Abstract:
The article discusses the discourse analysis model of Patrick Charaudeau. We emphasize four commitments or theoretical concerns that seem to orient the work of this author - although not always in an explicit manner. We discuss, first, his commitment with the articulation between the situational plane and the linguistic plane. Second, we note how the author integrates in his model the macro and micro-social planes. Third, we highlight the great importance attributed to social interaction in Charaudeau's perspective. Finally, we consider how the author conceives intentionality of subjects involved in language acts.
