民間預兆在現代俄語話語中的語義與語用功能分析 / Folk Omens in the Modern Russian Discourse: Semantic, Functional, and Pragmatic Aspects

王薇媛, Wang, Wei Yuan Unknown Date (has links)
「預兆」即為民間創作微體裁,作為語言中的固定格言,同時也是具勸諭性的完整句。它的存在相當根深柢固,因為人人皆有將時、事、已知與未知連結起來的心理需求,並希望獲知未來訊息、根據預測修正自己的行為。 近年來,民間創作微體裁引起俄羅斯與各國學者的興趣,並受到各流派的研究。大部份的民間創作體裁已逐漸消亡,其中包括壯士歌、童話與歷史歌曲等。但是作為話語體裁的民間預兆不同於上述創作,在現代俄羅斯語言文化學的地位仍極為穩固,Primeta.yaxy.ru、Primety.net等相關網站即可間接證明該論點。 本論文旨在研究民間預兆於俄語國家語料庫(НКРЯ)十八世紀末至二十一世紀初文學及政論作品中的語義與語用功能。學者的首要研究著重在天氣徵兆、與天氣息息相關的禮俗、產業、日子以及其他主題性的預兆。對與物品相關,且含有「錢」、「房屋、器具」、「食物」、「衣服、鞋、配飾」等意義關鍵成分的預兆研究相對少很多。因此,對它們的研究便顯得更加重要。

Étude lexicale et anthropologique de la mort à partir des textes suméro-akkadiens (fin IIIème-Ier millénaire av. J.-C.) / A lexical and anthropological study of death in Sumerian and Akkadian texts (late 3rd to 1st Millennium BC)

Muller, Virginie 12 November 2015 (has links)
Les sources textuelles sumériennes et akkadiennes sont à la base de ce travail. Il offre une enquête sur le thème de la mort, à partir d’une analyse lexicale du champ sémantique de la mort, ainsi que des différents termes, expressions et euphémismes utilisés pour désigner le fait de mourir. La totalité des genres littéraires attestés sont donc pris en compte, notamment les textes divinatoires, les inscriptions royales, les textes de lois… L’objectif est tout d’abord de constituer un corpus le plus exhaustif possible, qui jusqu’ici n’était pas disponible, en étudiant de façon systématique les données. Mais l’ambition est également d’analyser toute la terminologie et de réaliser une synthèse sur ce thème. Cette recherche porte donc sur la mort dans sa réalité concrète, notamment les différentes sortes de trépas, et les gestes afférents, comme les étapes du processus funéraire ou des cultes de commémoration. L’intérêt est également porté sur les différents sentiments ressentis face à la mort, aux valeurs et significations qui lui sont accordées, et aux utilisations de la mort par les vivants, notamment au travers d’une exploitation politique et sociale. / Sumerian and Akkadian texts provide the primary material for this study, which is a lexical analysis of the semantic field of death, and of terms, expressions and euphemisms used to refer to dying. All literary genres are examined, especially divinatory texts. The purpose is not only to bring together a corpus, which until now has not been available, by going through the texts systematically, but also to analyze all the terminology and to summarize the subject. This research concerns concrete aspects of death, especially the different ways in which Mesopotamians died and the acts that followed death, such as funerary practices and rites, and commemorative ceremony. We are also interested in different feelings, values, and uses attributed to death by the living, especially political or social.
