Change of object expression in the history of French : verbs of helping and hindering
This comprehensive case study of a systematic shift in object expression provides insight into the construal of a class of two-place activity verbs in the history of French and proposes that a change in the prepositional system underlies the shift. The book focuses on nineteen verbs of helping and hindering whose single internal object shifts from indirect to direct object during the 15th and 16th century. It describes how these verbs are distinguished from all other verbs that take indirect.
Descartes and the Resilience of Rhetoric
A careful analysis of the rhetorical thought of René Descartes and of a distinguished group of post-Cartesians. Covering a unique range of authors, including Bernard Lamy and Nicolas Malebranche, Carr attacks the idea, which has become commonplace in contemporary criticism, that the Cartesian system is incompatible with rhetoric.
Expletive and Referential Subject Pronouns in Medieval French
Medieval French, usually analyzed as a null subject language, differs considerably from modern Romance null subject languages such as Spanish in the availability of non-expressed subject pronouns; specifically, it shows characteristics reminiscent of non-null, rather than null subject languages, such as the expression of expletive subject pronouns. The central goal of this book is to put forward an account of these differences. On the basis of the analysis of an extensive, newly established data corpus, the development of the expression of both expletive and referential subject pronouns until the 17th c. is determined. Following a thorough discussion of previous approaches, an alternative approach is presented which builds on the analysis of Medieval French as a non-null subject language. The non-expression of subject pronouns, licit in specific contexts in non-null subject languages, is shown to be restricted to configurations generally involving left-peripheral focalization. These configurations – and, concomitantly, non-expressed subject pronouns – are finally argued to be eventually lost for good in the wake of the initial observation by 17th c. writers of pertinent instructions campaigned for in highly influential works of language use.
Constructions en changement : hommage à Paul Hirschbühler
Du français médiéval au français moderne, l'organisation de la phrase a connu des changements importants. Les quatre études réunies dans cet ouvrage abordent la question de l'ordre des mots dans la phrase ou dans le syntagme verbal. Ainsi, comment expliquer que du latin au français, nous sommes passés d'une langue où l'objet pouvait précéder le verbe à une langue où l'objet se retrouve en position postverbale? Que nous indique l'emploi de verbes tels que aller et venir tantôt avec avoir, tantôt avec être, aux 12e et 13e siècles sur la structure aspectuelle de la langue médiévale? Peut-on analyser des constructions du type de avoir peur, prendre garde comme des périphrases verbales dès les origines du français? Il s'agit là de questions qui sont au cœur des recherches en théorie du changement et des travaux de Paul Hirschbühler, à qui cet ouvrage est dédié. Trois des études portent sur un même corpus, soit le corpus MCVF (Modéliser le changement – Les voies du français).

\Lors est ce jour grant joie nee\
Ce volume regroupe huit contributions consacrées à la langue et la littérature françaises du moyen âge. Elles sont le reflet d’une journée d’étude organisée en l’honneur du professeur émérite Willy Van Hoecke, dont la passion pour la linguistique diachronique et la littérature médiévale françaises lui a fait développer des techniques d’édition critique à partir des oeuvres de Baudouin de Condé, technique qu’il appliquera aussi à l’édition de la Rectorique de Marc Tulles Cyceron, une traduction de deux traités de rhétorique latins réalisée par Jean d’Antioche à la fin du 13e siècle. Il mettra aussi au point une méthode pour l’étude empirique de l’évolution de la langue par le biais de traductions. Les études rassemblées en son honneur portent sur divers sujets: la phraséologie historique, des auteurs médiévaux, certaines figures littéraires, des destinataires de la littérature médiévale, des types particuliers de textes littéraires, et certains liens entre la littérature en moyen néerlandais et celle de l’ancien français.
