| Résumé anglais |
Inequality comparative constructions are found amongst the so-called “negative polarity” contexts. Actually, it has often been suggested that comparison operations contain an underlying negation; in addition, comparative clauses form part of structures allowing for the presence of an expletive negation in some languages, like French or Spanish. In this paper, we intend to examine the comparisons which can present that supposed negative mark in French – ne – from a semantic perspective on the basis of certain assumptions from O. Ducrot's polyphonic theory and from J.-C. Anscombre's stereotypical theory. Specifically, the internal polyphonic structure of those sequences are analysed here as a conglomeration of points of view conveying argumentative instructions and a hypothesis is presented which accounts for the internal “negativity” of comparisons.
