Sommario/riassunto

Almost 100 years after the Treaty of Versailles was signed, World War I continues to be badly understood and greatly oversimplified. Its enormous impact on the world in terms of international diplomacy and politics, and the ways in which future military engagements would evolve, be fought, and ultimately get resolved have been ignored. With this reader of primary and secondary documents, edited and compiled by Michael S. Neiberg, students, scholars, and war buffs can gain an extensive yet accessible understanding of this conflict. Neiberg introduces the basic problems in the history of World

Sommario/riassunto

Depuis longtemps le couple-titre, cohésion et cohérence, cristallise les enjeux clés de la linguistique textuelle. En illustrant le caractère opératoire et l’articulation de ces notions, on donne la meilleure des visibilités au champ qui fait de la linguistique textuelle une discipline reconnaissable au-delà de la pure syntaxe, et en deçà de l’analyse du



discours. Analyses d’exemples à l’appui, cet ouvrage, issu d’une réflexion collective et pluridisciplinaire de l’équipe Linguistique et pragmatique des textes (UMR 6039, CNRS et Université de Nice), s’est donné pour but de dégager quelques repères dans ce champ. En effet, les notions de cohésion et de cohérence ne vont pas de soi. Mais plutôt que d’apporter une énième contribution à des débats théoriques, les auteurs ont délibérément choisi de raisonner sur pièces. C’est en réfléchissant sur des faits observables dans des textes existants, incarnés par une langue à une époque donnée et conditionnés par leurs codes génériques, qu’ils ont voulu dégager la pertinence de la distinction des concepts, et de leur hiérarchie. Du niveau local au niveau global de la textualisation, ce parti pris les a conduits à sélectionner des points particulièrement sensibles, offrant ainsi au lecteur de véritables travaux pratiques de linguistique textuelle.  The twin concepts of cohesion and coherence have, for a long time, crystallised the key issues of text linguistics. By illustrating the way in which these notions work and are articulated, we put under the spotlight this field which makes textual linguistics a recognisable discipline between pure syntax and discourse analysis. Illustrated by analysed examples, this volume, which represents the result of collective and multidisciplinary reflection by the Linguistics and text pragmatics research team (UMR 6039, CNRS and the University of Nice), aims to identify some landmark work in this field. The notions of cohesion and coherence are actually not clear cut. But rather than simply…

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Finite Difference Methods, FDM 2018, held in Lozenetz, Bulgaria, in June 2018. The 69 revised full papers presented together with 11 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 94 submissions. They deal with many modern and new numerical techniques like splitting techniques, Green’s function method, multigrid methods, and immersed interface method.
