Résumé anglais Modalities, modalisations and represented discourse. The concepts of modality, modalisations or enunciative staging are valuable tools to analyse discourse dynamics. Modality may be defined as a reaction of the speaker towards a representation he/she builds in his/her own speech. This reaction, which results in the anchoring of the representation in a particular universe has little to do with the concept of modalisation which dwells on an enunciative split with the production of a reflexive commentary. If modality contributes to the meaning of the utterance, modalisation makes enunciative staging more complex to such an extent that meaning becomes opaque and the relation is blurred. In this study, we examine the way discourse develops, using these tools and taking into account represented discourse as well as sub- (or under-) and superenunciation (or overenunciation) phenomena.
