| Περίληψη: | The aim of this paper is to study the segment ah çà/ça, which in these uses supplants the medieval form or çà. This discourse marker combines two terms, an interjection and a deictic spatial adverb, as well as two senses in discourse, that of ah, which conveys an emotion linked to the surprise triggered by an unexpected situation, and that of çà, which points to an unexpected element in the speech context. In the 19th century, this marker was particularly noted for its reactive quality, indicating the speaker’s perplexity and sudden realization of a situation. As a discourse marker, it is used to signal the start of a turn, in dialogues or in internal monologues or free indirect speech. It declined rapidly from 1915 onwards, probably due to the confusion between the adverbial çà and its use as a resumptive pronoun ça. A renewal of forms seems to be taking place with other discourse markers expressing surprise, such as par exemple or ça alors. |
