Pages : 134
Book Description
A travers le regard attentif et curieux d'un infatigable voyageur, des rencontres, des anecdotes et des coïncidences fortuites dévoilent le monde folk européen dans toute sa beauté et son authenticité. Un monde fait de musique et de musiciens, de danses et de danseurs, d'instruments et de luthiers, de festivals et de joie. Mais il est également constitué d'un patrimoine culturel et de valeurs que la sagesse centenaire des traditions a confié à un Homme moderne, toujours plus éloigné de la communauté, de la nature et de lui-même. Au temps d'Internet, du progrès technologique et de la mondialisation, parler de traditions, de proverbes, de dialectes, d'instruments anciens et de danses populaires peut sembler anachronique. Le message renfermé dans ces pages vous fera réfléchir sur le caractère actuel de ces langages populaires et sur la façon dont ils peuvent guider l'Homme vers un chemin conscient.
Dictionary of Louisiana French
Author: Albert ValdmanPublisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1628468335
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 2218
Book Description
The Dictionary of Louisiana French (DLF) provides the richest inventory of French vocabulary in Louisiana and reflects precisely the speech of the period from 1930 to the present. This dictionary describes the current usage of French-speaking peoples in the five broad regions of South Louisiana: the coastal marshes, the banks of the Mississippi River, the central area, the north, and the western prairie. Data were collected during interviews from at least five persons in each of twenty-four areas in these regions. In addition to the data collected from fieldwork, the dictionary contains material compiled from existing lexical inventories, from texts published after 1930, and from archival recordings. The new authoritative resource, the DLF not only contains the largest number of words and expressions but also provides the most complete information available for each entry. Entries include the word in the conventional French spelling, the pronunciation (including attested variants), the part of speech classification, the English equivalent, and the word's use in common phrases. The DLF features a wealth of illustrative examples derived from fieldwork and textual sources and identification of the parish where the entry was collected or the source from which it was compiled. An English-to-Louisiana French index enables readers to find out how particular notions would be expressed in la Louisiane.
Coulomb's Memoir On Statics: An Essay In The History Of Civil Engineering
Author: Jacques HeymanPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 1783262575
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Coulomb read his Essai on ‘some statical problems’ to the French Academy in 1773. It is a document of great importance in the history of engineering since it laid the foundations of the modern science of soil mechanics and also discussed three other major problems of eighteenth-century civil engineering: the bending of beams, the fracture of columns and the calculation of abutment thrusts developed by masonry arches.Professor Heyman's book makes the Essai accessible to a wide range of engineers and historians of technology. It is here reproduced in full with an annotated English translation, a chapter elucidating Coulomb's references and with full discussion of the technical problems it treats. It concludes with some brief historical notes on Coulomb's life and technical education in eighteenth-century France.

Lifestyle Politics in Translation
Author: M. Cristina CaimottoPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000610209
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
This book investigates the role of translation processes in the shaping and re-shaping of ideological discourse and their impact on the actors involved in the translation process, focusing on institutional texts and their influence on lifestyle issues both public and personal. The volume employs a unique approach in its focus on "lifestyle politics," examining texts produced by political actors, such as international organizations and national governments, and their translations. The book draws on an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating work from translation studies and linguistics with political science and economics, and applies it to English and French versions of the same documents, calling attention to ideological differences across versions. In light of our increasingly globalized world, Caimotto and Raus demonstrate the ways in which globalized discourse undergoes processes of depoliticization and marketization which produce a trickle-down effect on individuals’ personal identities. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in translation studies, critical discourse analysis, and political science.
