RENDRE L’ORALITÉ AU XIXe SIÈCLE. ÉTUDE DE CAS: CĂRTICICA NĂRAVURILOR BUNE PENTRU TINERIME [PETIT MANUEL DE CIVILITÉ À L’USAGE DE LA JEUNESSE] (SIBIU, 1819)
RENDERING ORAL LANGUAGE IN THE 19TH CENTURY. CASE STUDY: A YOUTH’S GUIDE TO GOOD HABITS

Summary/Abstract: Rendering oral language in the 19th century. Case study: A Youth’s Guide to Good Habits. The present paper discusses a series of punctuation marks identified in a small book published in 1819 in Sibiu, and entitled Cărticica năravurilor bune pentru tinerime [A Youth’s Guide to Good Habits]. Our purpose is to see to what extent such signs (which remain, after all, written) can render orality and help ‘translate’ the ‘speaking’ (la parole) or the modulation of a ‘spoken voice’ hidden underneath the written text.
