Eléments discursifs, sociolinguistiques et actes de parole dans les BD

This qualitative and quantitative research inquiry presents a study of the dialogues in seven comic books in French. Its primary aim is to discover discursive elements and speech acts that can be found in the conversations of their characters. Its secondary aim is to analyse various question forms and pronouns that are used in speech acts. These findings are then compared with other research on dialogues of native speakers. This study reveals that the language used in comic books does not fully reflect authentic speech of native speakers. This study also aims for the acceptance of comic books by teachers in L2 classrooms. The findings of this study shed light on the linguistic content of comic books and their use as a pedagogical tool
