COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FRENCH CONNECTORS ‘EN SOMME(SOMME TOUTE)’, ‘EN FAIT’: A PRAGMATIC APPROACH

https://doi.org/10.18384/2310-712X-2021-1-86-93

Abstract

Aim. The author aims to consider the functioning of grammatical units with a wide, contextually determined meaning - connectors ‘en somme (somme toute)’, ‘en fait’ on the bases of modern pragmatics and explain the phenomena of their occasional synonymy. Methodology. The protocols of the debates in the European Parliament were studied using the method of argumentative analysis, proposed by O. Ducrot and J.-C. Anscombrе, as the result the contextually determined meanings arising in the actualization of the connectors ‘en somme (somme toute)’, ‘en fait’ were established. Results. The study made it possible to identify the functional semes, the actualization of which brings together the connectors ‘en somme (somme toute)’ and ‘en fait’ (the meaning of re-evaluating the previous judgment). Research implications. The study allows to specify the dictionary meaning of the connectors ‘en somme (somme toute)’, ‘en fait’ and proves the productivity of the pragmatic analysis of units of this lexico-grammatical class with wide grammatical meaning.
