    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="texte">Paru en 2020 aux Presses Universitaires de Rennes dans la collection « Rivages linguistiques », l’ouvrage collectif <em>La continuité référentielle ou le choix des mots, dans les textes français et anglais</em>, dirigé par Estèle Dupuy, Victor Millogo et Marie-Hélène Lay, rassemble sur 288 pages un ensemble de contributions issues du colloque international tenu à Poitiers les 26 au 28 octobre 2015, consacré à la même thématique. En inscrivant ses travaux dans le sillage de cette rencontre scientifique, dont le comité scientifique est rappelé en ouverture, l’ouvrage ambitionne de renouveler l’approche d’une notion centrale, celle de « continuité référentielle<em> »</em>. Les auteurs proposent une relecture de la notion de référence, envisagée dans une perspective à la fois diachronique et synchronique. L’ouvrage met ainsi en lumière la fécondité d’une approche multiple croisant linguistique française et linguistique anglaise, analysant différents types de discours, afin d’éclairer sous un jour nouveau...</p>]]></description>

    <title>The subsystem of loanwords in English: Properties, categorisation, prototypicity and representation</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">This study highlights the linguistic specificities of loanwords and uses a theoretical model based on the assumption that the English lexicon is composed of different subsystems. Loanwords have specific phonological, letter-to-sound, semantic, morphological, segmental and syntactic properties that distinguish them from the items of the other subsystems. The first part of the study lists these properties and illustrates them with examples taken from dictionary data (Wells [2008]). The formation of the loanword subsystem is thus a product of the dynamic interaction between different linguistic systems (Dabouis&#160;&#38; P.&#160;Fournier [2022]). The emergence of this subsystem reveals that the theoretical framework for loanwords is rooted in the principles of interaction, categorisation and gradience. The second part of the study proposes a conceptual and dynamic representation of the subsystem, mainly grounded in cognitive linguistic theory (Culioli [1990]; [1999a]; [1999b]; Lakoff [1987]; Tay...</p>]]></description>

    <title>Collocations as basic-level categories elaborating slots in semantic frames: A usage-based approach</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume"><span lang="en" xml:lang="en">I claim that it is the variability of collocations rather than their restrictedness that makes it a challenge for foreign learners to acquire them and for researchers to categorize them (1.1.) and argue that a usage-based approach drawing on notions from functional and cognitive linguistics makes it possible to account for collocations as a dynamic and flexible language resource. The functional and cognitive framework that I propose for the categorization of collocations is one of several lines of investigation within Usage-based linguistics, an approach evolving since the 1980s as a challenge to the top-down approach of structuralist and generative linguists who study the language system separately from language use (Langacker [2000:&#160;91-93], Herbst, Schmid&#160;&#38; Faulhaber [2014], Diessel [2017:&#160;1]). I use corpus data in a qualitative approach based on the theory and methodology developed in Poulsen [2022].

    <title>Averbal interactional prefabricated sentences and constructions: looking for variability and frozenness in a constructicon for French</title>

A corpus study is conducted and the properties associated with lexical variability, syntactic variation, and genres are examined. Observations show that numerous common properties can be associated with the patterns we examined, that can be analyzed as constructional phrasemes, defined as associations of syntactic structures defined as structure-meaning associations including fixed and variable elements. A model of constructional phrasemes is then outlined in the framework of the Prefab project, which aims to identify the most productive constructional phrasemes for speech formulae in French. The analysis carried out shows that a degree of frozenness can ...</span></p>]]></description>

      <p class="texte">Ce numéro thématique de <em>Lexis </em>26, co-dirigé par Vincent Hugou (Sorbonne Université) et Mathilde Pinson (Sorbonne Nouvelle), explore le figement, non pas comme une propriété statique des expressions idiomatiques, mais comme un phénomène graduel fondé sur l’usage, observable à travers des constructions, des schémas syntaxiques, des routines interactionnelles et des schémas collocationnels. </p>

    <title>Differential Effects of Decontextualized, Semi-Contextualized, and Dual-Coding Techniques on Recalling and Retaining of Concrete Vocabulary Items</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Lexical knowledge development has always been a seriously challenging task for L2 learners throughout their language learning process, and the necessity of identifying the most efficient L2 vocabulary input encoding for long-term retention is a constant controversy in the field. To address this concern, a quasi-experimental research design was incorporated to explore the effects of single- (Pylyshyn [1978]) and dual-coding (Paivio [1971; 1986]) representation of L2 vocabulary in recall and retention of concrete words in two succeeding and distinct phases. In phase one, four distinct groups of male and female language learners (n=80) received target concrete vocabulary instruction within the single-coding framework via both decontextualized (i.e., word-only L2-L1 flashcards&#8212;verbal) and semi-contextualized channels (i.e., picture-supported L2 flashcards&#8212;visual). In phase two, three distinct groups of participants (n=60) were provided with decontextualized (verbal), semi-contextuali...</p>]]></description>

    <title>On the frozenness of go wrong pseudo-clefts</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">The aim of the article is to test the hypothesis that <em>go wrong</em> pseudo-clefts might be frozen sequences with specific meaning and to establish the semantics and pragmatics of these structures.<br />The research is based on a corpus of 880 occurrences (487 pseudo-clefts and 393 reversed pseudo-clefts) collected from the COCA, the BNC and English Web 2021 (enTenTen21) available on SketchEngine. It confronts different approaches to pseudo-clefts; in particular, it draws on studies of pseudo-clefts in interaction and conversation arguing that pseudo-clefts are &#8220;not lexically open grammatical constructions&#8221; (Hopper [2004]) to shed light on the question of whether pseudo-clefts should be considered as derived from more basic counterparts. The article also uses these studies to explore whether the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic characteristics of <em>go wrong </em>pseudo-clefts are specific to those structures or can be accounted for by the features of the category of pseudo-clefts as a whole.<br />...</p>]]></description>
