LA TERMINOLOGIE LINGUISTIQUE FACE AUX PHÉNOMÈNES DISCURSIFS.

The article deals with meta-pragmatics and reviews some of the turning points in linguistic description, within which the natural speech phenomena that have been ignored in grammatical conceptualisation have inevitably given rise to a new terminology, open to discursive phenomena. Through the new terms the grammar or even the discourse analysis proposed at its beginnings, the analysis points out the fact that the attitudes towards some new discursive phenomena, especially to the oral discourse, are negative judgements of those phenomena. Thus, such terms as interjection, apposition, dislocation, predicative word, phrase-adverb, incidence, discursive phrase, unfinished sequences, false-starts, etc, are proof of the categorization of the phenomena as breaks in the traditionally recognised norms and grammatical functions. They are, however, natural phenomena of the discourse which, succeeding the grammatical models, will be reconsidered as functions or discursive structures by the descriptive models of the discourse.
