Book Description
The simultaneously tautological and oxymoronic nature of word / image relations has become a subject of massive debate in the post-modern period. This is not only because of the increasing predominance of word / image messages within our modern media-saturated culture, but also because intellectual disciplines are becoming increasingly sensitized to the essentially hybrid nature of the way we construct meaning in the world. The essays in this volume offer an exemplary insight into both aspects of this phenomenon. Focussing on both traditional and modern media (theatre, fiction, poetry, graphic art, cinema), the essays of Reading Images and Seeing Words are deeply concerned to show how it is according to signifying codes (rhetoric, poetics, metaphor), that meaning and knowledge are produced. Not the least value of this collection is the insight it gives into the multiple models of word / image interaction and the rich ambiguity of the tautological and oxymoronic relations they embody.

Book Description
By linguistic close-reading of more than a thousand letters from the 12th through the 18th centuries - written in Latin, Swedish, French, German, and English - this compilation analyzes the differences in language and communication between women and men. Armed with an exhaustive stylistic analysis, this volume attempts to answer the question Is there a special niche reserved for women's language? As it pinpoints the variations in how women expressed themselves when addressing men or other women, 'this detailed investigation of style and expression comes to the conclusion that there is no evidence for a particular female language; however, this authoritative work is a joy to follow for anyone interested in language, linguistics, stylistic analysis, and gender.

Book Description
Cet ouvrage offre un panorama des méthodes et des outils utilisables pour les analyses phonétiques sur de grands corpus oraux. Les ressources considérables dont nous disposons aujourd'hui dans le domaine de l’oral, en sont venues à jouer un rôle majeur pour les phonologues et les phonéticiens, qui entreprennent de soumettre leurs hypothèses théoriques à des tests empiriques étendus. On a vu se généraliser l'utilisation d'un large ensemble d'instruments et de méthodes pour le traitement et l'analyse automatique des données recueillies. L'ouvrage aborde notamment le prétraitement des données acoustiques, l’extraction (semi-)automatique des paramètres d’analyse, la mise en relation entre les données acoustiques et les catégories phonologiques. L’accent est placé sur le français, et les données recueillies dans le projet « Phonologie du français contemporain » sont utilisées dans de nombreux exemples. Une large place est accordée à la contribution des technologies de la parole, et notamment les systèmes de reconnaissance automatique de la parole, à l’analyse phonétique des grands corpus oraux.

Book Description
This book provides a complete guide to analyzing literary works, from an introduction of basic principles to the finer details. Separated into three sections, the book covers: • Principles—this looks at what literary analysis is, its three main components, and the various possible objects of analysis. • Main components—introduces nearly 30 aspects of text analysis, such as style, themes, social aspects, and context, and then goes on to introduce nearly 50 approaches, such as literary history, ecocriticism, narratology, and sociology. • The process of analysis—details the general structure of the analytical text, the structure of a pedagogical essay, the analysis of a theoretical element, possible “plans” for the analytical text, methods of argumentation, statements of opinion, hypotheses, the structure of paragraphs, and the use of citations. This book is a synthesis of established scholarship with new, original insights, making it an ideal introduction to the study of literature as well as a valuable companion throughout further study.
