Résumé anglais To what extent verbal tenses are concerned with dialogism ? Jacques Bres develops the idea that the conditional is the only tense in the indicative mode to be dialogic in the language system : the morphological association of two verbal suffixes, – r and – ai (s), entails an enonciative splitting : an enunciator (E) locates in the past (–ai (s)) another enunciator (e), who views the process as subsequent (–r). The future tense and the imp1erfect (and to a certain extent the prospective imper1fect as well as the present tense and the prospective present) only have dialogic uses in context : if it is contextually required, their temporal and aspectual instructions enable them to participate actively to the production of a dialogic meaning.
