Reprise et modes d'implication énonciative

Abstract

Any utterance containing a case of speech reformulation might be seen as polyphonic by nature, since it features a double-voiced type of speech. Clues from the linguistic or behavioral contexts accompanying reformulations help identifying the speaker's own attitude regarding the alternate statement, towards which a stance is adopted at the same time as it is referred to. While establishing a connection between alternate categorizations of the «same speech», reformulations participate in an assimilation/differentiation process enabling the speaker to adopt a standpoint towards the addressee and, simultaneously, towards the multitude of opinions that make up the community's dialogical fund.
