The main way of expressing agreement in French being the morpheme oui, we shall examine at first how the system of the three forms oui/non/si works in French (standard and non standard uses), which can give rise to some misunderstandings with people whose linguistic system is different. Then we shall wonder what are the values of oui and similar forms in theses debates, according mainly to the type of speech act to which this form react; and finally, what are the functions of agreement in these exchanges which are fundamentally of a confrontational type. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/3420 Rôle de voilà dans l’affirmation: valeur confirmative et marque d’intégration d’informations Col, Gilles Voilà is a linguistic unit characterized by two groups of paired values and statuses: [signpost value + interjection status] and [predicative value + pivotal status]. From these issues, we formulate a functional hypothesis in terms of cognitive grouping: voilà would mark the integration of informational elements by grouping them on the verbal scene. This hypothesis may also help explain the use of voilà as an acknowledgement marker. This assumption was addressed in a psychology experiment. The results suggested that voilà enables speakers to express his or her agreement with information presented previously. It also facilitates verbal interactions by making grounded information more salient in situations in which dialogue partners experience increased cognitive load. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/3418 L’auxiliaire do dans les affirmations non polémiques en anglais Douay, Catherine When used in affirmative sentences the English auxiliary do is often characterized as expressing more or less polemical values. Yet do often occurs in affirmative utterances where no (potential) disagreement between interlocutors is involved. In the following article we will first show how polemical values of affirmative do result from contextually inferred interpretations. Our claim is that for a unified account of all uses of the auxiliary do (and grammatical morphemes at large), the notions of agreement/ disagreement between interlocutors must first be examined at the systemic level where no such pragmatic notions exist. In line with the interlocutive model we have developed (Douay, Roulland, 2014), we will define do as the marker of a specific interlocutive pattern. Such characterization at a systemic level where roles and not individuals are involved will allow us to bring into focus what is constant in the meaning of the form as opposed to what is context-dependent.
