  The vocabulary of collectors from Antiquity to the late 19th century

  Le goût pour l’Antique n’a pas attendu la Renaissance pour se manifester et dès l’époque hellénistique se forment des collections d’œuvres d’art des siècles précédents. Les redécouvertes de l’art d’époques anciennes doivent faire face, notamment, à une perte du vocabulaire spécifique usité lors de la conception de ces œuvres. Nombre de collectionneurs et d’amateurs entendent donc remédier à cette interruption lexicologique voire sémantique en construisant un nouveau lexique.

  Inferences and Proofs

  Since its birth, logic has been concerned with the study of correct reasonings or, more specifically, of proofs. A proof should have the epistemic power to provide us with justification for the judgement or assertion which it ends with. This power is, from a different point of view, the power to compel one to accept the conclusion of the proof. Which forms of reasoning can be said to have such power? And above all, how can they exert an epistemic compulsion? According to Descartes, a correct reasoning is nothing but a chain of valid inferences. The epistemic power of proofs should therefore depend on the epistemic power of valid inferences. The problem then becomes: what is an inference? And why valid inferences have an epistemic force? These question, far from being psychological in nature, involve epistemology, logic and mathematics.

  Methods in Prosody and Intonation Research: Data, Theories, Transcription

  Aix Summer School on Prosody 2016

  The Aix Summer School on Prosody 2016 will bring together experts on theoretical and practical aspects of the research on prosody. The school will be organized around morning lectures and afternoon tutorials (where participants will practice concepts and skills discussed in lectures) and data clinics (where participants can bring together their own data and questions for discussion). The school is intended for post-graduate students and researchers interested in all the theoretical and practical aspects of the research on prosody and intonation. The school will be suitable both for researchers already working on intonation and prosody, and wishing to learn more about specific topics, and for researchers who wish to better understand how to incorporate and control prosody in their own work.
