Summary/Abstract: Pragmatic phraseology has long been perceived as a marginal linguistic object. As a result, moves from total marginality to enlightenment by several more or less recent linguistic theories have occurred. This article proposes an examination of the syntactic, morphological and semantic compositional criteria of pragmatemes used to express an emotion. We also reflect on the interaction between co-text and context in the construction of the meaning of a ‘pragmatème’ of affect. We observe the influence of the elements of textual nature namely the co-text and the environment of the context on the meaning of a ‘pragmatèmes’.
