Naoyo Furukawa, Elle est là qui pleure : construction à thème spatialement localisé This paper argues that sentences of the type Elle est là qui pleure represent a "spatially located theme" construction. Our analysis of the mechanism that produces this particular theme, consists crucially in the observation that the antecedent of the relative pronoun qui is not the subject Elle but, formally speaking, all the sequence that precedes it, that is, Elle est là ; in other words, the rôle of the relative pronoun qui in this construction resides in receiving a spatially located entity semantically from the sequence Elle est là and thematizing it.

Martin Rlegel: Tel adjectif. Grammaire d'une variable de caractérisation When used as a pronominal adjective, tel has the typical distribution of a "qualifying" adjective ("adjectif qualificatif") and is interpreted as a variable referring to the general notion of a "characteristic". This variable is turned into a constant, a specific characteristic, by the context. We describe how syntactic forms (relative, consequential and paratactic correlations) and textual mechanisms (anaphoric, cataphoric and deictic expressions) contribute to the discursive satisfaction of this kind of variable.

Abstract : The legacy from the Church to the Empire, then its hostility to any temporal decision which could have reduced its spiritual power shaped new forms at traditional anticlericalism inherited from the Middle Age and the Enlightenment. From the most elaborate to the most simple, from the most classical to the most original, every pattern of culture was affected including the republican trends. These aspects of anticlericalism assumed a key role in the decline of religious practice and of the place of the clergy in French society. Republicanism and anticlericalism were intimately linked but the Union Sacrée and the presence of clergymen on the battlefields reduced the anticlerical character of the republican culture.

Paul Alexis — considered the most loyal friend and disciple of Zola - contributed largely to the diffusion of naturalism thanks to his numerous chronicles scatterd in the journals of the time. The most famous ones are in «Cri du Peuple» (1883-1888), for which Alexis used the zolaesque pseudonym «Trublot, » borrowed from Pot-Bouille. In these pages he staunchly advocates for the principles of naturalism in poetry but, in a curious contrast, he does so by unorthodox means, which sometimes border on hoax and blur the line between real and fictional, between serious and comical, between raw documentation and artifice. The idea of mimesis and transparency in naturalist writing, extolled in Alexis' discourse, is therefore broached through a formal fabrication, which owes a lot to romantic practices and to the techniques of the «industrial» novel. The ques- tion then is: Would the journal - less legitimate and at the margins of literature - authorize a freer outlook on the constraining principles of theory? Would it also authorize a more playful form of dispute, which would bring Alexis closer to his friends from Médan and also to those transgressive innovators who used the journal to start a poetic revolution (the group «Chat Noir, » the Hydropates) ?

AbstractThe vibrant development of the small press at the end of the July Monarchy and during the Second Empire produced a rich corpus of historic journalism's self-representation awaiting dissection. Drawing upon physiologies, biography, didactic genres, this diverse textuality achieved a certain literary and informational legitimacy by successfully generating a complicit readership. The bibliographic excursion proposed here through these highly ironic texts shows society's fascination with a press largely characterized by satire, parody and apology, while vying for approval and hijacking literary forms.
