Abstract

François Rastier : Poétique et textualité. Despite some reluctance, the problem of genres is part and parcel of linguistics. Genre is a global clue which characterizes every text. Moreover, genre determines the relationship between the two strata of language at the text level, by means of what we may call textual semiosis. Genres also have a feedback on local clues, at the level of vocabulary and morphosyntax. Finally, the description of genres is necessary to conceive the space of norms, a mediation between a linguistic system and usage.
