In a period in which the Communist party struggled to establish a foothold in many French workplaces, activists on the railways bucked the trend and set down deep and lasting roots of support. They maintained this support even through the sectarian period of the Comintern's shift to class against class, deepening their participation within railway industrial relations and gaining the experience of engagement with managers and state officials upon which they would build during the years of the Popular Front. Here France's railway employees joined alongside their fellow workers in shaping a new social contract for workers, extending the principle of democratic representation into the workplace. While the Popular Front experiment proved shortlived, its influence was long lasting. In the post Liberation period, the key tenets of the Popular Front experience re-emerged within the nationalised SNCF, shaping the particular character of railway industrial relations - the peculiar mix of collaboration and hostile confrontation between management and workforce that continues to make the French railways one of the most contested sectors of the modern French economy.<br></p>Studies in labour history (Liverpool University Press)RailroadsEmployeesLabor unionsFranceHistory20th centuryFranceHistory20th centurycommunismindustrial relationsrelationsrailway workerstrade unionismpopular frontRailroadsEmployeesLabor unionsHistory331.880944Beaumont Thomas942249UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910367640103321Fellow travellers2126250UNINA05793nam 22009375 450 991055747900332120231110232954.09783110720365311072036110.1515/9783110720365(CKB)5400000000002564(DE-B1597)567690(DE-B1597)9783110720365EBL7015201(AU-PeEL)EBL7015201(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/69846(MiAaPQ)EBC7015201(Perlego)2367722(oapen)doab94067(oapen)doab69846(Au-PeEL)EBL7015201(OCoLC)1330933412(EXLCZ)99540000000000256420210225h20182018 fg engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierInstruments and Related Concepts at the Syntax-Semantics Interface /Koen Van Hooste1st ed.De Gruyter2018Düsseldorf : düsseldorf university press, [2018]©20181 online resource (408 p.)Dissertations in Language and CognitionDescription based upon print version of record.9783957580597 3957580595 Frontmatter -- Acknowledgments -- Contents -- List of Figures -- List of Tables -- List of Abbreviations -- 1 Introduction -- 2 Role and Reference Grammar -- 3 Instruments at the syntaxsemantics interface -- 4 Semantic range of instruments, agents & forces -- 5 Instruments and causation: A Force Dynamic view -- 6 The Instrument-Subject Alternation and subtypes of instruments -- 7 Delimiting instruments from instrument-like participants -- 8 Linking semantics to syntax -- 9 Conclusion: A semantic-syntactic landscape for instruments and related concepts -- Appendix: Figures -- ReferencesInstruments constitute a classic member of the thematic role inventory, yet they are usually analyzed only peripherally, taking a back seat to the more studied members such as Agent and Patient. This dissertation investigates the semantic reality behind the label instrument from the functionalist perspective of Role & Reference Grammar. Starting from a theoretical investigation of what instrumentality truly means when contrasted with related concepts like comitatives, this book explores the morphosyntactic realization of instruments across a wide range of typologically diverse languages. Apart from the standard occurrences of instruments that come to mind from languages such as Latin, German or English, this book delves into several less common constructions that feature the instrument relation. Such constructions include, amongst others, passives with instruments and particularly the Instrument-Subject Alternation, a construction where the instrument seemingly appears as the subject of the sentence. This construction displays variation along three dimensions: 1) The instrument can vary from a very simple tool to a complicated machine, 2) the predicate can vary substantially and 3) languages differ widely with respect to the construction's acceptability. This makes for a complex playing field where the animacy of the instrument but also the aktionsart class of the predicate play a major role. The last section of this book deals with linking the semantics of instruments and related concepts to their morphosyntactic realizations, including the various encoding strategies that are available in any given language. This book also features a concise introduction to Role & Reference Grammar. Dissertations in Language and Cognition: This series explores issues of mental representation, linguistic structure and representation, and their interplay. The research presented in this series is grounded in the idea explored in the Collaborative Research Center 'The structure of representations in language, cognition and science' (SFB 991) that there is a universal format for the representation of linguistic and cognitive concepts.Dissertations in Language and Cognition LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / GeneralbisacshAgents.Causees.Comitatives.Die Struktur von Repräsentationen in Sprache, Kognition und Wissenschaft.Force Dynamics.Forces.Functionalism.Generalized Causative Relations.Gerhard Schurz.Hana Filip.Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf.Helping causation.Implements.Instrument-Subject Alternation.Instruments.Laura Kallmeyer.Lexical Decomposition.Linking Algorithm.Mapping to Morphosyntax.Passives with instruments.Peter Indefrey.Robert D.
