The Relationship

This paper aims to analyze the nature of time as identified in the narrative structure built by the French writer, Jean-Michel Espitallier, in his novel, La première année. We are considering how the author perceives the relationship between time and mourning through the ability of literary space to provide a compensatory universe. We are looking to observe recent activity in French mourning literature through the lens of this particularly novel, namely its perspective on processing mourning and trauma. This paper also highlights a prominent feature of French mourning literature: how the narrator’s literary discourse is used to fight against the passing of time. The fight against time is an implicit denial of death and mourning.

This introduction to the special issue “Grammar, usage and discourse: Functional studies offered to Kristin Davidse” first briefly reviews Kristin Davidse’s rich and varied trajectory in functional and cognitive linguistics, highlighting in particular the links between the domains represented by the contributions to the issue and the doctoral research she has supervised over the years. The central questions surrounding grammar (especially interpersonal grammar), usage and discourse (including literary discourse) which inform the different contributions are subsequently discussed, and a concluding section offers a number of celebratory and grateful salutes.

The monograph is aimed at analyzing the specific character of the literary discourse, which is viewed in theoretical and practical aspects. The volume thematically falls into five sections; each of them reveals particular items of the literary narrative. Special attention is paid to the literary approaches to discourse, its linguistic and translating perspectives, its realization in national literatures and usage in foreign language teaching. The issues researched by the authors of the book reflect the actual problems in the branch of literature, linguistics, translation studies, pedagogics and methodology, and represent the variants of their solution. The edition is mainly addressed to scholars, post-graduates and students engaged in the Humanities, and all those who are interested in peculiarities of literary discourse.
