Dealing with phraseology in business dictionaries: focus on dictionary functions – not phrases

The language of written business communication is characterised by the extensive use of phraseology, not only in terms of collocations and idiomatic expressions, but also of standard phrases in prototypical business genres. In any case, the phraseological information should be included in business dictionaries (in the following referred to as BDs) in accordance with the planned dictionary functions. Hence, the selection and presentation of the phraseological information should be decided by the lexicographer on the basis of the user needs alone and not on the recommendations of the phraseological literature about lexicographical practice. In this paper, I will firstly explain why lexicography and phraseology, although closely associated in a large number of studies, are quite different disciplines, and how their shared interest for dictionary practice in general is based on radically different views. I will then discuss the dictionary functions of BDs and focus on a number of concepts featuring extensive phraseological solutions to show and argue that dealing with phraseology in BDs should always keep focus on dictionary functions

New Proposals for the Design of Integrated Online Wine Industry Dictionaries

The specialised lexicographic treatment ofoenology and viticulture usually consists in the compiling of articles describing the language of wine in general language dictionaries, or presenting professional knowledge of wine in specialised multi-field dictionaries and encyclopedias. This treatment also encompasses the terminological compilation of single field dictionaries describing the language and/or knowledge of wine. Lexicographically speaking, all this is but a fraction of the complete picture. Indeed, the specialised lexicography of oenology and viticulture is multifaceted and goes far beyond the above-mentioned types of articles and dictionaries. It includes a broad range of both online and printed lexicographically structured information tools, such as wine guides, atlases, companions, oenological websites, and mobile applications. In line with this growing interest for lexicographically structured information tools on oenology, wine making, and wine tasting, this article argues for an expansion of lexicography dealing with wine: It explains how a new lexicographic information tool, in this case OENOLEX Burgundy, a French monolingual online wine dictionary commissioned by the Burgundian wine  industry, offers various functions and usage modes to its users, including access to multimodal data, and how it differs from a comparable South African online wine dictionary commissioned by the South African wine industry. In line with the findings of this comparative study, lexicographic proposals are subsequently formulated. The first proposal is that such online wine industry dictionaries should be developed in accordance with specific user situations and needs, and make use of a monofunctional design and an adaptive user interface. The second proposal is that such online wine industry dictionaries should not stand alone, as they could benefit from a full integration with the websites of the wine industry, and consequently transform into genuine lexicographic information tools.Keywords: specialised lexicography, specialised dictionaries, online specialised dictionaries, subject-field-based dictionaries, user-situationbased dictionaries, function theory of lexicography, wine industry dictionaries, consultation, navigation, access modes, multimodality, user needs paradigm, website integratio

Numerical methods for RANSE simulations of a self-propelled fish-like body

International audienceThis paper deals with numerical simulations on a self-propelled fish-like body. Firstly, the methods used to achieve such simulations based on the solution of the Reynolds-Averaged-Navier–Stokes Equations are described: resolution of the Newton's law (parameterization, use of a description of the rotation based on a quaternion), regridding strategies linked to body motion and deformation, fluid–motion coupling methods. In the second part, realistic applications are shown. The interaction between the fluid and the body is fully solved since the evolution of the body's position is not imposed but computed. Only the imposed deformation of the shape and its interaction with the fluid produce forces on the body and, consequently, motion

Les huiles, essentielles pour le travail social ?!

Ce travail, réalisé dans le cadre de l’obtention du diplôme Bachelor of Art in Travail Social, orientation éducation sociale, vise à comprendre dans quelle mesure les huiles essentielles peuvent être utilisées par les travailleurs sociaux dans le cadre de leurs pratiques professionnelles. La recherche qui suit débute par une approche théorique des différents concepts nécessaires pour comprendre les subtilités de la question de recherche. Après la découverte du domaine des huiles essentielles, de leurs bienfaits, des précautions d’utilisation et de leurs différentes voies d’administration, le développement du concept du travail social met en lumière à travers son historique, le lien entre le domaine médical et le domaine social. Il permet de préciser quels sont les rôles et fonctions des différents travailleurs sociaux et comment l’organisation de l’institution à laquelle ceux-ci sont rattachés peut influencer leurs pratiques. Enfin, le concept de la relation d’aide est abordé comme pratique professionnelle des travailleurs sociaux permettant de faire le lien entre les deux concepts précédents. Dans un second temps, l’enquête réalisée sur le terrain par le biais d’entretiens auprès de treize professionnels du travail social, animateurs socioculturels, éducateurs sociaux, curateurs et assistants sociaux confondus sera présentée. La méthodologie choisie sera abordée et justifiée. Suivra une analyse des données recueillies qui mettra en lien les points de vue et pratiques de ces différents professionnels. Le bilan final permettra de répondre à la question de recherche en validant ou non les hypothèses. Il offrira aussi l’opportunité de vérifier si les objectifs posés au début du travail ont été atteints et relèvera les limites de la recherche. Enfin, les conclusions, bilans et perspectives professionnelles qui en découlent seront présentés. Les annexes sont choisies de sorte à apporter des précisions aux concepts théoriques ou à illustrer la méthodologie. Ce travail met en lumière l’utilisation des huiles essentielles dans le travail social. Il permet de comprendre comment et avec quels objectifs les travailleurs sociaux peuvent utiliser les huiles essentielles. Il illustre les bienfaits et les difficultés qu’ils rencontrent dans cette utilisation et ce qu’il manque pour que les huiles essentielles puissent devenir un outil officiel
