La stylistique française

Daniel Delas : French stylistic» Two principal tendencies are opposed in France regarding the definition and delineation of the field of stylistic analysis. The first limits style to a fact of expression and strictly inscribes stylistice within a linguistics of the sign. The other does open up to an interdisciplinary and empirical approach but it often abandons the term 'style' or 'stylistice' and opts instead for concepts that it deems more precise — such as ecriture or 'rhythm' or 'maniere' (manner) on the one hand, or 'poetics' or 'textual analysis', on the other hand. One can only hope to extricate stylistice from the double aporia by taking into account everything that in discourse is a manifestation of the subject in his/her relation to the Other — especially, the dialogic and the interactional.Delas Daniel.
