LES BIOGRAPHIES LANGAGIERES DES APPRENANTS DE NIVEAU COLLEGE: ENTRE LE JE POLYPHONIQUE ET LE TU ENSEIGNANT

Summary/Abstract: Linguistic biography is one of the most commonly used tools sociolinguists work with in order tostudy representations of the languages which are part of the linguistic repertoire of an individual or part ofhis linguistic route throughout life. As a researcher in the field of both sociolinguistics and the didactics oflanguages, I have studied the discursive status of linguistic biographies elaborated in school contexts. Bydoing so, I have discovered that this particular type of self-reflective writing reveals a number of specificaspects which make it clearly different from the linguistic biography which is not constrained by formalcircumstances. One of the most important aspects is the polyphonics of the enunciating subject. As a result,using the instruments of discourse analysis, I have explored the enunciatory hypostases of the enunciatingsubject and grouped them in a generic category, the polyphonic self. Several subcategories are subordinatedto this generic category, the most important of which is the presence of an observer and at the same timereceiver (the teacher), and which leads to certain editing specificities from the point of view of deicticmarkers and discursive strategies, as well as to a specific choice in the content of the written composition.
