Résumé
Modifications of stereotypical locutions in literary texts are well known rhetorical procedures. Studies of this subject have largely focused upon the deconstructive function of such modifications. Adopting a constructive perspective, this contribution will examine such procedures not only as a way of denying a given form of aesthetics and/or a given system of values but also as a means of proposing a new form of aesthetics and a new system of values. Since modifications of stereotypical locutions articulate formal signs which explicitly invite the reader to construct dialogical relations between the known (a "source universe") and the unknown (a "target universe"), they can be considered a particularly obvious example of a type of enunciative operations which is productive for the interpretation of "poetic language" in general.
