Le sens contextuel des « actes de langage stéréotypés »
Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2018, Vol 42, Issue 4
Abstract
This contribution focuses on the contextual meaning of pragmatic phraseologisms, and especially what we call “stereotypical speech acts” in French, e.g. la belle affaire (big deal) or tu parles (you must be joking). We will first present the theoretical and methodological issues related to the notion of (linguistic or situational) context, and then analyze the relations between co(n)text and the meaning of “stereotypical speech acts”.
