The presented thesis deals with the historic-linguistic analysis of private travelogues of Kašpar Šternberk that were arosen in the years 1786 and 1787. Historical part is dedicated to the family of Sternberk, the life of Caspar Sternberg and political, social, cultural and linguistic development in 18th century. The textological part is oriented on syntactic - stylistic and lexical analysis of the text. According to the research, in the travelogues that is written as diary, the paratactic phrase exceeds hypotactic phrase. Hypotactic phrase consists mainly of the subordinate declarative clauses. Due to these results, the finitum was found mostly on the second and last place in a sentence. With few exceptions the position of finitum was strictly kept as well as sentence frame. By the research of the lexical analysis there was found out that in the diaries the words coming from Latin, Greek, French and Italian occur. There are mainly the expressions connected with architecture, science and art.

The slang is a cryptology extracted from common lexis and therefore those words group became part of the vocabulary of one group only. Our aim is to verify the relation between their life and their specific vocabulary. We made an analysis of this marginal group formed upon the internals of FEBEM with the aim to verify how they relationship with each other and how this relationship influence directly on the way they express themselves / Este é um trabalho sobre a linguagem gíria empregada pelos internos da FEBEM. Nosso objetivo é verificar a relação existente entre a vida do interno e seu vocabulário. Neste trabalho fazemos uma análise do grupo marginal formado pelos internos da FEBEM com o intuito de verificar de que maneira os internos se relacionam e como essa relação influencia diretamente a linguagem que utilizam. Por ser a gíria uma forma de expressão cultural de um determinado grupo, acreditamos que seja de extrema importância o estudo dessa linguagem restrita, formada a partir do conflito estabelecido por um grupo fechado com a sociedade, pois, por meio dessa linguagem , os membros do grupo descarregam suas emoções e atacam a comunidade maior

The thesis on Linguistic analysis of choice speeches aims to introduce the issue of speeches. We will focus on basic building system these speeches, carry out characteristics language means in terms of phonology, morphology, syntax and lexis. The speeches will be analyzed after the linguistic and stylistic and compared.

Cette recherche porte sur l’étude des spécificités liées à l’apprentissage, dans un contexte interculturel. Elle se situe à l’intersection des réflexions menées sur les champs conceptuels traitant du lexique mental de l’adolescent et de l’existence de deux grandes orientations cognitives, en liaison avec la culture locale et la culture scolaire en lycée professionnel à La Réunion. Le contexte de cette étude réside dans le constat que les apprenants activeraient préférentiellement un certain type de logique selon les contextes d’enculturation. Il existe deux systèmes de développement parallèles. L’un conditionne l’autre en fonction de sa localisation. Ainsi, il y aurait une relation entre les codes linguistiques utilisés et les performances scolaires. Deux groupes d’adolescents, scolarisés dans un lycée professionnel au Nord de l’île acceptent de se soumettre aux tests. Ce panel de données est en nombre suffisant pour décrire et observer le comportement et les relations existantes au sein de notre population. Un certain nombre d’épreuves proviennent des évaluations de l’Éducation Nationale (ce2) et (6e). Pour compléter notre étude, nous comparons celles-ci avec les épreuves de Jean Piaget et des épreuves du Binet-Simon. Les résultats montrent des différences interculturelles. Ils suggèrent une perte des performances d’environ 40 % entre le niveau ce2 et l’entrée en 6e. Moins de 1 élève sur 2 réussit les épreuves de fin de primaire. Les épreuves tirées des différentes théories (Jean Piaget et Binet-Simon) sont significatives et indiquent un âge cognitif de 9-10 ans concernant la population étudiée. / This research work is about the specific characteristics linked to learning in a multicultural context. It takes place at the crossroads between reflections on the conceptual fields dealing with the teenagers’ mental lexis and the two great existing cognitive orientations, in relation with local culture in vocational schools in Reunion Island. The context of this study lies in observing that learners might preferentially activate a certain kind of logic: whether it be an abstract logic or a natural logic depending on the contexts of integration. There exist two systems of development, which are parallel. One conditions the other according to its localization. Thus, there might be a relation between the linguistic codes used on the island and the learners’ performances at school. Two groups of teenagers attending the same vocational school in the island agreed to submit themselves to a battery of tests. This sample of data stands as numerically sufficient to describe and observe behavior and existing relations inside our population. Concerning of tests, were taken in the assessment-diagnosis implemented by the French Ministry of Education – their levels are: entering the consolidation of knowledge and the end of them. Then some Piaget’s evaluations as well as evaluations Binet-Simon were used. They suggest a loss in performance of around 40% between the level of the second year of primary school and the level at entering the first of secondary school. Less than one pupil out of two succeeds at the evaluations. The Piaget’s evaluations and the evaluation on verbal thinking linked with cognitive age would be that of a 9 year old.

Master’s thesis is devoted to the complex description of the semantic-motivational field “Deceit” mainly on the material of Russian dialect lexis and phraseology. The work belongs to ethnolinguistics, that involves the reconstruction of a fragment of the Russian linguistic world picture, reflecting beliefs about deceit. The main methods by which the research is conducted are semantic, motivational and etymological analysis. In particular, the thesis includes defining the semantic components related to the concept of deceit (i.e. answering the questions “What do speakers mean by deceit?” and “What actions are represented in the language as deceptive?”), the field’s division on the semantic sectors, revealing links between the concept of deceit and other semantic areas (intelligence, speech, relations to work, etc.), founding narrow and cross-cutting motives of nominations, as well as basic nominative models used by the field; in addition, the etymological solutions are proposed for the number of motivationally “dark” items. / Магистерская диссертация посвящена комплексному описанию семантико-мотивационного поля «Обман» преимущественно на материале лексики и фразеологии русских народных говоров. Работа выполнена в русле этнолингвистики, что подразумевает реконструкцию фрагмента русской языковой картины мира, отражающего представления об обмане. Основные методы, с помощью которых проводится исследование – семантический, мотивационный и этимологический анализ. В частности, в рамках диссертации были определены смысловые компоненты, относящиеся к понятию обмана (то есть даны ответы на вопросы «Что носители языка понимают под обманом?» и «Какие действия “изображаются” в языке как обманные?»), произведено членение поля на семантические секторы, выявлены связи между сферой обмана и другими смысловыми сферами (интеллекта, речевых действий, отношений к труду и проч.), обнаружены частные и сквозные мотивы номинации, характерные для поля, а также основные номинативные модели, им используемые; кроме того, были предложены этимологические решения для ряда «темных» в мотивационном отношении лексем.

Après des décennies d'amélioration, l'espérance de vie a stagné dans plusieurs pays à faible mortalité ces dernières années, avec, dans certains cas, quelques reculs. L’augmentation de la mortalité due à la grippe et aux surdoses de drogue, en particulier dans la génération des baby-boomers, a été le principal responsable de cette stagnation de l’espérance de vie. Cette découverte était inattendue, car il est considéré que la mortalité extrinsèque – par opposition à la mortalité intrinsèque due à des maladies dégénératives se déclarant souvent aux grands âges – joue un rôle négligeable dans les changements actuels d'espérance de vie. Pour la même raison, les tendances temporelles de la mortalité extrinsèque n’ont guère retenu l’attention des chercheurs. Les crises périodiques dues aux épidémies de grippe et à la crise des opioïdes sont considérées comme les principaux déterminants des variations de la mortalité extrinsèque. Cependant, des preuves récentes suggèrent que les effets de cohorte jouent un rôle important dans la modulation de la mortalité extrinsèque, mais que de telles influences sont encore mal connues. L'objectif principal de cette thèse est d'examiner le rôle des effets de cohorte sur l’évolution de la mortalité extrinsèque dans les dernières décennies, avec un accent particulier mis sur la grippe et les causes de décès comportementales. Plus spécifiquement, elle vise à (1) déterminer les différences par cohorte de mortalité par la grippe et l’influence des expositions précoces au virus sur cette mortalité; (2) analyser le désavantage de mortalité des baby-boomers au Canada et aux États-Unis en identifiant la contribution des causes comportementales à ce désavantage; et (3) développer un outil méthodologique permettant à la fois l'analyse visuelle de la dynamique temporelle des effets non linéaires d'âge, de période et de cohorte (APC) et la comparaison entre divers phénomènes ou populations. Pour ces analyses, nous utilisons des micro-données de mortalité provenant de systèmes de statistiques de l’état civil au Canada et aux États-Unis. Nous utilisons également les taux de mortalité et de fécondité de divers pays pour généraliser l'analyse visuelle des effets non linéaires à d'autres phénomènes démographiques que la mortalité. Les analyses ont été réalisées en appliquant des modèles de Serfling pour l’estimation de la mortalité par grippe, des mesures démographiques permettant une décomposition par cause des variations de la mortalité, des techniques de lissage pour identifier les tendances et des approches statistiques et visuelles sur des configurations de Lexis pour l’analyse des effets APC. Les résultats, sous la forme de trois articles scientifiques, montrent que malgré des fluctuations marquées au cours des années calendrier (période), les cohortes de naissance ont une influence indépendante et durable sur la mortalité liée à la grippe ou due au comportement. Les principaux résultats du premier article suggèrent que deux mécanismes modulent la mortalité grippale au fil des cohortes. Pour la population jeune et adulte, les risques de mortalité par cohortes dépendent du contraste en le premier virus auquel on est vraisemblablement exposé (le virus laissant« l’empreinte antigénique ») et le virus rencontré à l’âge adulte, au moment de l’épidémie sous observation. Des modifications significatives du risque de décès ont ainsi été observées lors d’épidémies de grippes pour les cohortes nées lors d'importants changements antigéniques (par exemple, une diminution significative du risque pour les cohortes nées entre 1957 et 1968). Pour les âges plus avancés, nous n’avons pas identifié de tels effets de cohorte « ponctuels », mais plutôt un effet de cohorte de plus longue haleine, qui aura conduit à un déclin progressif de la mortalité par grippe entre 1959 et 2016. En nous inspirant des théories dites de technophysio ou de cohort morbidity phenotype, nous attribuons ce déclin à des changements s’étant produit bien avant, c’est-à-dire à l’amélioration marqué des conditions sanitaires qui a eu lieu entre 1900 et 1930, au moment où les cohortes concernées venaient au monde et dont elles ont pu bénéficier. Les travaux du deuxième article de cette thèse révèlent que la plupart des excès de mortalité chez les baby-boomers au Canada et aux États-Unis sont dus à des causes comportementales. Le désavantage des baby-boomers résulte de plusieurs effets de cohortes sur des causes comportementales différentes, et non pas d'effets de période ponctuels affectant la même cohorte aux âges différents, un mécanisme alternatif qui pourrait expliquer la «pénalité des boomers». Les baby-boomers présentaient respectivement un risque d'hépatite C et de mortalité par drogue trois fois et deux fois plus élevé que les cohortes voisines. La contribution méthodologique des graphique de courbure APC, présentée dans le troisième article, nous a permis d'analyser la dynamique des effets non linéaires au fil du temps, à travers divers phénomènes et populations. Cette technique offre une plus grande flexibilité que les modèles statistiques ou autres graphiques de Lexis. Les résultats présentés dans cette thèse montrent l'importance d'analyser les effets de cohortes sur la mortalité extrinsèque. Nos résultats indiquent que même en présence de perturbations de période importantes affectant la mortalité extrinsèque à la plupart des âges, les effets de cohorte se sont maintenus au fil du temps. Ces résultats suggèrent également que les politiques publiques peuvent améliorer considérablement la santé de la population en formulant des politiques qui prennent en compte la sensibilité différentielle des cohortes aux facteurs de risque et en fournissant un soutien social aux cohortes les plus vulnérables. / After decades of improvement, life expectancy momentarily declined during 2014-15 in several high income countries, with subsequent reversals in some cases. The main sources of this stagnation have been increases in mortality from influenza and drug overdoses, mainly for the baby-boomer generation. This trend is unexpected because it has long been assumed that extrinsic mortality, which is due to causes originating outside the body – in opposition to intrinsic mortality from degenerative diseases at old ages –, plays a negligible role in life expectancy changes. For this reason, the temporal patterns of extrinsic mortality have received little attention in demographic research. Period crises such as influenza epidemics and the opioid crisis are considered the main determinants of variations of extrinsic mortality. However, despite recent evidence suggesting that cohort effects have an important role in modulating extrinsic mortality, little is known about this relationship. The main objective of this dissertation is to help fill this gap by examining cohort influences on extrinsic mortality change, with a particular emphasis on influenza and behavioral causes. More specifically, we aim (1) to quantify cohort differences in mortality from influenza and the influence of early life exposures to the virus on subsequent influenza mortality; (2) to analyze the baby boomers’ disadvantage in mortality in Canada and the United States, while identifying the contributions of behavioral causes to this disadvantage; and (3) to develop a methodological tool that can be used to both conduct visual analysis of the temporal dynamics of nonlinear Age-Period-Cohort (APC) effects, and compare these dynamics across various phenomena or populations. To achieve these goals, we use micro-level mortality data from vital statistics in Canada and the United States. We also employ death and fertility rates from various countries to generalize the visual analysis of nonlinear effects to other demographic phenomena. The analyses were conducted by applying Serfling models for the estimation of influenza mortality, demographic measures for the decomposition of cause-specific mortality changes, smoothing techniques for the identification of trends, and statistical and visual approaches on the Lexis configuration for the analysis of APC effects. The results, in the form of three scientific articles, show that despite marked fluctuations over calendar years (periods), birth cohorts have an independent and sustained influence on influenza and mortality from behavioral causes. The main results from the first paper suggest that two mechanisms modulated influenza mortality over cohorts. For the young and adult population, the mortality risks over cohorts depend of the contrast between the first virus to which individuals were exposed (the virus producing an antigenic imprinting) and the virus encountered in adulthood during the observed epidemic. For this age segment, significant changes in risk were found during influenza epidemics among cohorts born during important antigenic shifts (e.g., a decrease in risk for cohorts born between 1957 and 1968). For older ages, we did not identify such “punctual” cohort effects but rather a smooth and monotonic change in cohort effects that might have driven a progressive decline in influenza mortality between 1959 and 2016. Inspired by so-called cohort morbidity phenotype and technophysio evolution theories, we attributed this decline to changes produced earlier, i.e., to the sharp sanitary improvements occurred between 1900 and 1930, when the concerned cohorts were born and when they could have benefited. Findings from the second paper revealed that most of the baby boomers’ excess mortality in Canada and the United States is driven by behavioral causes of death. The “boomer disadvantage” resulted from multiple cohort effects on behavioral-related mortality, and not from punctual period effects affecting the same cohort at different ages. Among the baby boomers, the risk of dying from hepatitis C was almost three times higher, and the risk of dying from drug-related causes was almost two times higher, than among the adjacent cohorts. These results were obtained using an innovative methodology developed in the third paper, which allowed us to analyze the dynamics of nonlinear effects over time through APC curvature plots. This technique provides greater flexibility than statistical models or other Lexis plots, and it has been shown to be applicable to other demographic phenomena, such as fertility. The findings presented in this dissertation offer evidence of the importance of analyzing cohort effects on extrinsic mortality. Our results indicate that even in the presence of substantial period disturbances affecting extrinsic mortality at most ages, cohort effects were sustained over time. These findings also suggest that public policies can significantly improve the health of the population by formulating policies that take into account the differential sensitivity of cohorts to risk factors and by providing social support to the most vulnerable cohorts.

La thèse porte sur l’étude de l’emploi stylistique du lexique juridique français dans la prose de Georges Simenon. Il existe un nombre considérable d’ouvrages consacrés à la terminologie juridique, aux concepts de loi et de crime, au comportement discursif des avocats, à l’analyse linguistique des textes de lois, aux problèmes de la traduction du lexique juridique, à l’interférence linguistique, à l’étude des particularités pragmatiques, structurelles et sémantiques des textes des traités, et ainsi de suite. Dans notre thèse, le lexique juridique est étudié du point de vue de la stylistique, ce qui constitue sa nouveauté théorique aussi bien que pratique. Dans le premier chapitre, nous examinons certains termes d’appartenance juridique exclusive selon le classement de Gérard Cornu et nous montrons qu’une sixième partie d’entre eux sont susceptibles, au moins potentiellement, d’acquérir des sens figurés. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous étudions 53 termes juridiques utilisés par Georges Simenon au sens figuré décrivant de différentes situations de la vie courante, qui, dans la plupart des cas, ne sont pas liées au droit. Dans le troisième chapitre nous analysons, du point de vue opposé, les figures stylistiques employées pour caractériser de différentes situations juridiques présentes dans la prose de Georges Simenon. Ainsi, même si ces figures stylistiques sont relativement peu nombreuses, les recherches effectuées montrent que Georges Simenon, malgré son intention affichée, n’est pas parvenu à éliminer complètement les figures stylistiques, un des éléments constitutifs essentiels du langage poétique. / Our thesis concerns studies of the stylistic use of the French legal vocabulary in Georges Simenon’s prose. In fact, legal terminology, concepts of law and crime, discursive behavior of lawyers, texts of laws, problems of legal translation, those of linguistic interference, those of pragmatic, structural and semantic peculiarities of the language of international agreements, for instance, were examined by different linguists. So, contemporary linguistics are interested in studying legal terminology from different points of view. On the other hand, during the last decades, linguostylistic studies are also developing very quickly. In our thesis, legal terminology is studied from the point of view of stylistics, and this approach constitutes its’ theoretical and practical novelty. In the first chapter we examine some terms belonging exclusively to legal terminology, in accordance with Gerard Cornu’s classification, and we show that in reality approximately one sixth part of them can acquire, at least potentially, some figural meanings. In the second chapter, we study 53 legal terms used by Georges Simenon in their figural meaning to describe different situations from everyday life which, in the most of cases, are not associated with legal situations. In the third chapter we analyze, from the opposite point of view, stylistic figures used to characterize different legal situations presented in Georges Simenon’s prose. To summarize, even if these figures are relatively small in number, our thesis shows that the writer, in spite of his artistic intention, was not able to eliminate them completely and that they remain one of the most important elements of the poetical language.

Dissertation thesis creates a complex and modern scheme for stochastic modeling of demographic processes, which is universally applicable to any population in the world. All calculations are described in detail on the data of the Czech Republic. Throughout the work the attention is drawn to the issues, that every analyst must necessarily take into account in order to obtain correct results. Data comes mostly from the Czech Statistical Office database. However, some data matrices had to be calculated for the purposes of the thesis. Particular demographic processes (mortality, fertility and migration) are modeled using selected modern approaches (ARIMA models, Lee-Carter method) and based on the constructed models these processes are forecasted to the future. Using partially projected results a comprehensive demographic projection of the population of the Czech Republic is created up to the year 2050. However, not on the basis of the current state and expert expectations of the future development, but based on sophistically projected demographic events, which are explained using the trends and main components of their previous development. This demographic projection is created in three scenarios (marked SC1, SC2 and SC3), which are made from selected optimal models, presented in particular sections of the work. One part of the thesis is also the backward retropolation of age-specific number of net migrants by sex in the Czech Republic since 1948. On its basis the analysis and prediction of the migration can be done. The thesis is a synthesis of the projections of demographic processess of mortality, fertility, and migration. Final results are confronted with three scenarios of population projections of the Czech Republic created by the Czech Statistical Office and five scenarios of population projections by Eurostat. The purely statistical approach of demographic forecasting in comparison with deterministic models and expert expectations has its positives and negatives. Therefore, the different results due to various methodological approaches are discussed and compared in the conclusion of the thesis.

The purpose of the study is to develop a model of a bilingual dictionary of investment terms. The subject of the research is investment terms in the English and Russian languages. The scope of the research includes developing the principles of compiling a bilingual dictionary of investment terms, including an appropriate methodological base. We used a set of scientific methods common for different scientific fields: descriptive method, classification of units, continuous sampling methods; as well as specific linguistic methods such as definition analysis, context analysis, semantic analysis. The work is novel in that it develops an English-Russian bilingual thesaurus of investment terms which can be used not only by specialists in linguistics, translation, and terminography, but also any person who deals with investment activities. The results of the research may be used in translation and interpreting practice, as teaching materials for students majoring in translation.

This thesis aims to explore an aspect of the history of vernacular speech through analysis of some eighteenth century verse texts. These satirical anti-Jesuit pamphlets by Nicolas Jouin, known as the 'Sarcelades', were collected posthumously in 'Le Vrai Recueil des Sarcelles' of 1764. The texts purport to be in the patois of the peasants of Sarcelles and show features which may be paralleled in the vernacular speech of Paris and elsewhere, and even correspond with features of contemporary colloquial French. The study may appeal to French historical sociolinguists interested in reconstructing spoken language of the past, and particularly in the history of vernacular speech of Paris since the Middle Ages through to the eighteenth century, in the context of the development of urban dialects. In order to set the scene for a linguistic description of Jouin’s work the limited biographical information available was collated. Then a period of bibliographical research led to acquisition of copies of the texts which were to be studied in order to identify and examine their non-standard linguistic features. Firstly the process of growth of urban dialects was discussed, and then the development of the Paris vernacular in particular. Then attention was turned to direct written evidence in the form of commentary and to a number of texts from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries containing features of the Paris vernacular. These had already been analysed by certain historical linguists, although the texts in the 'Sarcelades' had hitherto only been briefly mentioned. However, here they are considered to be of sufficient interest to be examined more closely, although it had to be established whether Jouin’s texts containing a selection of non-standard features could be regarded as an accurate depiction of the Paris vernacular at the period. The non-standard phonetic, morphological, syntactic, and lexical features in the texts were therefore compared with findings in other texts by previous commentators. Following these analyses it was noted to what extent the relative frequency of the variables correlates with the salience of certain features in popular speech in Paris at the period, as already observed in other texts by previous commentators, and it was concluded that in general established characteristics of the 'patois de Paris' at the period are to be found in the 'Sarcelades', even though there do remain certain features which do not appear to be generally attested elsewhere. Nevertheless, despite reservations concerning the authenticity of some of the non-standard features employed by Jouin, by bringing attention to this little-known series of texts this study may help to claim a place for the Sarcelades amongst the corpus of texts which reflect aspects of the lower-class sociolect, the 'patois de Paris', at the period.
