| Περίληψη: | Psycholinguistic aspects of demonstrative processing : “crossed” results in French and English. In two sets of experiment (in French and English) we tested the assumption that demonstratives (pronouns and determiners), because of their deictic procedure, may serve to re-orient the discourse, drawing the addressee’s attention to a less-accessible, less-focused discourse referent. Results obtained both in French – with the demonstrative pronoun celui-ci/celle-ci (Fossard, 2001 ; Fossard α Rigalleau, 2005) and English – with the demonstrative noun-phrase that N ( that man/ that woman) highlight the specificity of demonstratives : as “break” markers (De Mulder, 1997, Kleiber, 1994), they permit to bring something new, drawing the reader’s attention to a referent which – though already introduced in the discourse – is not the one expected to ensure the referential continuity (cf. Cornish, 1999 ; Kleiber, 1994). |
