Ironique… Vous avez dit ironique ? : analyse des énoncés catégorisés métadiscursivement comme ironiques dans un corpus théâtral et un corpus journalistique

摘要

This thesis is concerned with utterances metadiscursively categorized as ironic by playwright in the stage directions, and by the journalistic authority in the press, in order to be part of a approach untied to subjective criteria and, consequently, liberated from a predefined conception of irony. This is to determine meaning that speakers-writers attach to these terms in order to develop a prototypical portrait or several portraits recurring of irony by comparative study of two above textual genres. Thus, we study the process of meaning production by searching for information that led, in a particular context, speaker to characterize his statement as ironic. We intend to demonstrate that irony is one, despite its apparent complexity: it is a form of mockery that goes through an indirect attack. We analyze different elements, highlighted by various existing conceptions of irony (echo, pretense, antiphrasis, implicit …), as processes by which mockery is exerted, which can be combined with each other or achieve alone.
