Typologie textuelle et gradualité: « un effet de dominante »
Textual Typology and Gradualness: the dominance effect

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on setting the levels of pragmatic, discoursive and textual analysis of the sub-genres of journalistic discourse, as they appear in newspaper articles, in relation to their interpretation and categorization. The way in which the socio-discursive interaction and the reference choices of the argumentative discourse relying on the main levels of organization, support the possibility of an argumentative and explicative interpretation that underlies in the conditions of production-reception of the envisaged texts. We proposed a corpus of twelve texts, selected from a larger inventory of articles published in « Capital », « L’Entreprise » and « Management ». In order to suggest a classification of these texts and to identify their “commonalities”, we tried to answer a number of questions, such as: What are the apparent contents? To what level do they belong? What is that differentiates among them? Thus, the gradualness and the dominance effect are key concepts that orient our interpretation and also help us to compare the texts that correspond to various sub-genres of the journalistic discourse.
