Le but de cet article est de proposer une explication à la nouvelle de Janet Frame intitulée « The Birds Began to Sing », grâce à une analyse détaillée du marqueur grammatical « and », en utilisant des concepts empruntés à la grammaire cognitive et aux théories de l’énonciation. Il tente également de montrer comment la théorie linguistique peut s’appliquer à un texte littéraire, utilisé non pas simplement comme un corpus linguistique, mais analysé dans sa spécificité littéraire. Le coordonnant « and », qui est souvent considéré comme étant sémantiquement et stylistiquement peu important, se trouve au cœur de la nouvelle de Janet Frame. Il lui donne un sens et fait apparaître une complexité sous-jacente à la simplicité apparente de la nouvelle, et finalement une fausse naïveté. |
