Les formes impératives chez les militaires : aspects morphosyntaxiques et sémantico-pragmatiques d’un discours

Abstract

The study of the various forms of injunctive of imperative in the discourse of command in the military, through our corpus, is generally characterized morph syntactically by a short discourse, stripped of any syntagmatic extension. Because of its performative nature, it is an action language, oriented towards one or several recipients (the soldier or the troop) destined to perform one or several actions. It is also an authoritative discourse, linked to the legitimacy of the commander. The success of the acts of language, in this theoretical approach in pragmatics, rests on a pact of communication between the speaker (who commands) and the addressee (who perform). From this, it also emerges that responses to the acts of language are framed in a perlocutionary framework, by nonverbal and Para verbal signs.
