La citation dans le discours journalistique satirique: entre norme et détournement

Abstract

In this article, we have chosen to observe the functioning of citational practices through the analysis of a corpus of articles published in satirical newspapers written in French and Romanian. In fact, satirical discourse most often presents uses of quotation sometimes considered "deviant" in the sense that it subverts the norms: the role attributed to direct discourse is different, the sources cited are chosen and named according to particular criteria, the methods of inserting the quoted discourse into the quoting discourse transgress usual practices. In the articles taken into consideration, the purpose of this diversion is the triggering of laughter through the degradation, the distortion of reality. Our analysis will examine the sources of laughter through the nuanced observation of the uses of citational practices identified in the corpus, in an equally comparative and complementary approach.
