Há na literatura especializada fortes evidências empíricas a respeito das relações entre habilidades de leitura e escrita e habilidades metalingüísticas. Entretanto, ainda são pouco numerosos os trabalhos que analisam efeitos de intervenções, sobretudo com falantes do português brasileiro. A presente pesquisa investigou a influência de um programa de intervenção, baseado em atividades voltadas para o desenvolvimento da consciência dos aspectos formais e estruturais da linguagem, com vistas ao domínio de habilidades metafonológicas e metassintáticas, sobre o desenvolvimento de habilidades de leitura e de escrita. O estudo teve um delineamento do tipo experimental realizado com um grupo experimental e um grupo controle, em três fases: pré-teste e pós-teste para todos os participantes e intervenção para o grupo experimental em sala de aula. Participaram deste estudo 44 crianças de ambos os sexos, de 2ª séries do ensino público fundamental, com idades de 08 a 12 anos, originárias de duas classes regulares nas quais as crianças apresentavam diversidades em termos de desempenho no processo de alfabetização. Algumas já dominavam o sistema escrito, mas muitas delas ainda não tinham este domínio. Foi feita aplicação coletiva de tarefas de avaliação de escrita e aplicação individual de tarefas de avaliação de leitura, consciência fonológica e consciência sintática antes e depois da intervenção. Esta consistiu em 16 sessões de aplicação coletiva de atividades lúdicas metafonológicas e 15 sessões de atividades lúdicas metassintáticas. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste T de significação de Student. Os resultados demonstraram que, apenas para o grupo experimental, houve diferenças significativas na comparação das médias pré e pós-teste para tarefas de escrita de palavras e de habilidades metafonológicas. Em tarefas de leitura e habilidades metassintáticas ambos os grupos progrediram significativamente. Concluiu-se que a efetividade do programa de intervenção constitui uma importante implicação pedagógica, pois evidencia que é possível recuperar atrasos em linguagem escrita em crianças dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental através de treino em consciência fonológica, correspondência grafemafonema e consciência sintática, em situação real de sala de aula. / There are strong empirical evidences in the specialized literature regarding the relationship between reading and writing skills and metalinguistic skills. However, there is still little research that analyzes the effects of interventions, especially with speakers of Brazilian Portuguese. This research investigated the influence of an intervention program, based on activities focused on the development of awareness of formal and structural aspects of the language, with a view to the field of metaphonological and metasyntactical skills on the development of reading and writing skills. The survey had an experimental type delineation carried out with an experimental group and a control group in three phases: pre-test and posttest for all participants and intervention for the experimental group in the classroom. Forty four children of both gender of the second year of the public elementary education, aged from 08 to 12 years, took part in this survey. The children were from two regular classrooms in which they had diversity in terms of performance in the literacy process. Some of them already dominated the writing system, but many of them didnt have this domain. It was accomplished collective application of writing valuation tasks and single application of reading, phonological awareness and syntactical awareness valuation tasks before and after the intervention. The intervention consisted of 16 sessions of collective application of metaphonological ludic activities and 15 sessions of metasyntactical ludic activities. The data were submitted to the Students T test. The results showed that there were significant differences, comparing the pre-test and post-test means, to the tasks of words writing, reading and metaphonological and metasyntactical skills. Both groups made a significant upgrade in tasks of reading and metasyntactical skills. It is concluded that the effectiveness of the intervention program has an important pedagogical implication as it shows that it is possible to recover lateness in written language in children of the early years of elementary education through training in phonological awareness, grapheme-phoneme matching and syntactical awareness in actual circumstances of the classroom.

[pt] Esta dissertação examina com enfoques estruturais e funcionais, com base na gramática de valências, as realizações dos verbos medir, pesar, custar e durar com o objetivo específico de abordar o relacionamento dos elementos frásicos desses verbos. Na concepção tradicional, os verbos aqui estudados são classificados ora como transitivos, ora como intransitivos e os elementos à direita como objeto direto e adjunto adverbial. Esse conceito de transitividade é insuficiente para a análise das realizações desses verbos. A partir das questões levantadas, é feita uma análise sintático-semântica das realizações desses verbos. O resultado da análise revela que rotular os elementos frásicos é restritivo pois não contempla a diversidade de traços semânticos imbricados nessas realizações, o que resulta em uma necessidade de avaliação do paradigma do ensino de análise sintática que vigora, tradicionalmente, em muitas instituições de ensino. / [en] This dissertation examines, within a structural and functional perspective and based on the valency grammar, the linguistic structures of the verbs of measurement (measure, weigh, cost and last) with the specific aim of discussing the grammatical relations of their phrasal elements. From a traditional standpoint, the verbs herein studied are classified either as transitive or as intransitive and the elements to their right denominated direct objects or adverbials. This concept of transitivity, however, is insufficient in analyzing the myriad uses of these verbs. From the issues raised in this paper, a syntactic-semantic analysis is provided. The conclusion illustrates that classifying the clause elements is restrictive since it does not take into account the diversity of semantic features expressed in these clauses, culminating in a need for rethinking the traditional teaching paradigm of syntactic analysis used by many schools.

Cette thèse porte sur la classification et le traitement des invariants lexicaux arabes qui expriment un aspect temporel afin de créer un modèle qui présente chaque invariant sous la forme d’un schéma de grammaire (automates à états finis). Dans ce travail nous avons limité notre traitement seulement pour 20 invariants lexicaux. Notre hypothèse part du principe que les invariants lexicaux sont situés au même niveau structural (formel) que les schèmes dans le langage quotient (squelette) de la langue arabe. Ils cachent beaucoup d’informations et entraînent des attentes syntaxiques qui permettent de prédire la structure de la phrase.Au début de cette thèse, nous abordons la notion « invariant lexical » en exposant les différents niveaux d’invariance. Ensuite, nous classons les invariants étudiés dans cette thèse selon plusieurs critères.La deuxième partie de cette thèse fait l’objet de notre propre étude concernant les invariants lexicaux temporels dans laquelle nous commençons par une présentation de notre méthode d’étude linguistique ainsi que la modélisation par schémas de grammaires des invariants lexicaux temporels étudiés. Ensuite, nous abordons l’analyse proprement dite des invariants lexicaux simples comme « ḥattā, baʿda » et complexes comme « baʿdamā, baynamā ».Enfin, une application expérimentale « Kawâkib » a été employée pour détecter et identifier les invariants lexicaux en montrant leurs points forts aussi bien que leurs lacunes. Nous proposons également une nouvelle vision de la prochaine version de « Kawâkib » qui peut représenter une application pédagogique de l'arabe sans lexique. / This thesis focuses on the classification and the treatment of Arabic lexical invariants that express a temporal aspect. Our aim is to create a diagram of grammar (finite state machine) for each invariant. In this work, we limited our treatment to 20 lexical invariants. Our assumption is that the lexical invariants are located at the same structural level (formal) as the schemes in the language quotient (skeleton) of the Arabic language. They hide much information and involve syntactic expectations that make it possible to predict the structure of the sentence.In the first part of our research tasks, we present the concept of “invariant lexical” by exposing the various levels of invariance. Then, we classify the invariants according to several criteria.The second part is the object of our own study concerning the temporal lexical invariants. We present our linguistic method as well as our approach of modelling using diagrams of grammars. Then, we analyze the simple lexical invariants such “ḥattā, baʿda” and the complexes ones such “baʿdamā, baynamā”.Finally, an experimental application “Kawâkib” was used to detect and identify the lexical invariants by showing their strong points as well as their gaps. We also propose a new vision of the next version of “Kawâkib” that can represent a teaching application of Arabic without lexicon.

Automatic syntactic analysis is essential for extracting useful information from large-scale learner data for linguistic research and natural language processing (NLP). Currently, researchers use standard POS taggers and parsers developed on native language to analyze learner language. Investigation of how such systems perform on learner data is needed to develop strategies for minimizing the cross-domain effects. Furthermore, POS taggers and parsers are developed for generic NLP purposes and may not be useful for identifying specific syntactic constructs such as subcategorization frames (SCFs). SCFs have attracted much research attention as they provide unique insight into the interplay between lexical and structural information. An automatic SCF identification system adapted for learner language is needed to facilitate research on L2 SCFs. In this thesis, we first provide a comprehensive evaluation of standard POS taggers and parsers on learner and native English. We show that the common practice of constructing a gold standard by manually correcting the output of a system can introduce bias to the evaluation, and we suggest a method to control for the bias. We also quantitatively evaluate the impact of fine-grained learner errors on POS tagging and parsing, identifying the most influential learner errors. Furthermore, we show that the performance of probabilistic POS taggers and parsers on native English can predict their performance on learner English. Secondly, we develop an SCF identification system for learner English. We train a machine learning model on both native and learner English data. The system can label individual verb occurrences in learner data for a set of 49 distinct SCFs. Our evaluation shows that the system reaches an accuracy of 84\% F1 score. We then demonstrate that the level of accuracy is adequate for linguistic research. We design the first multidimensional SCF diversity metrics and investigate how SCF diversity changes with L2 proficiency on a large learner corpus. Our results show that as L2 proficiency develops, learners tend to use more diverse SCF types with greater taxonomic distance; more advanced learners also use different SCF types more evenly and locate the verb tokens of the same SCF type further away from each other. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the proposed SCF diversity metrics contribute a unique perspective to the prediction of L2 proficiency beyond existing syntactic complexity metrics.

Cette recherche a deux objectifs, la systématisation de la prosodie fondamentale du japonais langue commune et l’application de ce système prosodique à une méthode didactique. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, nous cernons d'abord un cadre théorique adaptable au japonais en nous fondant sur la théorie de la "Grammaire de l’intonation" de Morel et Danon-Boileau (1998). Ensuite, nous analysons deux types de corpus, les premières phrases d'informations télévisées, dont le style est proche de celui de l’écrit, et des extraits de dialogue spontané. Les résultats de l’analyse du corpus d'écrit oralisé corroborent une hypothèse selon laquelle l’unité discursive, qui est dans l’ordre fondamental des constituants tel que défini par la fonction de détermination correspondant à un marqueur syntaxique/discursif spécifique, doit être réalisée par la prosodie fondamentale conformément à la fonction de détermination. Les indices suprasegmentaux de cette prosodie sont la position et la durée de la pause et la mélodie des séquences du modifiant et du modifié. En application de ce système prosodique, nous proposons une méthode d’enseignement d’accès facile pour l’enseignant et l’apprenant sur les plans théorique et didactique, grâce au critère binaire de la fonction de détermination d'une part, et d’un indice "écrit", le marqueur syntaxique/discursif, d'autre part. L’analyse du corpus d’oral montre que dans l’oral la fonction de détermination n’est pas représentée par le marqueur spécifique ni par la pause, qui sont remplacés par un indice intonatif à la fin du constituant, tandis que la fonction énonciative est réalisée par l’intonation des particules finales. / This research has two objectives: a systematization of the fundamental prosody of Japanese as a common language, and an application of this prosodic system to teaching method. To attain these objectives, we first fix a theoretical framework adaptable to Japanese based on the theory "Grammaire de l’intonation" (Intonation Grammar) of Morel and Danon-Boileau (1998). We then analyze two types of corpus, readings of lead sentences of TV news, whose style are close to the written style, and extracts from spontaneous dialogues. The results of analysis of the corpus in uttered-written style corroborate the hypothesis that the discursive unit, which is in the fundamental constituent order defined by the function of determination corresponding to a specific syntactic/discursive marker, must be realized by the fundamental prosody conforming to the function of determination. The supra-segmental indicia of this prosody are the position and the length of pauses and the pitch pattern of sequences of modifier and modified. With application of this prosodic system, we propose a teaching method easily accessible both to the teacher and the learner in theoretical and didactical aspects through the binary criterion of the function of determination and a "written" indicium, the specific syntactic/discursive marker. The analysis of the corpus in spoken style shows that in this style, the function of determination is represented neither by the marker nor by the pause, which are replaced by the intonated indicium at the end of constituent, whereas the enunciative function is realized by intonation of the final particles.

Le projet de la thèse a consisté au développement et à l’évaluation des performances d’une mousse syntactique phénolique pour la réalisation d’un système sandwich multicouche (cœur/peau en matériau composite). Il permet d’assurer la protection thermique, mécanique et au feu en particulier contre l’impact d’un feu torche. Un feu torche peut survenir sur un site pétrochimique suite à l’inflammation d’une fuite de fluides inflammables sous pression pouvant être très dévastateur par son effet abrasif et le flux convectif et radiatif intense. Le travail s’est essentiellement axé sur l’étude de l’efficacité de la mousse syntactique phénolique à partir d’une analyse de la relation microstructure-propriété. Les exigences de mise en œuvre ont imposé une maîtrise de la formulation par une bonne compréhension de la réactivité de la résine, notamment par rapport aux différentes transformations physiques (gélification, vitrification) qui ont lieu pendant le processus de réticulation. Il s’agit alors d’optimiser le dosage des différents composés actifs et additifs vis-à-vis des contraintes de mise en œuvre afin de parvenir à des propriétés optimales du matériau final. L’efficacité de ce dernier dans les conditions normales d’utilisation a été déterminée par une phase d’expérimentation complète sur ses propriétés mécaniques, thermiques et thermomécaniques. Des tests au feu ont permis d’étudier son comportement au feu afin de vérifier ses propriétés protectrices sous l’impact d’une flamme issue d’un feu torche. Enfin, un essai instrumenté capable de reproduire en condition réelle une fuite de gaz de propane à haute pression a été mis au point pour évaluer la performance au feu torche d’un prototype industriel complet. En parallèle, un modèle numérique simplifié a été proposé afin de simuler l’impact d’un tel feu. / This work consisted in the development and the evaluation of a phenolic syntactic foam performance for the production of a multilayer sandwich system (core/skin in composite material). It ensures thermal, mechanical and fire protection, in particular against the impact of a jet fire. A jet fire can occur on a petrochemical site resulting from the combustion of a fuel continuously released under pressure. It can be very devastating for its abrasive effect and intense convective and radiative flux. The work focuses mainly on the study of the effectiveness of the phenolic syntactic foam through the analysis of the relationship microstructure-propriety. The manufacturing process requirements imposed to control the elaboration via a good understanding of the reactivity of the resin, especially in relation to various physical transformations (gelation, vitrification) that take place during the curing mechanisms. That involves optimizing the proportions of the various active compounds and additives depending on the working conditions in order to achieve optimal properties of the final material. The effectiveness of this final material under normal conditions of use was determined by a complete testing phase on its mechanical, thermal and thermomechanical properties. Fire tests were also conducted to investigate the material burning behavior to ensure its protective properties under a jet flame impact. Finally, a large-scale instrumented test, reproducing in real conditions a propane gas leak at high pressure, was developed to evaluate the resistance to a jet fire of a complete industrial prototype. In parallel, a simplified numerical model was also proposed to simulate the impact of such a fire.

在日常對話中，通常一次只有一個人說話，然而，卻常常發現有不只一個談話者同時說話的情形。這種違反常規的重疊現象(overlappings)可分為疊話(overlaps)跟插話(interruptions)。大部份的學者依據句法結構或音韻觀點來區分疊話跟插話，似仍有遺漏，故本篇論文嘗試依據插話的語意內容來區分這兩種重疊現象，又本文的重點是放在插話的研究，作者試從語法角色(grammatical roles)、順序(linear order)、語用功能、及社會因素來探討插話者如何成功的襲奪被插話者的說話權利。 本篇論文的語料採自十一個雙人面對面的日常對話，其中男生和男生的對話其三份，女生和女生的對話以及男女之間的對話各四份。此分類方式是基於觀察交談者之間性別的異同所帶來的權力(power)以及等同性(solidarity)是否會影響插話的頻率、位置、和語用功能的分配。在語料中將區分所有疊話和插話，同時標記語用功能，及插話者和被插話的性別以便於做統計分析。 本篇論文發現插話現象主要是受順序先後的影響，百分之八十的插話發生在前5到8個位置，且這些位置不受特殊語法角色的限制，此外，插話通常發生在詞組外而非在詞組內。至於插話的語用功能，以做澄清功能(clarification)為最多，反對功能(disagreement)次之，確認功能(confirmation)最少。而單就插話者的性別而言，女生所引發的插話頻率跟男生相近，這可能是由於女生的高教育背景，使女生有獨立思考的能力、較高的社會地位，與充分的發言權，再加上過於強調男女平權，使女生的插話頻率提高。而在考慮插話者與被插話者的性別方面，的確發現了權力的影響力，男生打岔女生的頻率確實高於女生打岔男生的頻率，但兩者差距不大，一方面可能是男生為要表現社會禮儀以示對女生的尊重，另一方面可能是漠視女生的知識能力而不與之爭辯，故其打岔的頻率不如預期的高。 在高教育背景的影響之下，女生開始要求男女平等，進而嘗試跳脫中國傳統性別角色的限制。於是，女生和男生的插話行為將因性別限制的解除而趨於一致。 / Transition of turn in daily conversation is not always rule-governed. Violation of turn-taking rules may result in overlapping, which includes overlap and interruption. Differentiation of the two by syntactic and phonological criteria may sometimes fail. To remedy the problem, it is suggested that the communicative purpose of overlapping should be taken into consideration. That is, if the overlapping evokes cooperation, it should be counted as overlap; if it entails antagonism and competition, it should be judged as interruption. The focus of this study is to find out how syntactic structure, timing, pragmatic functions, and social constraints influence the emergence of interruption. The data needed in this study were collected from eleven dyadic face to face daily conversations, including three male-male conversations, four female-female conversations, and four male-female conversations. In each conversation, interruptions are identified and categorized by their pragmatic functions and by the interrupter's and interruptee's gender. The results of this study indicates that timing is more influential to the occurrence of interruption than the grammatical roles of the syntactic sites in which interruptions take place. It is found that about 80% of interruption occurs in the first eight positions in sentences with transitive verbs and the first five positions in sentences with intransitive verbs. In these positions, grammatical roles of all kinds may appear. In addition, interruptions are found to occur more frequently on syntactic junctures than within syntactic constituents. As to pragmatic functions of interruptions, there is a priority order among three of the pragmatic functions that interruptions serve, with interruption for clarification overrides interruption for disagreement, which suppresses interruption for confirmation. As for the social constraints on interruption, first, females, unexpectedly, interrupt their interlocutors as frequently as males do. Promotion of social-economic status through education and emergence of self-confidence are offered to explain why women initiate many interruptions. On the other hand, superficial courtesy and man chauvinism are provided to explain why men interrupt less often than expected. Next, when both the interrupter's and the interruptee's genders are taken into consideration, the influence of power is revealed only in cross gender conversation, with males' interrupting females more than their being interrupted by females. On the surface, both men and women interrupt their interlocutors. However, underlyingly, men interrupt to show power to control, while women interrupt to show power to resist control. It seems that men, in Chinese society, are still the dominating sex. It is predicted that the power difference between men and women will be alleviated in the future. At that time, the two sexes will share the same patterns of interruptions.

漢語語法研究，自《馬氏文通》(1898)以來，到了本世紀三、四十年代在「革新」的旗幟下，在南方的一批語法學家展開了「文法革新討論」而探索漢語語法研究的新方向和方法；在北方，出現了三套的漢語語法的新體系。高名凱(1910~1965)是語言學家，漢語語法學者。四、五十年代漢語語法界的重要人物。他在哲學的基礎下，對漢語語法有深入的探究，並且在普通語言學方面有突出的成就。他在漢語語法方面主要專著《漢語語法論》（初版1948；修訂本1957）是從句法角度分析來研究漢語的基本結構規則而歸納漢語結構的類型。他的語法論的主要特徵是：一、注重句法的研究；二、注重表示語法範疇的虛詞的研究；三、注意句型的研究。特別的是他把語法分為表知語法和表情語法，而從不同的角度探討漢語句法結構。本文主要探討高名凱論「漢語結構規則」標準及方法，即漢語句法結構的規則及其理論體系。他根據表知語法和表情語法，把句法分析分為造句法和句型結構法：造句法是根據表知語法角度進行分析漢語句法成分的語義關係，而歸納結構類型；句型結構法是根據表情語法的角度探討漢語句子的結構類型。筆者研究這一題目的主要目的在於：以《漢語語法論》為主要對象（以其他論著為輔），探索高名凱句法理論的主要特點。本文共分六章，各章重點如下：第一章緒論，主要介紹高名凱和他的《漢語語法論》在漢語語法研究史上的地位和價值，並簡述句法分析的方法及本文的研究方法。第二章主要簡述高名凱句法理論產生的背景及理論基礎。第三章造句法，主要探討高名凱漢語的造句規則和句法結構的類型，即句法結構的分類標準及他所歸納的五種（規定、引導、對注、並列和聯絡）結構類型。第四章句型結構法，主要探討高名凱的句型的分類方法和漢語句子類型，並討論高名凱所主張的表情語法的主要根據和表達情意的語法方式。第五章主要對高名凱句法理論體系的諸問題的進一步探討。主要有：（一）「詞組」的範圍問題；（二）主謂結構的定位問題；（三）結構虛詞；（四）特殊句式（以上是造句法）；（五）否定句問題；（六）詢問句和疑惑句的區分問題；（七）表情虛詞（以上是句型結構法）。第六章結論，重新檢討高名凱句法理論體系並加以評估。

<p>The aim of the present study is to examine how the development of <i>syntactic complexity</i> and <i>accuracy</i> in spoken Spanish L2 is related to two parameters, <i>motivation</i> and <i>aptitude</i>, in which <i>individual differences</i> are often claimed to correlate with successful second language learning (Dörnyei and Skehan 2003). The study shows how an understanding of the relationship between progression in second language proficiency and motivation is gained through the study of longitudinal data and the assessment of motivation in discourse. The development of syntactic complexity and accuracy in oral performance has been chosen as main indicators of <i>proficiency level</i>. <i>Correlations</i> have been computed between proficiency levels, <i>development coefficients</i>, quantitative outcomes of aptitude tests and quantified assessment of motivation. The study is based on longitudinal data consisting of recorded interviews and conversations in Spanish in Swedish upper secondary school. </p><p>The results from the progression analysis show that the whole group develops syntactic complexity, and that individual learners concentrate on either syntactic complexity or accuracy in their development. </p><p>Discourse analytical methods have been applied to the in-depth interviews in order to identify motivational types expressed by the learner and the strength of each type. These have been represented in terms of values on a self-determination scale, the extreme points of which are '<i>intrinsic</i>' vs. '<i>extrinsic</i>' motivation. An aptitude test (<i>Lat03</i>, Meara 2005) has also been administered to the participants and analysed . </p><p>Correlations (Spearman) have been further calculated between the relevant parameters. The results indicate that self-determined, intrinsic motivation correlates with progression. Analytic aptitude, however, does not predict progression to the same extent as intrinsic motivation seems to do at this level. </p>

<p>This survey focuses on the omissible constituents of a sentence, which not only relate to the verb but also describe the subject or object. In a sentence analysis, they cannot be determined by the syntactic structure alone, but need an additional semantic approach. These units are commonly used, but so far have been insufficiently described in grammars and research literature, although the understanding of the function of these units is necessary in order to be able to make a complete sentence analysis. Further, there is no consensus regarding terminology and classification. The term depictive secondary predication is commonly used in English, and the terms <i>prädikatives Attribut, freies Prädikativ </i>and <i>Koprädikativ</i> are the most widely used terms in German. In this study, the term <i>freies Prädikativ</i> (FP) is used. The classification of these constituents in the literature varies between FP, adverbials and in some cases attributes.</p><p>Based on the information available in German grammars and mainly German research literature, a model was developed, which makes it possible to distinguish FP from adverbials and attributes. A corpus containing German novels and newspapers was analysed in the light of this model. The controlled sentences of grammar books and research literature almost always use adjectives as examples of FP. This study shows that FP can be found in all types of phrases like adjective phrases, participle constructions, als- phrases and prepositional phrases. In addition, it is shown that FP occur with all types of verbs.</p>
