Summary/Abstract: The discourse analysis interwoven with textual analysis enables us to approach the works of foreign writers of French expression in the area where the discourse appears as a « discourse about itself » and « about its own work ». The demarcation of the field of action enables us to observe the pre-existing ethos (the pre-existing image of the speaker) and the discoursive ethos (the image of the speaker in the discourse). The two are completed with the pre-textual images outlining the speaker’s argumentative intention in the literary discourse.
