be that the criteria that have often been proposed in linguistic literature would benefit from being organized in a family resemblance rather than being used as necessary and sufficient conditions.

15	Řečové akty ve hře Milana Kundery "Majitelé klíčů" / Speech Acts in the Play Owners of the Keys by Milan Kundera SVOBODA, Marek January 2014 (has links) This thesis deals with the theory of speech acts which is based mainly on analysis of speech and its function in communication. We use speech not only to convey something but to also do something, to change the state of things around us and to accomplish specific goals. Speech acts in a literary piece are then analyzed on theoretical basis, specifically in Milan Kundera's dramatic play Majitelé klíčů.
