L'Exclamation dans le dialogue oral en Français

This article is based on the analysis of a corpus comprising various linguistic exchanges in French oral speech, and has the exclamative enunciation as a subject. In our research we propose an approach based on the deep coenunciative value of the exclamative enunciation. Examining the position of the exclamation in relation to the trigger element, we distinguish immediate exclamation and posterior exclamation. When the exclamation represent a part of a sound production of the listener as a reaction to the trigger element introduced by the speaker, we have dialogical exclamation ; when the speaker produces the exclamation as a part of his own speech, we call it monological exclamation. In the dialogical context we can distinguish two kinds of coenunciative attitudes : consensual and disaccordive. Considering the prosodic and morphosyntactical parameters of the exclamation and the enunciative value of this modality, we differentiate appreciative and interjective exclamations as a manifestation of a consensual attitude, and interrogative and epistemic exclamation as a realization of disaccordive coenunciative attitude.
