Modes d'organisation et de signalisation dans des textes procéduraux

Abstract

This paper concerns the organisation of text and its surface signalling. It sets out a theoretical framework based on Halliday's functional theory of language, Mann & Thompson's RST, Virbel's Model of Text Architecture and Charolle's discourse frames. After a discussion of the bases for classifying texts in genres and types, it provides some detailed analyses of software manuals, which illustrate the need to envisage their organisation as a complex structure of interconnected levels. These illustrative analyses lead to an extended conception of the notion of marker of text organisation, which includes visual as well as lexical and syntactic markers. They also provide some directions for the articulation of levels of organisation through an attempt to relate the different models of text.
