Formal Models in the Study of Language: Applications in Interdisciplinary Contexts
暫譯: 語言研究中的形式模型：跨學科應用

本卷呈現了專注於形式模型在語言研究中應用的文章，以多種創新方式探討，並獻給日內瓦大學的教授Jacques Moeschler，以慶祝他的60歲生日。這些貢獻來自不同語言背景的資深及新進語言學家，反映了Jacques Moeschler多年來多樣且具前瞻性的研究。本書分為三個部分。第一部分展示了不同的形式模型如何應用於分析各種多樣的問題，例如時態、體和指示表達的句法、語義和語用，量詞的句法和語用，以及連接詞和否定的語義和語用。第二部分介紹了形式模型在處理與語言使用相關的認知問題上的應用，特別是展示不同類型人際互動的認知解釋、話語解釋中的語境（顯著性、推理理解過程）、語言的比喻用法（諷刺假裝）、句法在自閉症心智理論中的角色，以及自然美學的分析。最後，第三部分探討了基於計算和語料庫的方法，以研究語言變異、語言普遍性和話語相關問題。本卷將對句法學家、語用學家、計算機科學家、語義學家和心理語言學家產生極大的興趣。

Joanna Blochowiak graduated in French Linguistics and also obtained a Master degree in the Philosophy of Language from the University of Geneva. In her PhD dissertation she provided a semantic and pragmatic analysis of 'why' questions and of answers with the connective 'because'. Now she is working as a Postdoc on a project on logical words and her research currently focuses on logical and temporal connectives, negation and causality from formal semantics, pragmatics and experimental perspectives. In the near future, she will be working on conditionals and generics.
Cristina Grisot is working in corpus-based contrastive linguistics and experimental pragmatics. She carried out her doctoral research on the expression of temporal reference in English and Romance languages (French, Italian and Romanian) and she aims at extending this research to aspect-prominent and tenseless languages. She is currently working on offline and online experimental investigations of the cognitive processing of verbal tenses, temporal connectives, temporal adverbials, grammatical aspect, subjectivity and negation, as well as their rich inter-relations. She is now teaching and carrying post-doctoral research at University of Geneva and the Centre of Cognitive Science in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. She is the author of the monograph entitled 'Temporal Reference: New Empirical Perspectives' (due to be published in 2018 by Springer).
Stephanie Durrleman is Senior Researcher at the Psycholinguistics Department of the University of Geneva. Her work spans a variety of topics including language acquisition, creolistics, syntactic cartography, syntactic locality, the grammar-cognition interface, as well as the phenotype of language disorders. These studies often explore linguistic theories with empirical investigations, and strive to yield concrete applications (fine-tuning language policies, developing therapeutic interventions). She has previously been affiliated with the Linguistics Department of the University of Geneva, the Institute for Cognitive Science of the University of Lyon, and the Laboratory for Autism and Developmental Disorders of the University of Tours.
Christopher Laenzlinger is Associate Professor at the department of linguistics and IUFE (University Institute of Teacher Training) at the University of Geneva. He got his Ph.D. degree in 1996 in General Linguistics and published his dissertation with John Benjamins in 1998 for which he was awarded the prize Charles Bally. He is the author of four books and more than forty articles in various domains such as Romance and Germanic comparative syntax, theoretical and computational linguistics and the didactics of grammar and lexicon. His fields of teaching are the lexicon and morphology, theoretical syntax, French syntax and the didactics of French. He has been the principal investigator of several research projects in Natural Language Processing and Generative Grammar. He has also collaborated in various teaching and research programs with researchers and universities from various countries, such as Australia, Canada, France, Italy, etc.

喬安娜·布洛霍維亞克畢業於法語語言學，並在日內瓦大學獲得語言哲學碩士學位。在她的博士論文中，她對「為什麼」問題及其以連接詞「因為」作答的語義和語用進行了分析。現在，她作為博士後研究員，參與一個有關邏輯詞的項目，並且她的研究目前專注於邏輯和時間連接詞、否定和因果關係，從形式語義學、語用學和實驗的角度進行探討。在不久的將來，她將研究條件句和一般性表達。
克里斯蒂娜·格里索特專注於基於語料庫的對比語言學和實驗語用學。她的博士研究集中於英語和羅曼語言（法語、意大利語和羅馬尼亞語）中的時間參照表達，並計劃將這項研究擴展到以體為主和無時態的語言。她目前正在進行離線和在線的實驗研究，探討動詞時態、時間連接詞、時間副詞、語法體、主觀性和否定的認知處理，以及它們之間的豐富相互關係。她目前在日內瓦大學和瑞士納沙泰爾的認知科學中心教授並進行博士後研究。她是名為《時間參照：新的實證視角》（預計於2018年由Springer出版）的專著的作者。
史蒂芬妮·杜爾勒曼是日內瓦大學心理語言學系的高級研究員。她的工作涵蓋多個主題，包括語言習得、克里奧語言學、句法地圖學、句法局部性、語法與認知的介面，以及語言障礙的表現型。這些研究通常通過實證調查探索語言理論，並努力產生具體應用（微調語言政策、開發治療干預）。她曾在日內瓦大學語言學系、里昂大學認知科學研究所以及圖爾大學自閉症與發展障礙實驗室任職。
克里斯托弗·蘭茲林格是日內瓦大學語言學系及教師培訓大學研究所（IUFE）的副教授。他於1996年獲得一般語言學博士學位，並於1998年與約翰·本傑明斯出版社出版了他的論文，並因此獲得查爾斯·巴利獎。他是四本書籍和四十多篇文章的作者，涉及羅曼語和日耳曼語的比較句法、理論和計算語言學以及語法和詞彙的教學法。他的教學領域包括詞彙和形態學、理論句法、法語句法及法語教學法。他曾是多個自然語言處理和生成語法研究項目的主要研究者，並與來自澳大利亞、加拿大、法國、意大利等多個國家的研究人員和大學合作進行各種教學和研究計劃。
