This article aims at presenting the quantitative approach to morphological productivity based mainly on Baayen's work. The discussion starts out from the widely accepted distinction between a qualitative and a quantitative approach. It is argued that there are two main quantitative approaches: one based on dictionaries, the other on large text corpora. While the dictionary-based investigation is limited to measures based on type frequency (V), the corpus-based research requires another variable: the token frequency (N). The main idea behind the relation of type frequency and token frequency is that the former (V) can be viewed as a function of the...

This paper deals with the French verbs aller 'to go' and venir 'to come' and their incompatibility with the resultative interpretation. Aller and venir are motion verbs denoting a transition. According to PUSTEJOVSKY (1991), verbs denoting a transition have the event structure .In this paper, I argue that this representation is unable to capture the inherent Aktionsart properties of aller and venir. I further argue that this representation fails to account for the fact that the verbs aller and venir disallow the resultative interpretation. In contrast with the verbs arriver, partir, entrer and...

A copy of this text is now in the Library Eggenberg in Český Krumlov and was the property of the princess Marie-Ernestine d'Eggenberg. It is an anonymous work, but it seems to be written by Francis Paul, Baron de Lisola (1613-1675), who took part at the most important negotiations between 1650 and 1675.He was born in Besançon (Franche-Comté) in a family of Italian origin. His father belonged to the magistrate of Besançon and the young Francis studied laws at the University of Dôle. He became soon a diplomat at the service of Emperor Ferdinand III, of whom he was the representative in England during the Civil Wars. He played an important part...

Un homme obscur : le testament écologique de Marguerite YourcenarFrench

Un homme obscur: the ecological testament of Marguerite Yourcenar

Walter WAGNER

Écho des études romanes 2009, 5(1):89-100 | DOI: 10.32725/eer.2009.006  

This paper seeks to prove that Yourcenar's last fiction, the short novel Un homme obscur, anticipates the theories and values of the Deep Ecology Movement, whose founder was the Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess. His so-called ecosophy is meant to overcome the hegemonial relationship between man and his natural environment by stressing the intrinsic value of all non-human nature and abolishing its utilitarian status. As we have shown, Nathanaël, the hero of Yourcenar's novel, epitomizes the basic principles of Deep Ecology and does not only reveal the writer's environmental consciousness but also confirms her role as an ecological forerunner...
