- PublicationAccès libreDistribution of modal expressions of possibility and necessity in three encyclopedias covering two diachronic spans (18th and 21st centuries)(2020-6-16)
; ; ; ; The aim of this paper is to measure to what extent the modalities of possibility and necessity are represented in three French encyclopedic corpora covering two diachronic spans, the 18th and the 21st centuries, by applying a statistical approach to linguistic data. Using log-likelihood, we will measure over- and under-representation of morphological and lexical modal forms in those encyclopedias, as well as their association with other linguistic items. Correspondence analysis will then be used to give a more holistic view of these associations. It will be shown that the two types of modality studied are used differently in the 18th century encyclopedic corpus compared to the two corpora from the 21st century. - PublicationAccès libre
- PublicationAccès libreDiscursive Functions of French Modal Forms: What Can Correspondence Analysis Tell Us About Genre and Diachronic Variation?(Springer, 2018-6-18)
; ; ; Our aim is to describe discursive functions of a set of French modal forms by establishing their combinatory profiles based on their co-occurrence with different connectors. We then compare these profiles using correspondence analysis in order to find evidence of genre and diachronic variation. The use of these forms is explored in contexts of informative discourse within two distinctly different genres—contemporary written press and encyclopedic discourse—as well as within two diachronic spans. - PublicationMétadonnées seulement
