Le geviya est une langue bantoue qui appartient au meme groupe linguistique que le getsogo, l'apindji et le gevove. Parlee dans un seul village au coeur du Gabon par un nombre extremement reduit de personnes, cette langue est actuellement menacee de disparition. Assez fortement influencee par des langues voisines, elle presente a l'heure actuelle les caracteristiques d'une langue mixte, surtout dans son vocabulaire.Le dictionnaire geviya-francais est le fruit d'une longue collaboration scientifique fructueuse entre Lolke Van der Veen et Sebastien Bodinga-bwa-Bodinga. Le premier est professeur de linguistique a l'Universite Lumiere-Lyon 2 et membre du laboratoire "Dynamique du Langage" (UMR 5596). Le second est ancien secretaire du gouverneur de Mouila (Gabon) et fervent defenseur de sa langue maternelle, le geviya.Cet ouvrage, qui rassemble plus de 6200 entrees, constitue une contribution importante a la lexicographie des langues du Gabon. Il permettra en particulier d'approfondir l'etude de la langue et la culture des Eviya.

Il y a, d'un cote, la considerable variete morphologique et syntaxique de la negation, ou plutot des negations qu'on trouve dans les langues naturelles. Il y a, d'autre part, le role visiblement central que jouent les negations dans l'activite humaine d'interlocution. Comment mettre en rapport ce role et cette variete? Alors que la reponse habituellement donnee repose sur des generalites semantiques ou logiques, sur des pragmatiques ou sur des theories cognitivistes du langage, cet ouvrage cherche a en degager une autre du coeur meme de la syntaxe des langues, la oA' l'enonciation trouve un appareil formel plus essentiel qu'on ne le pense parfois. On fonderait ainsi une typologie linguistique des negations qui rendrait justice a leurs diversites et a leurs constantes.

Grammatical description and instruction have left their enduring imprint on European scholarship and culture. For more than twenty centuries, grammar has been the cornerstone of humanist education, and has been transmitted continuously, albeit in changing - chronologically, geographically, politically, and institutionally - contexts. The papers in this volume document the transmission, adaptation and re-elaboration of grammar, since Antiquity, by focusing on its foundational concepts and techniques. The vectors of these processes of transmission and adaptation are texts, and behind these texts, we can reconstruct networks of interaction: between teachers and students, between scholars and models of description, and - as the overarching dynamics - the dialogue between the members of the "virtual community" interested in the study of language. The seventeen papers of this volume have been arranged into six sections: "Grammar: The Fate of a Cultural Discipline"; "The Origins of Linguistic Reflection in Ancient Greece"; "Ancient Greek grammar: Theorization and Practice"; "Latin Grammar in Antiquity and the Low Middle Ages: Heritage and Innovation"; "Renaissance Grammar and Rhetoric: The Encounter between Classical Languages and the Vernaculars"; "Philological Deposits of Ancient Latin Grammars"). The volume is rounded off with detailed indices (Index of names; Index of Greek, Latin, and Latinized technical terms; Index of concepts).

Most literary magazines focus on the craft of writing and cater to a highly select audience of writers, literary critics, and scholars of literature. In contrast, "The Reader" is a quarterly literary magazine aimed at the intelligent common reader, reaching out to an audience that ranges from students first encountering serious literature to professional academics and writers. Offered here in its autumn 2005 "Americans" issue, "The Reader "is a unique journal that celebrates the act of reading in all its forms and facets.
"The Reader" not only publishes short fiction and poetry by new and established writers but also contains many other features such as essays on language, writing, and reading; a literary quiz; a publishing industry gossip column, "Our Spy in NY"; and book reviews.
Highlights of the autumn issue include an article on Rebecca Solnit by Lawrence Weschler; a piece on the emergence of the novel in the United States by Michael Schmidt; and essays on the works of Carson McCullers, Anne Bradstreet, and Toni Morrison.
"""The Reader "offers rich, engaging reading for book lovers, combining high-quality content with a genuine commitment to the dedicated reader.

In ons vreemdetalenonderwijs gaat veel tijd en energie verloren. Een gebrek aan contact en wisselwerking tussen de taalvakken onderling en een ingewikkelde en vaak sterk verschillende grammaticale terminologie zijn daar in grote mate de oorzaak van. Nederlands, Frans en Engels in contrast wil als praktisch naslagwerk voor de taalleraar en voor degene die een vreemde taal leert, die lacune wegwerken door bouwstoffen aan te reiken voor een efficientere organisatie van het grammatica-onderwijs van het Nederlands, het Frans en het Engels. De auteurs proberen de voorkennis van de moedertaal maximaal te benutten en de probleemgebieden bij het (aan)leren van de vreemde taal duidelijk te beschrijven aan de hand van een uniforme terminologie.
