As a follow-up to the previous seminars conducted about « Information Structuring, between Typology and Universals », the 2014-2015 Seminar will concentrate on dialogic pairs and genre in different languages.
Considering that an ambitious semantics of human language, which lays claims towards generalization, should take into account two kinds of typologies – 1) discourse typology, based on criteria of genre / context / relations between interlocutors ; 2) language typology, apt to explain what kind of resources are mobilized in individual linguistic systems for building meaningful constructions – we shall question the relevance of Word Order classifications originating in the analysis of « neutral » utterances. The demonstration will start from Answers (A) as primary elements of Information Structuring. Distinguishing 3 types of As (simple / complex / multiple A), one can show that the MCU (Minimal Communicative Utterance), a short rhematic A, is frequently in impromptu speech the pivot of 2 binary information strategies involving Initial and Final Detachments, Theme-Rheme and Rheme-Mneme respectively. With examples of Question-Answer pairs borrowed from different discourse genres – from everyday conversations to political debates and interviews – we will investigate to what measure a typology of these pairs, as contextualized utterances of ordinary language, not only permits to tackle //context / co-text / sentence combining//, but can challenge the traditional Word Order classifications ((SVO, SOV etc.). Examples will be taken from different language families – Indo-European, Finno-Ugric, South-Asian.
