Mots-clefs : analyse du discours, dialogue, dialogisme, discours, polyphonieAbout the relevance of the notion of dialogism for discourse analysisThe discourse makes sense not only thanks to its relation to its objects built as such, butalso thanks to its relation to other discourses about these same objects. Indeed, adiscourse (i) is always answering a prior discourse/ discourses, and (ii) constantlyanticipates the answers of later discourses which are appealed to.French discourse analysis already underlined the fact that discourses must be related toouter constituent elements with the concept of interdiscourse. Here we develop a notionsimilar but different, the notion of dialogism borrowed from Bakhtine. We first define it asthe orientation of the discourse towards other discourses, an orientation which is markedat different levels of the discursive material. We then describe how, at a syntactical level,this interaction of the discourse with other discourses is expressed in a political textpublished in the press.Key words : discourse analysis, dialogism, discourse, polyphony
