"This book brings together contributions that scrutinize the relation between the material and the discursive. Highlighting the materiality of discourse and the entanglement of matter and meaning, the volume explores how a materialist discourse analysis and theory can be put into practice"--

The 2007 international economic crisis may have begun in capitalism's heartland with credit default swops and sub-prime mortages, nevertheless some of its most dramatic manifestations have been at the edge. In Europe, the peripheral economies of Iceland, Greece and Ireland have manifested crises that have shaken Europe to the core, and generated crisis discourse that may well prove central. Certainly previous talk of crisis seem to have been key to political change processes in the past (Hay, 1996; Mårtenson and Lindhoff, 1998).While there has been some initial analysis of the discursive response to the economic crisis (Hartz, 2010; O'Rourke, 2010) this paper focuses on what some have considered the most conservative of 'frames' through which the crisis has been viewed (Thompson, 2009: 523): enterprise discourse. Furthermore this work concentrates on enterprise discourse in a post-celtic tiger crisis-ridden Ireland. Ireland is an economy, society and culture at the edge. On the one hand Ireland is on the edge of the USA /UK model. It is English-speaking, has a common law tradition, an Anglo-American banking model, low corporate tax rates and strong cultural and economic ties with both the USA and the UK. On the other hand, Ireland is also on the edge of mainland Europe with its membership of the Euro, its social Partnership model of labour relations until 2009, its early adoption of European Labour rights, generally pro-European stance and its historic cultural and economic ties to the continent. Enterprise discourse in Ireland is influenced by both USA/UK and European Union (EU) developments. However, Irish enterprise discourse is not merely a 'local adoption'. For example, during the 'Celtic Tiger' period (1987-2007), high Irish economic growth rates have coincided with the development of the EU's enterprise policy, thus giving the impression that Ireland could serve as a model of development. Since the crisis Ireland, numbered among the 'PIGS' (Totaro, 2010) or 'GIPSY' club (Gros, 2010), has been represented both as a model victim of free-market fundamentalism (Krugman, 2010) and as a model of how public expenditure should be drastically cut (Halligan, 2010; Tett, 2010). Thus an examination of enterprise discourse in Ireland is of concern to more than residents of Ireland. References Gros, D. 2010.

On distingue habituellement dans la communication deux types d'information: le contenu primaire ou linguistique, et le secondaire, appelé expression. C'est ce dernier qui fait l'objet d'étude de la phonostylistique actuelle. Cette discipline essaie de confirmer l'existence de phonostyles, selon des critères géographiques, sociales et culturels entre autres. Elle analyse les formes phoniques d'expressivité utilisées dans l'acte de parole et les impressions qu'elles produisent sur l'auditeur. La phonostylistique traditionnelle étudiait essentiellement le discours littéraire, la mise en parole de ce qui avait été déjà écrit et formalisé, en négligeant le discours spontané. De nos jours, le champ d'étude de cette discipline s'est élargi grâce à l'avènement de l'analyse du discours et elle s'occupe donc de l'oral spontané aussi bien que du style oralisé, c'est-à-dire que le type de discours utilisé pour l'analyse va au-delà du littéraire. Le matériel phonique étudié est alors devenu éclectique et appartient à de différents types de discours: radiophonique, politique, des snobs, des jeunes, d'une profession spécifique, etc. L'objectif de ce travail est d'intégrer et d'appliquer les connaissances acquises pendant les cours de Phonétique et phonologie française I et Phonétique et phonologie française II afin de réaliser une analyse du phonostyle de Manuel Valls, ancien Premier ministre de France, en tant qu'homme politique, et de souligner l'influence du contexte social et de l'image qu'il veut transmettre de lui-même sur sa production phonique. ; Trabajo publicado en Caldiz, A. y Rafaelli, V.
