Chapter 1Prologue: Textual Acts and the History of Science

Chemla (林力娜), Karine; Virbel, Jacques

Pages: 1 –46

[Scholarly texts usually combine a variety of elements: sentences, diagrams, tables and other specific types of inscriptions, layouts and notations. After a long period when History and Philosophy of Science mainly focused on the verbal aspect of these sources, in recent decades these disciplines...

Speech Act Theory and Instructional Texts

Virbel, Jacques

Pages: 49 –86

[In this chapter, we shall consider, systematically, the types of speech act that are likely to arise in instructional or procedural texts and the forms they take. This will be preceded by a general presentation of Speech Act Theory. Thus, the chapter can be read autonomously and may possibly...

The Issue of Textual Genres in the Medical Literature Produced in Late Imperial China

Bretelle-Establet, Florence

Pages: 87 –142

[A great abundance of Chinese medical texts have come down to us since the mid seventeenth century. This is the combined result of the large number of texts written in this period and the fact that the texts were better preserved than earlier. As a matter of fact, the large number of medical...

Zoological Nomenclature and Speech Act Theory

Cambefort, Yves

Pages: 143 –181

[To know natural objects, it is necessary to give them names. This has always been done, from antiquity up to modern times. Today, the nomenclature system invented by Linnaeus in the eighteenth century is still in use, even if the philosophical principles underlying it have changed. Naming living...

The Enumeration Structure of 爾雅 Ěryǎ’s “Semantic Lists”

Teboul (戴明德), Michel

Pages: 267 –280

[Modern linguistic enumeration theory is applied to a study of 爾雅 Ěryǎ’s Semantic Lists, leading to an in-depth analysis of the work’s first three sections without any recourse to the traditional methods of Chinese classical philology. It is hoped that an extension of the same method can lead to...

A Tree-Structured List in a Mathematical Series Text from Mesopotamia

Proust, Christine

Pages: 281 –316

[The written culture of the Ancient Near East, whose history covers more than three millennia (from the beginning of the third millennium to the end of the first millennium BCE), underwent profound transformations over the centuries and showed many faces according to the region of the vast...

Describing Texts for Algorithms: How They Prescribe Operations and Integrate Cases. Reflections Based on Ancient Chinese Mathematical Sources

Chemla (林力娜), Karine

Pages: 317 –384

[The texts of algorithms fall under the general rubric of instructional texts, discussed by J. Virbel in this book. An algorithm has two facets. It has a text—a written text—, which usually appears to be an enumerated list of operations. In addition, whenever an algorithm is applied to a specific...

A Work on the Degree of Generality Revealed in the Organization of Enumerations: Poincaré’s Classification of Singular Points of Differential Equations

Robadey, Anne

Pages: 385 –419

[This chapter attempts to bring to light and study an approach that emerges in Poincaré’s earliest writings on differential equations. In the course of this research, Poincaré chooses not to consider cases that he calls “more special,” by arguing that “they do not produce themselves if the...
