Isabelle Léglise – författare

L’activité d’expertise et les discours d’individus érigés ou auto-proclamés en experts sont devenus omniprésents dans la société contemporaine. Cet ouvrage traite des discours et rapports qu’ils fournissent ou qui sont produits en leur nom. Il confronte les points de vue de plusieurs champs disciplinaires des sciences humaines et sociales : sciences politiques, droit, sociologie, sociologie politique, sciences de l’information et de la communication, analyse conversationnelle, linguistique et analyse de discours sont ainsi convoqués. L’ambition de ce livre est de faire communiquer les apports de ces approches avec les analyses de corpus attentives aux contraintes et aux effets sociaux dont le langage est porteur. Il traite de trois thèmes : expertise et médias, expertise et justice, expertise et citoyens. En caractérisant les discours qui sont produits, il interroge les liens entre expertise et savoir, rapproche expertise et manipulation et montre les liens entre expertise et pouvoir.

Open publication The volume deals with previously undescribed morphosyntactic variations and changes appearing in settings involving language contact. Contact-induced changes are defined as dynamic and multiple, involving internal change as well as historical and sociolinguistic factors. A variety of explanations are identified and their relationships are analyzed. Only a multifaceted methodology enables this fine-grained approach to contact-induced change. A range of methodologies are proposed, but the chapters generally have their roots in a typological perspective. The contributors recognize the precautionary principle: for example, they emphasize the difficulty of studying languages that have not been described adequately and for which diachronic data are not extensive or reliable.Three main perspectives on contact-induced language change are presented. The first explores the role of multilingual speakers in contact-induced language change, especially their spontaneous innovations in discourse. The second explores the differences between ordinary contact-induced change and change in endangered languages. The third discusses various aspects of the relationship between contact-induced change and internal change.
