On sait bien ce qu'on appelle « norme », en linguistique : une pratique de prescription des comportements langagiers. Cette pratique, la linguistique s'est depuis longtemps habituée à la remiser dans un espace qui n'était pas le sien. Il a été une fois pour toutes entendu qu'il existait, aisément repérable, un certain usage normatif de la « grammaire », qu'on connaissait, et qu'il fallait bien distinguer de la linguistique. Ainsi, la possible ...

The debate about women and torture has, until recently, focused on women as victims of violence. But when photographs were released from the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal, one featured Lynndie England holding a prisoner by a dog leash. Overnight, she became a symbol of women's capacity to inflict pain and suffering -- and soon, many in America were questioning why the infliction of violence has always been seen as inherently male. "One of ...

Despite our parents' best intentions to steer us toward more traditional careers (podiatrist, anyone?), we long to start our own sweater-knitting empire, frolic in the land of freelancing, or help those in need halfway around the world. Nevertheless, we non-traditionalists do have our bills to pay. So we do ...
