Abstract EN:

Writing for a newspaper as a specific way of "speaking" is hardly a wellknown activity. A speech analysis with such an objective as the study of the linguistic processes that eventually lead the "speaker" to produce sense can enable very researcher to define the main ways in which what specefic speech is used by the newspaper eventually works. In the present study, such an analysis will probe into three different levels of speech : the layout of the newspaper, such a varied linguage phenomena as enunciation technics, the various modes of referring to the topics dealt with. . . And also the different ways of organizing any speech, whether it be a story, a description or a demonstration. Such theorical processes as are ordinarily used for the study of litterature have been adapted to fit the study of rhetorical means used to provide the readers with news and information in as specific a situation as that of communicating through the media. Various strategies within whose range the two partners implied in the act of communicating have to "operate" as thus been defined, taking into account the main two aims of this kind of speech : how to let the readers know about the news and how to make them trust what is thus said. The way in which what information is given by the newspaper will be trusted depends upon a twofold process : how real and how trustfull the information will eventually sound. Besides, whatever text may be a produced by the newspaper cannot come "out of the blue", and its readers will be implied in a twofold way of copying with the articles : they will both have to discover and to recognize.
