Religions and Discourse
ISSN: 1422-8998
«Religions and Discourse» explores religious language in the major world faiths from various viewpoints, including semiotics, pragmatics and cognitive linguistics, and reflects on how it is situated within wider intellectual and cultural contexts. In particular a key issue is the role of figurative speech. Many fascinating metaphors originate in religion e.g. revelation as a ‘garment’, apostasy as ‘adultery’, loving kindness as the ‘circumcision of the heart’. Every religion rests its specific orientations upon symbols such as these, to name but a few. The series strives after the interdisciplinary approach that brings together such diverse disciplines as religious studies, theology, sociology, philosophy, linguistics and literature, guided by an international editorial board of scholars representative of the aforementioned disciplines. Though scholarly in its scope, the series also seeks to facilitate discussions pertaining to central religious issues in contemporary contexts. The series will publish monographs and collected essays of a high scholarly standard.

Aspects linguistiques et culturels des discours spécialisés
ISSN: 2296-8741
Cette collection a pour objet de promouvoir l’étude des domaines spécialisés à travers les aspects linguistiques, discursifs et culturels qui permettent de les caractériser. Elle accueillera des travaux de recherche rédigés en français qui aborderont des domaines disciplinaires ou professionnels dans une perspective synchronique ou diachronique par le biais de la terminologie, la linguistique, la stylistique, l’analyse du discours ou d’un genre particulier. Elle s’adresse à des chercheurs intéressés par les langues de spécialité, qu’ils soient spécialistes de langues étrangères, de l’un des axes précédemment évoqués ou encore de traduction. Les analyses pourront porter, à titre d’exemples, sur la néologie, les métaphores constitutives de la théorie d’un domaine, les aspects rhétoriques, l’analyse des éléments des discours spécialisés, l’histoire des idées pour un domaine donné à travers les concepts et leur dénomination, l’étude des normes et contraintes en vigueur dans un milieu spécialisé à travers le/les discours. Cette collection accueillera des monographies ou des ouvrages collectifs rassemblant des articles sur un thème donné. Dans les deux cas, les tapuscrits soumis seront évalués de manière anonyme par deux spécialistes du domaine.
