La valeur pragmatique et la construction de soi dans le discours littéraire
The Pragmatic Value and the Construction of the Self in Literary Discourse

Summary/Abstract: Due to the communicational vocation of fictional works, the pragmatic values of literary speech conceal the construction of the self – both the writer's and the reader's. Thus it may be asserted that each enunciation comprises the author’s marks of substance, even in highly metaphorical uses of the language. These marks, always detectable, lead to the identity of the literary author. Once the author steps on the fiction stage, the dialogue with the reader begins. The latter – a faceless image – has a portrait more or less predictable before writing the text, but is definitely reshaped through the reading as mediated interaction with alterity. The two identities – the author's and the reader's – are consequently (re)shaped simultaneously in a secret synergy.
