English-speaking philosophers are generally attuned to the German and French philosophical traditions but not to the Spanish.

Dans cette etude, nous repondons a la question: Comment, d'apres ce qu'on peut observer dans les chartes ecrites en francais a Liege avant 1292, la ponctuation interagit-elle avec la syntaxe dans la langue francaise medievale?

The concept of complex emotions is obviously polysemous. On the one hand, we can interpret it as a non-basic, non-prototypical, or culture-specific notion, on the other - and this is the interpretation we propose in this work - a complex emotion concept can be looked upon as a concept whose complexity emerges in interaction, due to the complex nature of its object. Our interpretation is thus construction-based, one in which meaning is not to be found...
