Meeting Description:
Twenty-Fifth International ConferenceCerLiCO Cercle Linguistique du Centre et de l'OuestUniversité d'Orléans, Orléans, France / 27 Friday - 28 Saturday May 2011
Transcribing, Writing, Formalising - 2:
In order to become a science, linguistics eventually departed from philology. Having turned away from publishing and commenting on texts, it has set up its field of observation outside vernacular writings in order to compare sound forms. Thus, it has given access to all languages (at whatever stage in their evolution), whether they have had a written form or not.
The 25th CerLiCO International Conference will attempt to understand the work of the linguist when he specifies his objects and elaborates his tools. In this perspective it will discuss three fundamental notions, three gestures that are the basis of analysis:
- Transcribing: This amounts to ponder the significance of the conversion of asound signal into a graphic representation.
- Writing: This asks the question of the existing relations between aconventional graphic system of representation and the structure of languages(phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic...) within their organisationand their interactions.
- Formalising: This answers the necessity of an explanatory approach that willlead to the construction of a system – and no longer a mere inventory. A systempossessing its own internal rules and having universal value in time, space andsociety. This would mean fulfilling Saussure’s algebraic linguistics project,parts of which can be assessed by automatic processing.
Our aim will be to understand what gets accomplished within the movement goingfrom the signal to modelling and what this work means.
