La notion d'interaction en linguistique : origine, apports, bilan

Catherine Kerbrat-Orecchioni, The concept of interaction in linguistics: its origins, contributions and results We will first mention a number of reasons concerning why interactive orientations were so long to take hold in France. We will then touch upon some innovations that this new orientation has introduced as regards the object of analysis (prime importance of oral discourse in dialogue), the methodology (exclusively data-driven) and the facts considered relevant in the analyzed corpus. The study will end with an attempt to draw conclusions of the impact of interactive orientation on linguistic studies.Kerbrat-Orecchioni Catherine.
