Formules de politesse dans les émissions télévisées
Politeness Formulas in Television Shows

Summary/Abstract: The present article deals with conversational analysis, having as main objective to emphasize the greetings formulas (initiating and ending the dialogue) specific to the television programmes. It is a semantic-pragmatic contextual analysis of the greetings formulas in a contrasting French-Romanian approach, focusing on the convergent and divergent features of the linguistic means used to initiate and conclude the television programmes. Although considered as conventional formulas, the analysed greetings formulas vary not only from one programme to another, but also from one culture to another, being individualized by their affective values, which leads to their replacement with votive formulas and phrases expressing gratitude.
