The memory of speeches - instrument of valorization of languages and cultures (I) - Romanian: language of heart and resistance during the Great War -

Summary/Abstract: Pairing the terms language and culture is, without any doubt, something new if we think of the circumstances ensued from the « planetary awareness era» (cf. Mircea Eliade). Transdisciplinarity has become the « beacon » in this combat between linguistic and cultural investigative perspectives and any combination in terms of research fields leads to an original if not a groundbreaking perspective on the subject of interest.The word memory is multifaceted in French, given its two genres and the different meanings attached to it accordingly. The « discourse memory », defined by Dominique MAINGUENEAU in 2002 (p. 371 – 372) in terms of its relations to text, interdiscourse and conservation, can explain the gradual enhancement of knowledge shared by the interlocutors during a verbal exchange.We can thus speak about an « intratextual memory » where a certain discourse refers to another one, a previous one. Consequently, the conceptual pair external memory / internal memory can be applied to any discursive form.In a series of articles (2018), we aim at meeting a new challenge in the field of language sciences with a view to (re)considering the discourse/our discourses as a source of a text seen as a keeper of a nation’s cultural memory.
