Résumé
: Inequality comparative constructions are found amongst the so-called " négative polarity" contexts. Actually, it has often been suggested that comparison opérations contain an underlying négation: in addition, comparative clauses form part of structures allowing for the présence of an explétive négation in some languages, like French or Spanish. In this paper, we intend to examine the comparisons which can présent that supposed négative mark in French -ne -from a semantic perspective on the basis of certain assumptions from O. Ducrot's polyphonie theory and from J.-C. Anscombre's stereotypical theory. Specifically. the internai polyphonie structure of those séquences are analysed hère as a conglomeration of points of view conveying argumentative instructions and a hypothesis is presented which accounts for the internai " negativity" of comparisons.
