Formes sémantiques et textualité

Abstract

François Rastier : Semantic forms and textuality Textual units, particularly semantic units such as themes and actors, do not correspond to the image of discrete units which the logico-grammatical tradition bequeathed to us. Textual units are manifested not in words but in passages related to genetic and hermeneutic practices : They are stabilized moments of these practices. In conformity with the theory of semantic perception, units are forms drawn against backgrounds : they undergo diffusive movements (transformation of forms into backgrounds) and summoning movements (transformation of backgrounds into forms). This study intends to contribute to a general theory of these transformations.
