Cette enquête a pour objectif d’examiner l’usage des temps verbaux dans la presse française historique. Le travail se base sur un échantillon d’environ 1,000 instances de formes verbales finies extraites de la Gazette. L’échantillon couvre la période qui va de la parution de la Gazette en 1631 jusqu’à la Révolution en 1789. A travers une analyse quantitative de l’échantillon conjuguée à une analyse qualitative d’exemples particuliers, nous traçons l’évolution de la sélection des temps verbaux dans la presse d’actualité historique. Les résultats font état de changements touchant d’une part le genre journalistique et d’autre part la langue française pendant cette période.
Abstract
Verb tense in historical news discourse. This aim of this study is to analyse the verb tenses used in historical French news discourse. The work presented here is based on a sample of around 1000 tokens of finite verb forms taken from the Gazette. The sample covers the period from the founding of this newspaper in 1631 to the French Revolution of 1789. The study traces the evolution of verb tense selection in French news discourse through quantitative analysis of the sample and qualitative analysis of individual examples. The results highlight changes taking place during this period which affect the journalistic genre on the one hand and the French language on the other.
