La pseudo-clivée: étude en linguistique interactionnelle

2. Plan du travail Pour atteindre nos objectifs, notre travail sera essentiellement divisé en trois grandes sections. La première partie nous sert principalement à esquisser notre démarche et les enjeux de notre entreprise, ainsi qu'à la situer au sein d'un cadre théorique - la linguistique interactionnelle - combinant l'analyse grammaticale et l'analyse conversationnelle. Nous procéderons d'abord à une brève description de l'analyse conversationnelle ethnométhodologique, ensuite à celle du courant Interaction and Grammar. Dans le cadre de ces descriptions, nous illustrerons par des exemples les liens entre la grammaire et l'interaction sociale tels qu'ils ont été élaborés dans de nombreuses recherches dans le domaine. Finalement, nous résumerons nos objectifs et nos procédures d'analyse. La deuxième partie consiste essentiellement en une discussion et une problématisation de l'état de la recherche dans la littérature. L'exposé montrera les principaux problèmes que la pseudo-clivée pose aux différents niveaux d'analyse. Nous y traiterons des problèmes de définition et de délimitation de la construction en question au niveau syntaxique et sémantique. Nous enchaînerons avec l'exposé de l'état de la recherche au niveau pragmatique et discursif Cette discussion nous permettra de problématiser à la fois la fonction principale dévolue à la pseudo-clivée et l'établissement de la relation entre forme et fonction. Finalement, nous aborderons certains aspects dont nous ne nous occuperons pas ou seulement partiellement dans notre travail. Le résumé de cette deuxième partie nous servira à récapituler les problèmes soulevés par la pseudo-clivée française. La troisième partie - empirique et analytique - constitue la partie centrale de ce travail. Elle exposera nos résultats à travers l'analyse d'exemples qui exhibent les propriétés typiques des occurrences retenues dans notre corpus. Cette partie est donc consacrée aux formes, aux fonctionnements syntaxico-séquentiels et aux fonctions effectivement rencontrées dans nos données pour aboutir à une description de ses propriétés interactives et à une typologie compatible avec les usages interactifs réels. Après l'exposé de ce qui nous semble le plus typique dans l'usage interactif effectif de la pseudo-clivée par les interlocuteurs, nous nous dirigerons plus particulièrement vers la délimitation et la localisation de notre objet d'analyse, d'une part, par rapport à d'autres constructions (clivées, pseudo-clivées inversées, dislocations à gauche), et d'autre part, par rapport à d'autres unions d'unités qui n'ont pas le statut de construction en usage. Finalement, nous tenterons d'intégrer nos observations dans une description cohérente du "phénomène pseudo-clivé" dans l'usage des locuteurs. De plus, nous présenterons - sur la base de nos résultats - des réponses ou des éléments de réponse aux problématiques soulevées par notre objet d'analyse telles que nous les avons élaborées et discutées dans la partie II de ce travail. Nous terminerons par une discussion sur les apports de notre démarche, ainsi qu'à une évaluation de notre conception spécifique des faits de grammaire, et plus particulièrement d'une construction syntaxique (partie IV). Nous indiquerons des pistes de recherche possibles à suivre en fonction de nos résultats. Parmi d'éventuelles investigations futures, un accent particulier sera mis sur les aspects prosodiques et la recherche comparative.

Origin of Early Carboniferous pseudo-adakites in northern Brittany (France) through massive amphibole fractionation from hydrous basalt

P>The first Variscan pseudo-adakites were identified in close association with the Saint-Jean-du-Doigt (SJDD) mafic intrusion (Brittany, France) in a geodynamic context unrelated to subduction. These rocks are trondhjemites emplaced 347 +/- 4 Ma ago as 2-3 km2 bodies and dykes. Trace-element concentrations and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope ratios indicate that the SJDD pseudo-adakites probably resulted from extreme differentiation of an SJDD-type hydrous basaltic magma in a lower continental crust of normal thickness (0.8 GPa). Modelling shows that garnet is not a required phase, which was commonly believed to be the case for continental arc-derived adakite-like rocks. A massive fractionation of amphibole fits the data much better and does not require high pressures, in agreement with the inferred extensional tectonic regime at the time of pluton emplacement. Alternatively, the SJDD pseudo-adakites could have resulted from the melting of newly underplated SJDD mafic precursors, but thermal considerations lead us to believe that this was not the case.

Valoración ecográfica de la vesícula como marcador diagnóstico de la atresia de vias biliares: Gallbladder Ghost Triad (tríada fantasma de la vesícula) VS Pseudo Gallbladder Sign (signo de la pseudovesícula).

Estudi retrospectiu de les troballes ecogràfiques abdominals en 37 bebés menors de 5 mesos amb icterícia colestásica amb revisió de les dades clíniques, patológiques i d´imatge desde l´any 2000 al 2010. L´ecografia es l´estudi d´imatge inicial i es imprescindible distinguir entre les dues entitats més freqüents: atresia de vies biliars i hepatitis neonatal idiopàtica. Les troballes referides a la vesícula, arteria hepàtica i a les característiques del fetge van ser estadísticamente significatives. La valoració conjunta de les mateixes demostra que l´ecografia abdominal és una eina imprescindible per el diagnóstic de l´atresia de vies biliars.

Fourth order pseudo maximum likelihood methods

We extend PML theory to account for information on the conditional moments up to order four, but without assuming a parametric model, to avoid a risk of misspecification of the conditional distribution. The key statistical tool is the quartic exponential family, which allows us to generalize the PML2 and QGPML1 methods proposed in Gourieroux et al. (1984) to PML4 and QGPML2 methods, respectively. An asymptotic theory is developed. The key numerical tool that we use is the Gauss-Freud integration scheme that solves a computational problem that has previously been raised in several fields. Simulation exercises demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of the methods [Authors]

Influencia de los esquemas cognitivos implícitos y explícitos en la manifestación de experiencias pseudo-psicóticas positivas

El presente estudio evalúa la influencia de los esquemas implícitos y explícitos, tanto acerca de uno mismo como de los demás, sobre la experimentación de experiencias pseudo-psicóticas positivas; tomando como marco de referencia dos destacados modelos explicativos: el modelo atribucional de auto-representación y el modelo de la anticipación cognitiva de la amenaza. Los análisis se realizaron sobre una muestra de 185 estudiantes de psicología de la UAB. Los resultados obtenidos apoyaron la influencia de los esquemas explícitos positivos del yo y los negativos de los otros sobre las experiencias pseudo-psicóticas positivas; aportando así un apoyo parcial para ambos modelos.

Do pseudo-absence selection strategies influence species distribution models and their predictions? An information-theoretic approach based on simulated data

Background Multiple logistic regression is precluded from many practical applications in ecology that aim to predict the geographic distributions of species because it requires absence data, which are rarely available or are unreliable. In order to use multiple logistic regression, many studies have simulated "pseudo-absences" through a number of strategies, but it is unknown how the choice of strategy influences models and their geographic predictions of species. In this paper we evaluate the effect of several prevailing pseudo-absence strategies on the predictions of the geographic distribution of a virtual species whose "true" distribution and relationship to three environmental predictors was predefined. We evaluated the effect of using a) real absences b) pseudo-absences selected randomly from the background and c) two-step approaches: pseudo-absences selected from low suitability areas predicted by either Ecological Niche Factor Analysis: (ENFA) or BIOCLIM. We compared how the choice of pseudo-absence strategy affected model fit, predictive power, and information-theoretic model selection results. Results Models built with true absences had the best predictive power, best discriminatory power, and the "true" model (the one that contained the correct predictors) was supported by the data according to AIC, as expected. Models based on random pseudo-absences had among the lowest fit, but yielded the second highest AUC value (0.97), and the "true" model was also supported by the data. Models based on two-step approaches had intermediate fit, the lowest predictive power, and the "true" model was not supported by the data. Conclusion If ecologists wish to build parsimonious GLM models that will allow them to make robust predictions, a reasonable approach is to use a large number of randomly selected pseudo-absences, and perform model selection based on an information theoretic approach. However, the resulting models can be expected to have limited fit.

Impedance boundary conditions for pseudo-spectral time-domain methods in room acoustics

The pseudo-spectral time-domain (PSTD) method is an alternative time-marching method to classicalleapfrog finite difference schemes in the simulation of wave-like propagating phenomena. It is basedon the fundamentals of the Fourier transform to compute the spatial derivatives of hyperbolic differential equations. Therefore, it results in an isotropic operator that can be implemented in an efficient way for room acoustics simulations. However, one of the first issues to be solved consists on modeling wallabsorption. Unfortunately, there are no references in the technical literature concerning to that problem. In this paper, assuming real and constant locally reacting impedances, several proposals to overcome this problem are presented, validated and compared to analytical solutions in different scenarios.

A formação de frases relativas de PP no português oral de Cabo Verde e de São Tomé

Os mecanismos de formação de frases relativas restritivas têm sido amplamente analisados na literatura sobre o português europeu (PE) e o português brasileiro (PB) (e.g. Tarallo 1985; Brito 1991; Kato 1993; Peres & Móia 1995; Kato et al. 1996; Alexandre 2000, Kenedy 2007), focando em particular se há ou não aplicação da operação Move. No entanto, os estudos sobre construções-Q, concretamente sobre relativas restritivas, em variedades (emergentes) do português em África são ainda escassos e restringem-se essencialmente ao português de Moçambique (PM), onde se observa um processo de mudança linguística que parece privilegiar a estratégia resumptiva (Chimbutane 1996; Gonçalves 1996; Gonçalves & Stroud 1998; Brito 2001), como em Nesta comunicação, alargaremos o estudo das frases relativas ao português falado em Cabo Verde e em S. Tomé e Príncipe, baseando-nos em corpora do Centro de Linguística da Universidade de Lisboa (CLUL) descritos na secção 3. O nosso objetivo é mostrar que, nestas variedades, a estratégia canónica de piedpiping (2) convive com diversas estratégias consideradas agramaticais à luz da norma, designadamente a estratégia cortadora (3), que é particularmente comum, e as estratégias resumptiva (4) e de cópia defetiva (5), que ocorrem com menor frequência. Esta última estratégia foi apenas encontrada nos dados do POST.4 (2) Não, houve uma ocasião em que havia muita cólera, ... (POST) (3) a. Esse jornalista Ø que estamos aqui a falar, isento, objectivo... (POCV) b. Depois cheguei um momento Ø que eu vi que era vazio... (POST) (4) Meu filho foi baptizado no católico e a mulher que eu vivo com ela também é católica. (POST) (5) A própria escola que eu estudei nele. (POST) Defenderemos que a preferência pela estratégia cortadora poderá estar relacionada com a reestruturação das grelhas argumentais dos verbos no POST (R. Gonçalves 2010) e que tal facto constitui um contraste com o POCV (assim como com o PE e o PB), variedade em que a presença de relativas cortadoras não está, tipicamente, relacionada com a alteração dessas propriedades nos verbos.

Cis-configured aziridines are new pseudo-irreversible dual-mode inhibitors of Candida albicans secreted aspartic protease 2

A series of cis-configured epoxides and aziridines containing hydrophobic moieties and amino acid esters,were synthesized as new potential inhibitors of the secreted aspartic protease 2 (SAP2) of Candida albicans. Enzyme assays revealed the N- benzyl-3-phenyl-substituted aziridines 11 and 17 as the most potent inhibitors, with second-order inhibition, rate constants (k(2)) between 56000 and 12-1000 M-1 min(-1). The compounds were shown to be pseudo-irreversible dual-mode, inhibitors: the interm ediate esterified enzyme resulting from nucleophilic ring opening was hydrolyzed and yielded amino alcohols as transition state-mimetic reversible inhibitors. The results of docking studies with the ring-closed aziridine forms of the inhibitors suggest binding modes mainly dominated by hydrophobic interactions with the S1, S1' S2, and S2' subsites of the protease, and docking studies with the processed amino alcohol forms predict additional hydrogen bonds of the new hydroxy group to the active site Asp residues. C. albicans growth assays showed the compounds to decrease SAP2-dependent growth while not affecting SAP2-independent growth.
