Abstract
Guilhaumou Jacques - On discourse analysis : historians and the "linguistic turning point". The coming of the "time of doubt" (Roger Chartier) in the field of history opens up a vast perspective for thinking out the impact of the "linguistic turning point" on history. Discourse analysis in historical disciplines is realised by an experimental set-up, combining the archive statement inherited from Michel Foucault and invested in configurational work, and the ancient and privileged relationship with structural linguistics, in the form of various methodological tools. Resting on the theme of the reflexivity of language, historical discourse analysis has become an interpretative discipline in its own right, allied with other disciplines of the "linguistic turning point" active in Germany ant the United-States. A specific object of study, the figure of the spokesman during the French Revolution, is the thread we follow here in our concrete presentation of the way the discourse historian operates.
