Bibliographic Details
Summary:Speech verbs often have metadiscursive functions. Pop (2009: 171) states that "the verbs most likely to undergo pragmatizations are indeed speech verbs". In this migration towards the pragmatic domain of discourse, these verbs play, more and more, a metadiscursive role. From a pragmatic and enunciative point of view, we have analysed metadiscursive uses of the verb DIZER (to say), on several oral and written corpora. We have identified a predominant verbal tense and two verbal modes, the present of the indicative, in the first person singular, digo, and the present of the subjunctive, in the first person plural digamos. Those verbal forms can have several meanings and functions, between discourse and metadiscourse, from reporting verbs to reformulation, auto-dialogism or modalization.
