Résumé
Françoise Douay-Soublin, Figures of Rhetoric : Relevance, Reconstruction, Recasting Instead of claiming that the figures of rhetoric are relevant to contemporary linguistics, I argue for a dissociation between historical reconstruction and theoretical recasting. Reconstructing Dumarsais and Fontanier's works on meaning, we realize that they themselves, in their lifetimes, turned from figures of rhetoric (metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche) to early pre-semantic terminology (acceptation, extension, value). Recasting the core of the trope theory in the scope of contemporary discourse analysis leads us to move from oblique description of objects, through analogy or detail (metaphor & metonymy), to intersubjective relations from speaker to listener, through evolutive and ambiguous meanings (antanaclasis & paradiastole).
