Considérations sur le style d’Irène Nemirovsky dans Le Malentendu
Considerations on Irène Némirovsky’s Style in Le Malentendu

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyse the style of Irène Némirovsky in her early novel Le Malentendu with a focus on three main figures of speech: metaphors, similes and epithets. Metaphors are analysed from the semantic and grammatical points of view. At the same time, we attempt at presenting the underlying metaphoric mechanism they are based on. Similes are also analysed from a semantic and syntactic point of view. Epithets are classified in terms of form and meaning.
