Translating Le coup de la girafe: A Register Analysis of Fictional OralityKavanagh, Kayla 22 February 2019 (has links)
This thesis examines fictional orality through the lens of register theory, and the application of these concepts in translation. Fictional orality is created by the intersection of two registers that are quite distinct in some languages and cultures: the more formal, written literary register, and the informal, spoken register. This results in an entirely new hybrid register, which seeks to balance the spontaneous, informal language of natural speech with the conventions of formal, written language. I aim to explore this hybrid register in my translation of Le coup de la girafe by Camille Bouchard. The story is told in a first-person, present-tense narration, so fictional orality is ubiquitous in the novella, and it is an excellent text to use for this purpose.
In this thesis, I first lay out the theoretical framework for my translation by delving into register theory and fictional orality, and how these notions have been adapted to translation studies. Then, drawing on this framework, I discuss how I applied these concepts in my approach to the translation of Le coup de la girafe, using specific examples from the text. After this, I conclude by presenting the translation itself.

A Linguistic Analysis of Some Japanese Trademark CasesOkawara, Mami Hiraike January 2006 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / There has been dissatisfaction over some court rulings among lay people in Japan. In this thesis I propose a model to explain the discrepancies between legal experts and lay people. Chapter 1 presents the purpose of this thesis, and an overview of the model called the Linguistic Legal Model. Chapter 2 shows the Japanese legal system including a new lay-participation system, the mixed court system. Chapter 3 provides background information on Japanese trademark issues. In Chapter 4 and 5, the Linguistic Legal Model is explored with Layer Analysis and Register Analysis. For Layer Analysis in Chapter 4, the notion of layering is presented from a linguistic perspective whereas legal reasoning is discussed from the notion of different modes of thought. Register Analysis in Chapter 5 is discussed in terms of genre and register. Japanese legal language is examined together with English legal language. In Chapter 6 and 7 I examine trademark cases. The Golden Horse case in Chapter 6 presents court’s judgment of the likelihood of confusion which is in common with that of lay people. However, it is argued that the thought process in the legal judgment court was not convincing. In Chapter 7, the Snack Chanel case portrays a judgment characteristic of the legal layer, which is quite different from the common sense of lay people. This discrepancy is explained from the perspective of different layers and different modes of thought. Chapter 8 concludes with a brief summary of this thesis.

Finding the Synoptic Gospels' Construction Process: A Comparative Linguistic Analysis of the Eucharist and its Co-TextsAhn, Hojoon J. 11 1900 (has links)
This study attempts to analyze the Eucharist in the Synoptic Gospels including their co-texts (Matt 26:14–35; Mark 14:10–31; Luke 22:3–23, 31–34), via a Mode Register Analysis based on Systemic Functional Linguistics. The purpose of this study is threefold: (1) to model a linguistic methodology and to apply it to each text of the Eucharist and its co-texts in the Synoptic Gospels, (2) to find meaningful linguistic characteristics of each designated text via a comparative analysis based on the preceding study, and finally (3) to suggest a balanced and plausible hypothesis which may offer convincing explanations of the Synoptic Gospels' construction process. The thesis of this study is as follows: in the Synoptic Gospels' construction process, each constructor reflected the oral Gospel tradition(s) significantly, as the one who had formed/contributed the tradition (probably Matthew), or the one who delivered it (probably Mark), or the one who preserved it (probably Luke), though there is also the possibility that each of them made use of written sources including the other Gospel(s).

Language, ideology and control : a functional linguistic investigation into the language of literary criticismGeslin, Nicole Francoise 01 1900 (has links)
This study uses the framework of systemic functional grammar to
conduct the stylistic investigation of extracts from two texts of
literary criticism written by F.R. Leavis and Paul de Man. The
aims of the study are:
i) to identify the characteristic features of the type of text
known as professional literary criticism, and interpret the
ideological significance of the textual features thus
identified;
ii) to identify the characteristic features of two specific
registers of literary criticism, liberal humanist criticism
and deconstruction, and interpret the relationship between
linguistic and ideological variation -as exemplified in the
texts which are analysed- and power.
The features which make systemic functional grammar a powerful
tool in stylistic analysis are identified, and a review of the
applications of systemic grammar to text analysis is presented. A
model of the relationship between text and context is presented,
and its key terms and their relationship (discourse, ideology,
genre, register, language) are discussed.
The analysis of extracts from literary critical texts is conducted
according to the three main features of the context of situation
as identified in systemic grammar: field (subject matter of the
discourse), tenor (participants in the discourse) and mode (medium
of the discourse).
Finally, the study considers the implications and applications of
the conclusions drawn, particularly those that relate to the
academic institution within which literary critical texts are
produced and read. / Linguistics and Modern Languages / D. Litt. et Phil. (Linguistics)

Caractérisation de l'anglais comme lingua franca professionnelle à travers une analyse de corpus de courriels échangés en entreprise : une étude de registre / Characterisation of English as a professional lingua franca : a corpus-based, register study of corporate emailsMillot, Philippe 15 November 2012 (has links)
Cette thèse est une contribution à la branche professionnelle de l'anglais de spécialité et au domaine de l'anglais comme lingua franca. Le contexte de la recherche est le milieu de l'entreprise où les employés échangent des courriels dans le cadre de la réalisation d'actions professionnelles routinières. Dans ce contexte, l'anglais est considéré comme une langue internationale et, dans la situation où les employés sont natifs d'autres langues que l'anglais, la lingua franca. La première partie traite des quatre concepts fondamentaux de cette recherche : l'anglais comme langue internationale, le registre, la phraséologie et les discours professionnels. De ces quatre concepts émerge l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'analyse du discours professionnel en général et des courriels professionnels en particulier reposent sur la modélisation de situations professionnelles récurrentes en situations professionnelles typiques d'échange. Cette modélisation permet ensuite une analyse de registre. La seconde partie présente la démarche méthodologique dont l'objectif estla constitution d'un corpus de 500 courriels professionnels à partir d'une base de données plus large que nous avons constituée lors de notre enquête de terrain dans le monde de l'entreprise. Le corpus est tout d'abord défini selon quatre situations linguistiques que nous présentons ci-dessous : 1. scripteurs natifs et destinataires natifs 2. scripteurs natifs et destinataires non natifs 3. scripteurs non natifs et destinataires natifs 4. scripteurs non natifs et destinataires non natifs Il est ensuite défini selon les quatre situations professionnelles suivantes : 1. achats et ventes de produits 2. management d'équipes distantes 3. administration des ressources humaines 4. résolution de problèmes techniques A partir de ce corpus, nous menons une étude de la variation sur trois ensembles de traits linguistico-discursifs et paralinguistiques qui nous permettent d'évaluer le degré de minimalisme dans les courriels, le degré d'imbrication du texte dans le contexte ainsi que de mesurer le caractère interpersonnel et intime de ce type d'échange. Notre étude nous mène tout d'abord à confirmer que l'analyse de registre est une approche efficace pour la caractérisation des discours ordinaires et routiniers dans les entreprises. Elle interroge ensuite la solidité des normes et du concept de communauté de discours en présentant l'anglais en circulation sur les réseaux professionnels, éphémères et mondiaux, comme une variété fluide. / This dissertation is a contribution to both the professional branch of English for Specific Purposes and English as a lingua franca. The research takes place in the corporate world where employees exchange emails during the course of their professional routines. In this context, English is considered as an international language and, in the situations where employees are natives of other languages than English, the lingua franca. In the first part, the four fundamental concepts used in this study are introduced: (1) English as an international language, (2) register, (3) phraseology, and (4) professional discourse. From this introduction emerges the hypothesis that professional discourse analysis in general and professional emails in particular are based on modelising recurrent, professional situations into typical exchange situations then allowing for register analysis. The second part deals with the methodological approach which consists in building a corpus comprising 500 messages extracted from a larger database which was collected while we did fieldwork in the corporate world. The corpus is defined by the four following linguistic situations : 1. native professionals writing to native professionals 2. native professionals writing to non-native professionals 3. non-native professionals writing to native professionals 4. non-native professionals writing to non-native professionals It is also defined by four professional situations, namely : 1. selling and purchasing 2. team management 3. human resources management 4. technical problem solving The situations are then used to conduct a corpus-based, register analysis alongthree linguistic and paralinguistic dimensions. Each dimension seeks to characterise professional emails as a form of minimal, embedded, and interpersonal discourse. More generally, this thesis explores and challenges the solidity of traditional norms and that of the concept of discourse community by presenting the English used in global, ephemeral and professional networks as a fluid variety.
