Sommario/riassunto

"After an introductory chapter that provides an overview to theoretical issues in tense, aspect, modality and evidentiality, this volume presents a variety of original contributions that are firmly empirically-grounded based on elicited or corpus data, while adopting different theoretical frameworks. Thus, some chapters rely on large diachronic corpora and provide new qualitative insight on the evolution of TAM systems through quantitative methods, while others carry out a collostructional analysis of past-tensed verbs using inferential statistics to explore the lexical grammar of verbs. A common goal is to uncover semantic regularities and variation in the TAM systems of the languages under study by taking a close look at context. Such a fine-grained approach contributes to our understanding of the TAM systems from a typological perspective. The focus on well-known Indo-European languages (e.g. French, German, English, Spanish), but also on less commonly studied languages (e.g. Hungarian, Estonian, Avar, Andi, Tagalog) provides a valuable cross-linguistic perspective"--

Sommario/riassunto

La trajectoire de François Bloch-Lainé, marquée par la seconde guerre mondiale, les guerres d'Indochine et d'Algérie, la traversée des IVe et Ve République, est emblématique d'une génération de hauts fonctionnaires financiers et aussi singulière à bien des égards.  Cet



ouvrage rassemble diverses analyses sur ses activités de fonctionnaire lors de son court séjour en Indochine en 1945-1946, sur ses fonctions à la tête du Trésor puis de la Caisse des dépôts et consignations, mais aussi sur ses engagements de citoyen comme résistant ou au sein des mouvements associatifs. Certaines contributions sont également l'occasion de présenter les bilans de ses réformes de la Régie Renault, du Crédit lyonnais ou encore de l'État. La journée d'études, organisée à l'occasion du premier anniversaire de la disparition de François Bloch-Lainé, a été l'occasion de présenter les multiples facettes de sa carrière et de sa vie dans une approche renouvelée par la consultation de sources, comprenant notamment ses archives privées. Ces actes permettent ainsi de poursuivre un dialogue fructueux engagé il y a vingt-cinq ans par François Bloch-Lainé avec les historiens, et qui a déjà largement contribué à faire progresser la connaissance de l'histoire économique et financière de la France.

Sommario/riassunto

"EPI The age of hypocrisy has been succeeded by that of indifference, which is worse, for indifference corrupts and appeases: it kills the spirit before it kills the body. It has been stated before, it bears repeating:



the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference./ EPI . EPI It is a trite saying that one half the world knows not how the other lives. Who can say what sores might be healed, what hurts solved, were the doings of each half of the world's inhabitants understood and appreciated by the other?/ EPI"--
