BRAUNOVÁ, L.: František Kožík's biographical novels about Zdenka Braunerová compared to the extant correspondence /Master Degree Thesis/ Prague 2014, Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Education, Departement of the Czech Literature. This Master Degree Thesis compares Kožík's novels Na křídle větrného mlýna and Neklidné babí léto with the extant correspondence, which is used in different ways in both novels. The starting point was extensive research, which provided a precise undertanding of the author's intentions. The goal was to find out how the author forms the characters and their relationship using sources, especially the correspondence. At the same time this thesis delineates the difference between facts and fiction with an example of Kožík's novels.

L'objectif de la thèse est de proposer des méthodes permettant d'améliorer l'expressivité des systèmes de synthèse de la parole. Une des propositions centrales de ce travail est de définir, utiliser et mesurer l'impact de structures linguistiques opérant au delà du niveau de la phrase, par opposition aux approches opérant sur des phrases isolées de leur contexte. Le cadre de l'étude est restreint au cas de la lecture de contes pour enfants. Les contes ont la particularité d'avoir été l'objet d'un certain nombre d'études visant à en dégager une structure narrative et de faire intervenir une certain nombre de stéréotypes de personnages (héros, méchant, fée) dont le discours est souvent rapporté. Ces caractéristiques particulières sont exploitées pour modéliser les propriétés prosodiques des contes au delà du niveau de la phrase. La transmission orale des contes a souvent été associée à une pratique musicale (chants, instruments) et leur lecture reste associée à des propriétés mélodiques très riches, dont la reproduction reste un défi pour les synthétiseurs de parole modernes. Pour répondre à ces problématiques, un premier corpus de contes écrits est collecté et annoté avec des informations relatives à la structure narrative des contes, l'identification et l'attribution des citations directes, le référencement des mentions des personnages ainsi que des entités nommées et des énumérations étendues. Le corpus analysé est décrit en terme de couverture et d'accord inter-annotateurs. Il est utilisé pour modéliser des systèmes de segmentation des contes en épisode, de détection des citations directes, des actes de dialogue et des modes de communication. Un deuxième corpus de contes lus par un locuteur professionnel est présenté. La parole est alignée avec les transcriptions lexicale et phonétique, les annotations du corpus texte et des méta-informations décrivant les caractéristiques des personnages intervenant dans le conte. Les relations entre les annotations linguistiques et les propriétés prosodiques observées dans le corpus de parole sont décrites et modélisées. Finalement, un prototype de contrôle des paramètres expressifs du synthétiseur par sélection d'unités Acapela est réalisé. Le prototype génère des instructions prosodiques opérant au delà du niveau de la phrase, notamment en utilisant les informations liées à la structure du conte et à la distinction entre discours direct et discours rapporté. La validation du prototype de contrôle est réalisée dans le cadre d'une expérience perceptive, qui montre une amélioration significative de la qualité de la synthèse. / The aim of this thesis is to propose ways to improve the expressiveness of speech synthesis systems. One of the central propositions of this work is to define, use and measure the impact of linguistic structures operating beyond the sentence level, as opposed to approaches operating on sentences out of their context. The scope of the study is restricted to the case of storytelling for children. The stories have the distinction of having been the subject of a number of studies in order to highlight a narrative structure and involve a number of stereotypical characters (hero, villain, fairy) whose speech is often reported. These special features are used to model the prosodic properties tales beyond the sentence level. The oral transmission of tales was often associated with musical practice (vocals, instruments) and their reading is associated with rich melodic properties including reproduction remains a challenge for modern speech synthesizers. To address these issues, a first corpus of written tales is collected and annotated with information about the narrative structure of stories, identification and allocation of direct quotations, referencing references to characters as well as named entities and enumerations areas. The corpus analyzed is described in terms of coverage and inter-annotator agreement. It is used to model systems segmentation tales episode, detection of direct quotes, dialogue acts and modes of communication. A second corpus of stories read by a professional speaker is presented. The word is aligned with the lexical and phonetic transcriptions, annotations of the corpus text and meta-information describing the characteristics of the characters involved in the story. The relationship between linguistic annotations and prosodic properties observed in the speech corpus are described and modeled. Finally, a prototype control expressive synthesizer parameters by Acapela unit selection is made. The prototype generates prosodic operating instructions beyond the sentence level, including using the information related to the structure of the story and the distinction between direct speech and reported speech. Prototype validation control is performed through a perceptual experience, which shows a significant improvement in the quality of the synthesis.

I will show you the evidences of these discourses in the novel text as well as the characteristics which turn concomitant and similar instances into structural pillars which bear the novel gender, according to Bakhtin s definition. Those structures suggest several discursive approaches, some of them concerning the plot nature, others regarding to a critical way about the sources in which Machado de Assis inspired himself or devoured anthropophagically in order to establish a revolutionary narrative discourse which does not end in those four instances. However, they are like pillars which bear and provide a framework for the greatest acrobat capers . Acrobat capers, this is a way which I would define the style of Machado de Assis, a caper in the air without any rope or protection net towards a joy taken by the discovery of the skill which deludes the reader and leads him to ethereal spaces which are beyond the matter / A proposta deste trabalho é, a partir de uma leitura atenta da obra Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas de Machado de Assis, apontar índices que comprovem certa a existência no texto de quatro níveis discursivos: o discurso do Antigo Testamento, o discurso dos filósofos Estóicos, o discurso do Novo Testamento e do teólogo cristão Aurélio Agostinho e por fim o discurso dos moralistas franceses, notadamente Voltaire. Apontarei exemplos desses discursos no romance e indicarei as características que os transformam em instâncias, similares a pilares estruturais que sustentam o gênero romance conforme a definição de Bakhtin. Estas estruturas sugerem várias abordagens discursivas: umas relacionadas à natureza do enredo outras com um percurso crítico sobre as fontes em que Machado de Assis se inspirou ou antropofagicamente devorou, a fim de estabelecer um discurso narrativo revolucionário, que não se esgota nessas quatro instâncias, porém estas são como pilares que sustentam e dão arcabouço para as maiores cabriolas de volatim . Cabriolas de volatim: essa é a maneira como definiria o estilo de Machado de Assis, um salto no ar sem amarras e rede de proteção rumo a uma alegria levada pela descoberta do artifício com que ilude o leitor e o conduz aos espaços etéreos que estão além da matéria

[pt] A Extração de Citações consiste na identificação de citações de um texto e na associação destas com seus autores. Neste trabalho, apresentamos um sistema de Extração de Citações para Português. A tarefa de Extração de Citações já foi abordada usando diversas técnicas e para diversas línguas.Nossa proposta é diferente dos trabalhos anteriores, pois usamos Aprendizado de Máquina para construir automaticamente regras especializadas ao invés de regras criadas por humanos. Modelos de Aprendizado de Máquina geralmente apresentam forte capacidade de generalização comparados a modelos feitos por humanos. Além disso, nós podemos facilmente adaptar nosso modelo para outras línguas, precisando apenas de uma lista de verbos de citação para uma dada língua. Os sistemas propostos anteriormente provavelmente precisariam de uma adaptação no conjunto de regras de forma a classificar corretamente as citações, o que consumiria tempo. Nós atacamos a tarefa de Extração de Citações usando um modelo para o algoritmo de Aprendizado de Transformações Guiado por Entropia e um modelo para o algoritmo do Perceptron Estruturado. Com o objetivo de treinar e avaliar o sistema, nós construímos o corpus GloboQuotes com notícias extraídas do portal globo.com. Adicionamos etiquetas morfossintáticas ao corpus, utilizando um anotador estado da arte. O Perceptron Estruturado baseado no agendamento de tarefas ponderado tem desempenho F sub Beta igual a 1 igual a 76,80 por cento. / [en] Quotation Extraction consists of identifying quotations from a text and associating them to their authors. In this work, we present a Quotation Extraction system for Portuguese. Quotation Extraction has been previously approached using different techniques and for several languages. Our proposal differs from previous work since we use Machine Learning to automatically build specialized rules instead of human-derived rules. Machine Learning models usually present stronger generalization power compared to human-derived models. In addition, we are able to easily adapt our model to other languages, needing only a list of verbs of speech for a given language. The previously proposed systems would probably need a rule set adaptation to correctly classify the quotations, which would be time consuming. We tackle the Quotation Extraction task using one model for the Entropy Guided Transformation Learning algorithm and another one for the Structured Perceptron algorithm. In order to train and evaluate the system, we have build the GloboQuotes corpus, with news extracted from the globo.com portal. We add part-of-speech tags to the corpus using a state-of-the-art tagger. The Structured Perceptron based on weighted interval scheduling obtains an F sub Beta equal 1 score of 76.80 per cent.

Intertextuality as a method of biblical interpretations is well known and often misused in theological circles. This thesis critically describes how intertextuality is used and what are the main issues with this term and method. The main conclusion is that intertextuality as the modern method is for no much use in biblical hermeneutics though it can be used as an old and well know method of source theory. Intertextuality in the modern view appears to be as a confusing and an unstable term. Philosophical presuppositions of a modern hermeneutics might lead to self-contradictory conclusions. It is not that the attempt to come to original meaning is fulfilled through new interpretational methods, but anyone can introduce any new meaning to old texts. This work shows that the reasons to believe in the death of the original meaning is based on shaky and uncertain grounds. The main concern of this work is introductory citation of the Gospel of Mark. It shows that Mark bases his high Christological understanding on the prophecy of Isaiah and Malachi. Though Mark's Gospel is often considered as the earliest manuscript containing non-high Christological notion, this work shows that Mark from the very beginning introduced us to Jesus who possesses the same qualities as the Yahweh in the books of Isaiah and...

Aiming the approximation of different theoretical fields - Serge Moscovici’s (2007) theory of Social Representations, the Discourse Analysis of French orientation, and Genette’s (1982) intertextuality purposes, reviewed by Piègay-Gros (1996) - we consider the social representations as discursive practices, because both orientate the action of the persons and both lean on the discursive and collective memories to be built through a constant dialogism among the several texts and discourses which already exist. To analyze them, we delimited the relevant discursive spaces of the students’ narratives and we verified the discursive positions they assumed in their enunciations. Then, through a qualitative intertextual and interdiscursive analysis using the copresence relations of allusion and quotation, we identified eleven different aspects which characterize the social representations; from them we identified three social representations and eight characteristics that support them, which were organized according to the notions of central and peripheral systems (ABRIC, 1994), and which verse about the initial and formal process of learning how to read and write as a whole. The students relate about what made them come back to the school, about the motivations of learning how to read and write, about what the acquisition that reading and writing promote, as well as about life without knowing how to read and write and other social representations which were built. / Em nosso trabalho, investigamos as representações sociais construídas por cinco alunas da educação de jovens e adultos do Projeto SESC Ler de Fortaleza acerca de seu processo de aprendizagem formal e inicial da leitura e da escrita, bem como de aspectos que tal processo envolve, como, por exemplo, a vida sem saber ler e escrever. Com o intuito de aproximar campos teóricos diferentes - a teoria das representações sociais de Serge Moscovici (2007), a Análise do Discurso de linha francesa e os pressupostos da intertextualidade de Genette (1982), revistos por Piègay-Gros (1996) - tomamos as representações sociais como práticas discursivas, na medida em que ambas orientam as ações dos sujeitos, ancorando-se na memória discursiva e na memória coletiva para se constituírem através de um constante dialogismo entre os diversos textos e discursos já existentes. Para analisá-las, delimitamos os espaços discursivos que nos foram relevantes por meio da seleção de trechos dos relatos das alunas e verificamos as posições discursivas assumidas em suas enunciações. A partir daí, recorremos às relações de copresença de alusão e de citação, para, através delas, em uma análise qualitativa intertextual e interdiscursiva, identificarmos as representações sociais formadas. Ao todo, foram encontrados onze aspectos que caracterizam as representações sociais, sendo três representações como núcleo central e oito características embasadoras, organizadas conforme as noções de sistema central e periférico (ABRIC, 1994). As alunas discorrem sobre o que as levaram a voltar para a escola, sobre as motivações para aprender a ler e a escrever, sobre o que a aquisição da leitura e da escrita promove, sobre como é a vida sem saber ler e escrever, dentre outras representações construídas.

Cette thèse est consacrée à l’œuvre abondante et originale de l’écrivain contemporain Éric Chevillard. Son objet est de cerner l’isotopie du cliché dans l’écriture chevillardienne où le rapport à la littérature passe essentiellement par la manipulation des stéréotypes, des topoï et des idées reçues. Ainsi, la contestation de la banalité apparaît comme une des constantes majeures de ses textes. Pour en signaler les caractéristiques et les modalités principales, le travail s’organise autour de trois axes : le rôle du cliché verbal dans l’organisation stylistique du récit, puis l’observation de sa dimension intertextuelle à travers le cliché citationnel qui dénonce la banalisation de la référence littéraire, et, enfin, la remise en question de la doxa qui régit la société moderne. Cette triple manipulation du cliché définit la posture singulière d’Éric Chevillard au sein du champ littéraire contemporain fondée sur les notions de l’écart, de la distance ironique et du rejet du réalisme prosaïque en littérature. Le dernier mouvement de l’étude vise à démontrer qu’au delà de sa propre fiction, le cliché est mobilisé par le Chevillard critique comme un des critères essentiels de la qualité littéraire que ce soit sur son blog, L’Autofictif, ou dans sa chronique hebdomadaire dans Le Monde des livres. C’est là que le cliché acquiert véritablement la valeur isotopique dans la mesure où sa contestation assure la cohésion de l’œuvre entière. / This PhD thesis is devoted to the prolific and original work of the contemporary writer Éric Chevillard. Its subject is to define the isotopy of cliché in Chevillard's writing, in which the relationship to literature mostly goes through the manipulation of stereotypes, topoi and accepted ideas. Thus, questioning the banality appears like one of the major constants of his texts. In order to indicate the characteristics and main modalities, the work is organized around three axis: the role of verbal cliché in the narrative stylistic organization, then the observation of its intertextual dimension through the cliché of quotation which denounces the trivialization of literary reference, and, finally, the questioning of the doxa ruling modern society. This triple manipulation of cliché defines Éric Chevillard singular position in a contemporary literary field based on notions of gap, ironical distance, and rejection of prosaic realism in literature. The last movement of the study aims at demonstrate that, beyond its own fiction, the cliché is being called on by Chevillard-critique as one of the essential criteria of literary quality, both on his blog, L’Autofictif, or in his weekly column in Le Monde des livres. This is where the cliché truly acquires the isotopic value insofar as its contestation provides the entire work cohesion.

The diploma thesis deals with the interpretation of Deml's prose anthology Moji přátelé/My Friends from an intertextual viewpoint. The work is focused mainly on the reconstruction of My Friends' genesis and intertextual structures and on the interpretation of identified references, i.e. allusions and quotations. The thesis also explores Deml's vocabulary of flowers by reference to Biedermeier's work, it surveys repertoire of the main motifs and offers analysis of author's poetics. The work is also focused on Deml's specific dialogue.
