This volume focuses on realisations of wordplay in different cultures and social and historical contexts, and brings together various research traditions of approaching wordplay. Together with the volume DWP 7, it assembles selected papers presented at the interdisciplinary conference The Dynamics of Wordplay / La dynamique du jeu de mots (Trier, 2016) and stresses the inherent dynamicity of wordplay and wordplay research.

Le maniement du langage manifeste un pouvoir créateur spécifique à l'être humain. Cette inventivité se révèle sous une forme concise dans les jeux des mots. En combinant de façon insolite sons, syllabes, structures syntaxiques et significations, les jeux de mots ouvrent un espace de virtuosité et de spéculation. Initiateurs de créativité, ils impliquent en même temps une dimension métalinguistique, sondant les frontières du dicible, les bornes entre sens et non-sens jusqu'à toucher à l'énigme, au grotesque, à la fantaisie verbale. Ils remanient des paradigmes, transforment les codes langagiers et discursifs et remettent en cause les sens préconstruits et les clichés socioculturels. Ce volume interdisciplinaire vise à éclairer l'interdépendance entre les jeux de mots et la notion de créativité. Il réunit des études qui, traversant les époques, explorent des genres et discours variés ; sont analysés la poésie des troubadours et les fatrasies médiévales, les inventions ludiques de Rabelais, les anagrammes chez Saussure, la littérature de jeunesse, les blagues et les devinettes, les pratiques scéniques et poétiques du slam, la créativité des enseignes commerciales et les techniques de l'Oulipo.

This chapter focuses on the role of corpora, in particular the LBC corpus (Lessico dei Beni Culturali), in the training of (future) translators. First, a variety of teaching methodologies, such as «task», «Learners' Bilingual Lexicography/Terminography», «Corpus-Based/ Data-Driven Learning», and «strategic competence» will be re-examined, taking into account the use of corpora at all stages of translators' training. The article will then illustrate a case study involving two translation classes focusing on architecture and art history (including Gothic and Renaissance art). These have led to the writing of a bilingual glossary (Portuguese-French and French-Portuguese), a collaborative and ongoing project for students in translation.

The present thesis deliberately restricts its area of research in various ways. First, it will only investigate changes in vocabulary that represent semantic change or that can be related to changes in the speakers' attitudes or societal values; any other change (related to stress, orthography, etc.) will not be considered. Second, and more importantly, it will focus on a group of words that is closely defined in two ways - (i) thematically, in that these words must form part of economic terminology, and (ii) in relation to the type of text in which these words are used, namely legal texts, in particular laws. The study will also investigate whether the meanings of pre-Revolutionary terms that have been revived since perestroika differ from their original senses.

The contributions included in the present volume cover a large number of various linguistic disciplines: the topics range from philosophy of language, pragmatics, semantics and syntax to morphology and phonology, and even language history, translation theory and quantitative linguistics figure among them. This astonishing abundance of different research objects and methods sheds some light on the universality of interests which characterize the scholar to whom this volume is dedicated.
