Cohésion modale et subordination : Le conditionnel et le jussif finnois au miroir de la valeur sémantique et discursive du subjonctif français

Modal cohesion and subordination. The Finnish conditional and jussive moods in comparison to the French subjunctive This study examines verb moods in subordinate clauses in French and Finnish. The first part of the analysis deals with the syntax and semantics of the French subjunctive, mood occurring mostly in subordinate positions. The second part investigates Finnish verb moods. Although subordinate positions in Finnish grammar have no special finite verb form, certain uses of Finnish verb moods have been compared to those of subjunctives and conjunctives in other languages. The present study focuses on the subordinate uses of the Finnish conditional and jussive (i.e. the third person singular and plural of the imperative mood). The third part of the analysis discusses the functions of subordinate moods in contexts beyond complex sentences. The data used for the analysis include 1834 complex sentences gathered from newspapers, online discussion groups and blog texts, as well as audio-recorded interviews and conversations. The data thus consist of both written and oral texts as well as standard and non-standard variants. The analysis shows that the French subjunctive codes theoretical modality. The subjunctive does not determine the temporal and modal meaning of the event, but displays the event as virtual. In a complex sentence, the main clause determines the temporal and modal space within which the event coded by the subjunctive clause is interpreted. The subjunctive explicitly indicates that the space constructed in the main clause extends its scope over the subordinate clause. The subjunctive can therefore serve as a means for creating modal cohesion in the discourse. The Finnish conditional shares the function of making explicit the modal link between the components of a complex construction with the French subjunctive, but the two moods differ in their semantics. The conditional codes future time and can therefore occur only in non-factual or counterfactual contexts, whereas the event expressed by French subjunctive clauses can also be interpreted as realized. Such is the case when, for instance, generic and habitual meaning is involved. The Finnish jussive mood is used in a relatively limited number of subordinate clause types, but in these contexts its modal meaning is strikingly close to that of the French subjunctive. The permissive meaning, typical of the jussive in main clause positions, is modified in complex sentences so that it entails inter-clausal relation, namely concession. Like the French subjunctive, the jussive codes theoretical modal meaning with no implication of the truth value of the proposition. Finally, the analysis shows that verb moods mark modal cohesion, not only on the syntagmatic level (namely in complexe sentences), but also on the paradigmatic axis of discourse in order to create semantic links over entire segments of talk. In this study, the subjunctive thus appears, not as an empty category without function, as it is sometimes described, but as an open form that conveys the temporal and modal meanings emerging from the context.

Argentina. Crisis de pagos y sinergia entre programas del FMI y Club de París. 1956-2009

Desde 1956, en ocho ocasiones la Argentina refinanció deudas oficiales en el ámbito del Club de París. Estas refinanciaciones implicaron implementar programas de ajuste, acompañados en seis oportunidades por acuerdos contingentes con el FMI. Pero la apreciación subsiguiente de la moneda doméstica y los compromisos de facilitar importaciones pactados en tales acuerdos, desencadenan un ciclo de auge y deterioro de la cuenta corriente del balance de pagos que finaliza con una nueva crisis y una deuda externa incrementada, agravando la restricción de divisas originante de tal situación, en un contexto de salida masiva de capitales, inflación y recesión.

Three new club-mosses from Panama

In a previous paper relating to a singular new fern (Polypodium podocarpum) from Panama, I have described very briefly the mountian (sp) region above David in the province of Chiriqui, and have referred in particular to a most interesting collecting trip of three days which I took from El Boquete over "Holcomb's trail" along the Rio Caldera to "Camp I" and to the summit of the Continental Divide a few miles farther on...(Document contains 9 pages)

First Biennial Ocean Climate Summit: Finding Solutions for San Francisco Bay Area’s Coast and Ocean. Proceedings of the Summit: April 29, 2008, Golden Gate Club, The Presidio San Francisco, California

Executive Summary: The marine environment plays a critical role in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that remains within Earth’s atmosphere, but has not received as much attention as the terrestrial environment when it comes to climate change discussions, programs, and plans for action. It is now apparent that the oceans have begun to reach a state of CO2 saturation, no longer maintaining the “steady-state” carbon cycle that existed prior to the Industrial Revolution. The increasing amount of CO2 present within the oceans and the atmosphere has an effect on climate and a cascading effect on the marine environment. Potential physical effects of climate change within the marine environment, including ocean acidification, changes in wind and upwelling regimes, increasing global sea surface temperatures, and sea level rise, can lead to dramatic, fundamental changes within marine and coastal ecosystems. Altered ecosystems can result in changing coastal economies through a reduction in marine ecosystem services such as commercial fish stocks and coastal tourism. Local impacts from climate change should be a front line issue for natural resource managers, but they often feel too overwhelmed by the magnitude of this issue to begin to take action. They may not feel they have the time, funding, or staff to take on a challenge as large as climate change and continue to not act as a result. Already, natural resource managers work to balance the needs of humans and the economy with ecosystem biodiversity and resilience. Responsible decisions are made each day that consider a wide variety of stakeholders, including community members, agencies, non-profit organizations, and business/industry. The issue of climate change must be approached as a collaborative effort, one that natural resource managers can facilitate by balancing human demands with healthy ecosystem function through research and monitoring, education and outreach, and policy reform. The Scientific Expert Group on Climate Change in their 2007 report titled, “Confronting Climate Change: Avoiding the Unmanageable and Managing the Unavoidable” charged governments around the world with developing strategies to “adapt to ongoing and future changes in climate change by integrating the implications of climate change into resource management and infrastructure development”. Resource managers must make future management decisions within an uncertain and changing climate based on both physical and biological ecosystem response to climate change and human perception of and response to the issue. Climate change is the biggest threat facing any protected area today and resource managers must lead the charge in addressing this threat. (PDF has 59 pages.)

ELEBIDUN : un projet de recherche sur l’apprentissage bilingue basque-français

[FR] Depuis plusieurs décennies, il existe une offre de scolarisation en langue basque dans les établissements scolaires du Pays basque nord (Pyrénées Atlantiques). Les élèves qui suivent une scolarité bilingue sont inscrits soit dans un établissement qui pratique la méthode dite immersive (Ikastolak de Seaska) soit dans un modèle à parité horaire dans un établissement public ou privé1. Ainsi, il est possible pour un élève de mener l’apprentissage de la langue basque en parallèle avec celui du français depuis l’école primaire jusqu’au lycée. Cette offre de scolarisation est en développement constant (38 ouvertures sur les 6 dernières années scolaires) et elle concerne aujourd’hui plus d’une école sur deux (58 %), 34 % des élèves du primaire et 43 % des enfants en maternelle.

Análisis comparativo de traducciones comerciales en medios audiovisuales. Subtitulado II. "El club de los poetas muertos".

El presente trabajo de fin de grado se centra en el estudio descriptivo-comparativo de los subtítulos en español y los de la versión original inglesa del largometraje cinematográfico El club de los poetas muertos (1989), además de sus correspondientes versiones dobladas. Una vez abordada la cuestión de la selección del material objeto de estudio, se trata el proceso de recopilación del corpus textual (23 000 palabras; 1800 subtítulos originales y 1633 en español), haciendo especial hincapié en las herramientas informáticas utilizadas para la extracción de los subtítulos, tanto originales como traducidos al castellano, desde una copia DVD. Posteriormente se ha organizado dicho corpus en una tabla, generando así unidades bitextuales comparables. Los resultados que se presentan en este TFG nacen del análisis y clasificación de los procedimientos de traducción observados tras la comparación de dichas unidades. Gracias a parte de la literatura utilizada para este trabajo (Merino 1986, Molina y Hurtado 2002 y Pajares 2010), se ha podido emplear una taxonomía que permitiera clasificar los fenómenos observados en cuatro grandes categorías: adición, inequivalencia, modificación y supresión. Dentro de cada categoría se han identificado diferentes subcategorías que se ajustan con mayor precisión a los fenómenos específicos identificados. Debido a las limitaciones de extensión del presente trabajo, el resultado final solo ofrece una muestra de todos los ejemplos recogidos, presentados por orden alfabético y atendiendo a la clasificación taxonómica fijada. En último lugar, las conclusiones pretenden verter luz a aquellas cuestiones planteadas en la introducción de este trabajo, así como presentar una valoración general de los resultados obtenidos.
