Fan Community Forums and Pseudo-Experts. The Verb relire as a Mark of Semantic Delimitation
Abstract
The verb “relire” in French always means “to read again”, either in the sense of reading again for pleasure, or reading with a view to checking or correcting a piece of writing. But this twofold definition is not enough. It’s important to observe when, how and why speakers use the verb. In this article, we want to show that the use of this verb, under certain morphosyntactic, hermeneutic and enunciative conditions, functions as a delimiting marker of the status of a pseudo-expert. To this end, we created a corpus based on French-language online discussion forums in the context of the recent releases of the series Foundation (2021) and Rings of Power (2022), both inspired by literary works. We adopted a micro-semantic approach based on interpretative semantics. Without neglecting the typology of the speech acts or a purely grammatical approach, this study proposes first and foremost a semantic analysis of this corpus.
