It is suggested that the so-called ‘autofocal’ second tenses attested in Coptic are characterised by uniform illocutionary properties. In most and perhaps all cases these constructions seem to appear when speakers view the propositional content of what is said as unacceptable, invalid, or, less often, defective in terms of its information value. It...

La notion d'injustice épistémique proposée par Miranda Fricker (2007) a eu un grand succès. Mais elle est obscure.Est-ce la découverte d'une nouvelle forme d'injustice, jusque là ignorée? Ou un label désignant une injustice au sens classique,mais relevant du domaine de la formation, de l'interprétation et de la transmission du savoir? Le fait que c...

This paper aims to show that truth is neutral with respect to metaphysics and epistemology. In other words, the paper states that in order to make an analysis about our daily use of truth discourse, it is not necessary to refer to neither the nature of the world nor the nature of our epistemic capacities. The text is composed by three sections. In ...

La subordination dite « inverse » est un phénomène que mentionnent aussi bien les grammaires de référence que les ouvrages et articles de linguistique moderne. Les divers éléments définitoires de la subordination inverse habituellement proposés par les grammaires (postposition de la subordonnée temporelle, opposition aspectuelle du type inaccompli ...

Notre étude porte sur des usages particuliers de 'avant que' ou 'avant de' (subsumés sous AV) qui, au lieu d'introduire une proposition subordonnée dont le contenu serait présupposé, permettent une relation de succession temporelle entre deux propositions également assertées. La construction associée à ce type d'usage, désignée comme construction e...

This paper presents the results of corpus research on the distribution of different functional-pragmatic types of it-clefts and c'est-clefts in English and French adverbial clauses. We distinguish between narrowly contrastive clefts, broadly contrastive clefts (or new information focus clefts) and non-contrastive clefts. We present the results of c...

Frege introduced the notion of pragmatic force as what distinguishes statements from questions. This distinction was elaborated by Wittgenstein in his later works, and systematised as an account of different kinds of speech acts in formal dialogue theory by Hamblin. It lies at the heart of the inferential semantics more recently developed by Brando...

A construction in which negation, at first glance, negates presupposition is considered. It is shown that, even in this construction, presupposition retains its chief property of not being negated when the sentence is negated.

In this paper I take issue with Antomo & Steinbach’s (2010) analysis of so-called weil-V2 clauses, by which the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic properties distinguishing them from integrated verb-final weil-clauses are claimed to all follow from two central factors: (i) parataxis triggering prosodic desintegration, (ii) V2-order triggering asser...
