Marqueurs discursifs propositionnels
This article deals with a group of discourse markers that resemble sentences containing a finite verb, from a formal point of view, but that function as discourse markers which are invariable in form and which cannot govern other sentence elements. A distinction can be made between two different gro...

This article deals with a group of discourse markers that resemble sentences containing a finite verb, from a formal point of view, but that function as discourse markers which are invariable in form and which cannot govern other sentence elements. A distinction can be made between two different groups of such sentential DMs, characterized respectively by the first person singular ( je pense, je crois, je trouve) and the second person singular or plural ( tu sais/vous savez, tu vois/vous voyez). Imperative constructions can be added to form a further group of such items. The aim is to show that these expressions have undergone a grammaticalization from free verbs to discourse markers, that they have lost their ability to be governing verbs ( “verbes recteurs”), and that this can be seen in the following traits : morphological invariability, optionality, free position, no propositional contribution to the utterance, and subjective meaning.
