Ce volume regroupe trente-neuf articles publiés entre 1893 et 1917 par le philosophe de la logique, des mathématiques et du langage que fut Louis Couturat (1868-1914). Ces articles, publiés pendant dans diverses revues, en particulier dans la Revue de métaphysique et de morale, sont ici rassemblés pour la première fois. Ils portent essentiellement sur la logique, la philosophie des mathématiques et celle du langage sous l’angle de la langue universelle. Ils illustrent aussi la vigueur du lien entre sciences et philosophie à cette époque. Ce volume n’est pas seulement intéressant pour mieux comprendre les thèses rationalistes que défendit Couturat au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles, alors que le logicisme d’un côté, le bergsonisme de l’autre, semblaient transformer totalement la philosophie. Il fournit également un nouvel éclairage sur le mouvement des idées à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, alors que la Société française de philosophie était créée et qu’étaient organisés les premiers Congrès internationaux rassemblant des savants par-delà les frontières.

The global spread of English has resulted in the emergence of a diverse range of postcolonial varieties around the world. Postcolonial English provides a clear and original account of the evolution of these varieties, exploring the historical, social and ecological factors that have shaped all levels of their structure. It argues that while these Englishes have developed new and unique properties which differ greatly from one location to another, their spread and diversification can in fact be explained by a single underlying process, which builds upon the constant relationships and communication needs of the colonizers, the colonized, and other parties. Outlining the stages and characteristics of this process, it applies them in detail to English in sixteen different countries across all continents as well as, in a separate chapter, to a history of American English. Of key interest to sociolinguists, dialectologists, historical linguists and syntacticians alike, this book provides a fascinating new picture of the growth and evolution of English around the globe.

English is a language at the centre of research into language contact, because its global spread has resulted in contact with an enormous variety of different languages worldwide, leading to the creation of many new varieties of English, including second language varieties, and also pidgins and creoles. This book takes an original look at what happens when speakers of these different varieties interact with one another. Using her own rich fieldwork data from diverse international and South African contexts, Meierkord proposes an innovative approach to how Englishes merge and blend in such interactions, creating further new forms of English and further changes to the language. Through skilful analyses and descriptions, the book provides fascinating insights into where and who the users of English as a lingua franca are and what English then looks like at the levels of phonetics, morphosyntax, the lexicon and discourse.

The consequences of English's spread have become increasingly clear to its diverse speakers. Sometimes associated with a standardization leading to homogenization, often also with imperialism, English is increasingly understood to have no necessary connection with any country or group of countries. The willingness to accept that English has become Englishes might be less evident among so-called native speakers, but their authority is weaker than it seemed. The idea of World Englishes encourages us to re-imagine our understanding of the language. The difference between error and innovation can no longer be decided through assumptions about the language 'ownership'. In fact, the language is beginning to be a medium of the expression of identity for more and more people in very different contexts. This book puts examples from World Englishes into dialogue with postcolonial studies, in the belief that while postcolonial studies has obviously had much to say about English, it has either directly concerned or been influenced by English literary studies. The dialogue will correct misconceptions and misapprehensions in postcolonial studies, with World Englishes offering renewal for postcolonial studies. At the same time, the dialogue will also apply postcolonial studies' political and philosophical ideas to World Englishes, resulting in a postcolonial perspective on English today.
