La circulation des discours à la lumière de « l'effacement énonciatif » : l'exemple du discours puriste sur la langue

Laurence Rosier: The circulation of speech in the light of "enunciative effacement": the example of "purist discourse" on language. In this paper, we study purist discourse language (ironic criticism about language compiled into dictionaries, language chronicles in newspaper) by focusing on the enunciative postures adopted by the speakers that circulate this kind of speech. In the case of purist discourse in particular, how is this position translated into the presentation of other people's speeches and of their enunciators? The purist is the one who quotes speech's fragments that circulate, and who stigmatises and classifies the enunciators of those circulating fragments, according to an axiologic scale. The article describes some practices that privilege mechanisms of understating, on the borders of enunciative effacement.Rosier Laurence.
