Hyperénonciateur et « particitation »

Abstract

Hyperenunciator and “particitation”This article is written from a pragmatic and anthropolinguistic point of view. The category of “Hyperenunciator” is introduced, associated with a specific regime of enunciation named “particitation”. This regime involves autonomous utterances that belong to a “Thesaurus” shared by the speaker and his/her addressee, as members of the same community. The “hyperenunciator” is the source and the guarantor of the Thesaurus. The speaker is supposed to quote what could to be said by the addressee, and even by any true member of the community. Three main types of particitation are distinguished (sentence, scripture, group particitations), illustrated by various genres from different periods.
