Abstract
We examine here, from a socio-political point of view, linguistic usages of Jacobine popular societies or patriotic clubs during the French Revolution, and their repercussions on so-called public opinion. Although the aim of Jacobine associative discourse was a total renewal of socio-popitical language, it was not able to free itself entirely either from the religious rhetoric of the Ancien Regime, of from classical terminology, the source of the new civic vocabulary. By means of doctrinal instruction and the civi education of citizens, the ultimate goal of this renovation was to transform those forms of public discourse developed in the popular societies dosctrinal discourse itself, revolutonary songs, form of address, official instructions, civic oaths into public opinion.
