Author

Py, Bernard

Abstract

This article introduces this issue of the journal, a compilation of articles that share the common goal of drawing correlations between social representations and the dialogue that formulates them. Most of the articles were written by researchers working on a common project that aims to analyze the social representations of bilingualism in different regions and environments. The main purpose of this article is to work out a new definition of the term "social representation." (VWL)

7. To Be or Not to Be...A Plurilingual Speaker

Author

Ludi, Georges and Py, Bernard

Abstract

The bi/plurilingual person is a unique speaker-hearer who should be studied as such and not always in comparison with the monolingual. As such, unilingual linguistic models and perspectives based on the idea that bilingualism is a duplication of competences in two languages (or more) are unsuitable to describe plural practices in multilingual societies. This is a criticism we formulated over the years (Ludi & Py, 1986, 2003). The contribution discusses the relevance of alternative models, concepts and theoretical frameworks in the study of multi/plurilingualism and their potential in language studies and the understanding of second and third-language acquisition. We also discuss how these models and concepts find their way into classroom practice and language policies. (Contains 11 notes.)

Author

Neuchatel Univ. (Switzerland). Inst. de Linguistique., Py, Bernard, and Rubattel, Christian

Abstract

Three papers in linguistics, all in French, are presented. "La delocutivite lexicale en francais standard: esquisse d'un modele derivationnel" ("Lexical Delocutivity in Standard French: Sketch of a Derivational Model"), by Marc Bonhomme, examines the process by which certain expressions become neologisms. "La terminologie de l'Essai de grammaire de la langue francaise' de Damourette et Pichon" ("The Terminology of 'The Essay on Grammar of the French Language' by Damourette and Pichon"), by Ruedi Rohrbach, explores why grammarians Damourette and Pichon attempted to reinvent the terminology of grammar, and how their results are coherent but not always in accordance with empirical reality. In "Statut de langue et accommodation langagiere le long d'une frontiere linguistique" ("Status of Language and Language-Related Accommodation Along a Linguistic Frontier") (Shana Poplack), research on French language patterns along the border between French-majority Quebec and French-minority Ontario is presented. Individual papers contain references. (MSE)

12. Analyse des erreurs et grammaire generative: La syntaxe de l'interrogation en francais (Error Analysis and Generative Grammar: The Syntax of Interrogation in French).

Author

Laval Univ., Quebec (Quebec). International Center for Research on Bilingualism. and Py, Bernard

Abstract

A progress report is presented of a study which applies a system of generative grammar to error analysis. The objective of the study was to reconstruct the grammar of students' interlanguage, using a systematic analysis of errors. (Interlanguage refers to the linguistic competence of a student who possesses a relatively systematic body of rules, without complete mastery of the target language.) Specifically, the research studies the way a foreign student learns French interrogative structures. The report covers the following areas: (1) a description of the system of generative grammar as applied to the syntax of simple French interrogative sentences and as used in this research; (2) syntagmatic rules; (3) transformational rules; and (4) experimental application of the reference grammar that was elaborated. In line with the primarily pedagogical objective, the experimental material was an oral test on simple French interrogatives recorded by students on the level of "francais fondamental." To illustrate the process used, the method of analyzing one student's errors is described. (AMH)

Abstract

Discusses the relations in learning between primary (L1) and second languages, including the theme of language learning and face-to-face verbal interaction; the conjunction of research in language learning and in bilingualism; and work on the role of metalinguistc activities in this area. Notes that the ethnographic data collected show that resort to L1 plays a central role in these processes. (21 references) (Author/CK)

19. Etude experimentale de quelques strategies d'apprentissage d'une langue etrangere par des adultes (Experimental Study of Some Learning Strategies in Adult Second Language Learning)

Author

Py, Bernard

Abstract

The intermediate competence of adult second language learners is qualitatively different from native speaker competence. Learning strategies are constants in the diachronic modifications of learner competence. A study of the acquisition of interrogatives in French reveals limited strategies and the heterogeneity of linguistic models needed to account for intermediate competence. (Text is in French.)

Author

Py, Bernard and Py, Bernard

Abstract

This article describes processes of facilitation involved in exolingual conversation, i.e., interaction between partners who are dynamically adjusting their respective linguistic performances. The type of exolingual conversation examined in this paper is that between foreign learners and native speakers. The foreign learner's linguistic competence, known as interlanguage, and his performance, which I refer to as intertalk, give rise to certain strategies in exolingual conversation. By studying these strategies, linguists can describe communicatively competent behavior in second language acquisition. I conclude that such behavior is dynamic and creative, incapable of being described and defined within predetermined structures

28. Devenir bilingue à Bienne

Author

Py, Bernard

Abstract

The consultants’ accounts allow for an autobiographic perspective of their plurilingualism, which thus brings some answers to the following question: where and how did you become bilingual? These answers are not only interesting on an ethnographic point of view, but on a theoretical and practical point of view too. The social and cultural backgrounds are indeed central to the learning theories we accept as valid. Moreover, one of the practical questions the school has to face is related to out-of-school learning, which teaching has to take into account. As it is, any French or German teacher working in Bienne should take into consideration the knowledge gained within the family, with friends, while practicing a sport, etc. Furthermore, it is interesting to assess the role played by the school in the adults’ plurilinguism. Access to this kind of information poses methodological problems that must inevitably be taken into account. The vision that learners have of their experience does not always match “reality”. Thus, we have studied with caution the transcription extracts, chosen on the basis of their particular significance.

Abstract

Le bi-/plurilinguisme est à la fois une composante et une manifestation de la diversification culturelle dans un monde « globalisé ». Il est aussi devenu un objectif largement reconnu de l'éducation. En tant que phénomène langagier, il bénéficie de la richesse des moyens d'investigation de la linguistique actuelle. En 2002, une révision approfondie de ce livre s'est efforcée de tenir compte à la fois de l'évolution du contexte socio-linguistique qui avait servi de cadre à l'étude, et de celle des outils théoriques disponibles. Les auteurs ont conservé l'esprit de la première édition; ils n'ont pas cherché à produire une encyclopédie du bilinguisme, mais proposé au lecteur un parcours d'observation et de réflexion à travers un terrain particulier – la région suisse de Neuchâtel – qui ancre la démarche dans un contexte socioculturel authentique. Pour cette nouvelle édition, les auteurs ont ajouté dans une postface les développements récents qu'ils jugent les plus pertinents. Ceux-ci enrichissent la réflexion théorique servant de moteur à ce parcours conduisant à des généralisations qui étendent la portée des observations initiales. Ils font de cet ouvrage un accompagnement à l'expérience pratique et réflexive du bi-/plurilinguisme qui concerne un très grand nombre de personnes en Europe et dans le monde.

Abstract

Bien que le bilinguisme soit en quelque sorte l’aboutissement naturel de l’acquisition d’une langue seconde, ces deux champs de recherche sont trop souvent restés confinés dans une ignorance réciproque tout à fait regrettable. Il est vrai que la recherche sur l’acquisition s’est longtemps cantonnée à l’étude de situations scolaires, et que, dans ce cadre, la langue étrangère est conçue traditionnellement comme un objet d’appropriation - statut symbolisé d’ailleurs par le terme de langue-cible...

38. Le crépuscule des lieux communs ou les stéréotypes entre consensus, certitude et doute

Author

Oesch-Serra, Cecilia and Py, Bernard

Abstract

This paper analyses the social representations, through their verbal expression, of the immigrant's discourse from «Abruzzi» (in Italy), still living in Neuchâtel or being back to their country of birth. Two aspects have been particularly studied: on the one hand a best knowledge of the immigrant's daily culture and on the other hand, the stereotypes undertaking's process by the speakers themselves.This study, based on transcriptions of non-structured interviews allows to sketch a typology of the enunciative relations between speakers and stereotypes, between the immediate adherence to stereoptypes and their total or partial opposition.

46. Apprendre une langue dans l’interaction verbale

Author

Py, Bernard and Py, Bernard

Abstract

The articulation of foreign language learning and its actual use in face-to-face communication is a central theme in language teaching studies. If the very existence of this articulation is not questioned, one may however wonder about the discursive and cognitive mecanisms that make it up. This reflexion sheds a particular light on the functioning of verbal interaction involving a teacher and a learner, as well as on the working of learning itself. Besides, it allows an interpretation, which we hope will be original, of some very common teaching behaviours. Finally, it may be an indirect contribution to a more general reflexion on the role of explicite grammar in language learning.

Author

Py, Bernard and Py, Bernard

Abstract

This TRANEL issue is a compilation of articles which share a common goal: to draw correspondences between social representations and the dialogue speeches that formulate them. Most articles were written by researchers working on a common project which aims at analysing the social representations of bilinguism in different regions and environments. Two articles derive from bachelor's degrees dissertations respectively about Welsh as a political stake in Northern Ireland and the representations of the linguistic variations in a Neuchatel family. In order to reach this common goal, the term «social representation» has to be redefined. This article is mostly dedicated to the working out of this new definition.
