Rougir / devenir rouge : l’expression linguistique du langage corporel et ce qu’elle laisse inférer dans un genre textuel

Abstract

The subject of this article is part of research trying to identify in a textual genre lexico-syntactic con-structions with generic markers value. The analysis focuses on the linguistic expression of the manifestation of the blushing body in two textual genres: the detective novel and the romance novel. The aspectu-al value of these constructions may be related to the textual genre in which they appear because it seems to guide the inferential mechanism in the discovery of implicit information.
