Relevance, Focalization, Topicalization Topicalization and focalization are often confused. This paper introduces a third concept : “relevance” . Here, relevance will not be taken in its Gricean meaning. In the framework of the Theory of Enunciative Operations, it will be defined as “significance for the utterer”. What the utterer chooses among possible solutions is significant for him. He locates that element relative to himself Through focalization, the utterer contrasts a relevant element with its context to make the co-utterer consider it relevant. Through topicalization, the utterer chooses as the initial locator of his utterance an element already located relative to both co-utterers.Thématisation et focalisation sont souvent confond...
