Abstract EN:
Comment,a la suite de quels processus linguistiques et sociolinguistiques,le mot classe est-il devenu le terme generique de la division sociale au 19eme siecle,l'element lexical sur lequel le concept s'est fixe? pour repondre a cette question,on a reuni plusieurs importants corpus de textes,en particulier dans la base de donnees frantext, et etudie le mot classe selon une methodologie qui associe la semantique lexicale a des approches discursives plus larges. On a cherche d'abord le contexte d'emergence du sens moderne de classe. Puis repere les modalites de sa diffusion tout au long du 18eme siecle, et suivi son insertion dans le discours historique de la restauration, jusqu'aux premieres formulations du syntagme lutte(s) de(s) classes. En meme temps, on a degage les deux premieres strates du concept, chez les physiocrates et chez le comte de saint-simon.
Abstract FR:
Which linguistic and socio-linguistic processes have led the word classe to become the generic word of social division during the 19th century,the lexical element which expressed the concept of classe? to answer this question,we have collected several textual corpus,in part in the database frantext,and analysed the word classe according to a methodology which associates lexical semantics with larger discurives approches. Firstly,we have looked for the context where the modern meaning of the word has emerged. Afterwards,we have located the modes of its diffusion all along the 18th century,and followed its integration in the historical papers during restauration period till the first formulations of the syntagm lutte(s) de (s) classes. In the same time we have distinguished between the two first strata of the concept,in the phyiocrates's and the comte of saint-simon's texts.
