Alfredo M. Lescano, « Pour une étude du ton », Langue française, ID : 10670/1.xxhnhy
In this article, I intend to re-examine the perspective known in French linguistics as the “Théorie de la polyphonie” by discussing the nature of the “voices”, technically called énonciateurs , that the term polyphony allows us to “hear” (or to refuse to “hear”) within the meaning of utterances. After briefly criticizing the conception of énonciateurs as sources of viewpoints, I will define them as “tones” (section 1). This non-exhaustive presentation will describe three énonciateurs (section 2) and offer some discursive criteria for identifying them (section 3).
