National audience; Le Dictionnaire Électronique des synonymes (DES) du laboratoire CRISCO de l'Université de Caen est connu principalement par son interface web simple interrogée de 150.000 à 200.000 fois par jour. Il est également accompagné d'un certain nombre d'autres outils informatiques qui explorent pleinement et sous d'autres angles de vue les données stockées. Nous nous proposons dans cette courte présentation de les passer en revue.

Présentation linguistique succincte du pendjabi (langue, phonologie, grammaire) dans une optique contrastive pendjabi/français

International audience; The Inuit of Qikiqtaaluk (Baffin Island) have developed a deep respect for their natural environment and are able to report not only changes in weather, ice, and natural resources but also changes in their communities as a result of climate change. The objective of this study was to shed light on how the impacts of climate change are currently perceived in the communities of Kanngiqtugaapik, Pangniqtuuq, and Qikiqtarjuaq. In order to construct a shared knowledge base, we conducted qualitative video interviews and participated in a hunting camp with multigenerational and multigender Inuit hunters and fishers. First, Inuit continue to see the world in which they cohabit with other living things, particularly animals, as a world that they cannot control on their own—a world they must adapt to, passing learning from one generation to the next. Second, they report that changes in the ice have been among the major and most important transformations to have occurred in recent decades. Observations made by these local populations also indicate changes in hunted species, with fewer caribou and narwhal, more birds, insects, and fish, including from more southerly regions, and an uncertainty about polar bear populations. Seal hunting remains stable, and this meat is still the most popular and healthy food, physically and psychologically. Third, sociological and economic changes (e.g., lifestyle change, monetary economies, quotas), in addition to environmental changes (e.g., climate change, species change), have had a significant impact on food harvesting activities as well as food consumption in the region. A final perspective concerns the needs of the Qikiqtaaluk communities to further develop collaboration with scientists. This need for partnership is not only perceived as a scientific necessity but also recognized by Inuit as essential to their communities, with some local leaders ready to work toward a fruitful collaboration.

Chinese stories in vernacular language are often based on earlier texts written in the classical language. Between these two aspects of the written Chinese language, there are rewriting operations that can be described in terms of "intralingual translation". Authors of fictional narratives have made extensive use of such processes because they present particular qualities that they have been looking for. The presentation presents the main characteristics of this manner of story-writing. It takes as an illustration stories sharing the theme of suicide., Les récits chinois en langue vulgaire sont souvent produits à partir de textes antérieurs écrits en langue classique. Entre ces deux aspects de la langue chinoise écrite, on assiste à des opérations de réécriture qui peuvent être décrits en termes de ”traduction intralinguale”. Les auteurs de récits fictions ont beaucoup recouru à de telles procédés car ils possèdent certaines qualités particulières qu’ils recherchaient. L’exposé présente les principales caractéristiques de cette manière d’écrire des histoires. Il prend pour illustration des récits réunis autour du thème du suicide.

International audience; The goal of this paper is to shed light on an under-described variety of Domari, a very scarcely documented Indo-Aryan language spoken by the m, who are often referred to as "the Middle-Eastern Gypsies". Described as an archaic Indo-Aryan language, Domari is known to the scholarly community from a limited number of word lists dating back to the 19 th century and two partial descriptions based on a rather moribund dialect, the one spoken in Jerusalem. Apart from these sources, no reliable data are available about other varieties. The data presented in this paper come from an original fieldwork carried out in 2009 and 2010 amongst the m community in the city of Aleppo in Northern Syria and are an important contribution to our knowledge of one of the very few old diasporic Indic languages spoken outside the Indian subcontinent.

Paper Received 20 February 2011; received in revised form 22 November 2011; accepted 25 December 2011; International audience; The topics of this research cover all phases of "Information Design" applied to detect and profit from weak signals in economic intelligence (EI) or business intelligence (BI). The field of the information design (ID) applies to the process of translating complex, unorganized or unstructured data into valuable and meaningful information. ID practice requires an interdisciplinary approach, which combines skills in graphic design (writing, analysis processing and editing), human performances technology and human factors. Applied in the context of information system, it allows end-users to easily detect implicit topics known as "weak signals" (WS). In our approach to implement the ID, the processes cover the development of a knowledge management (KM) process in the context of EI. A case study concerning information monitoring health resources is presented using ID processes to outline weak signals. Both French and American bibliographic databases were applied to make the connection to multilingual concepts in the health watch process.
