The work presented by Jacques Bres, Aleksandra Nowakowska and Jean-Marc Sarale entitled Petite grammaire alphabétique du dialogisme, published in 2019 by Éditions Classiques Garnier, is in line with so-called praxematic research. The praxematics developed in France in the end of the 1970s following a critical analysis of structuralist approaches. Inspired by enunciative research applauded in France, she questioned the fundamental Saussurian dichotomies: langue/parole (language / speech), signifié/signifiant (signifier / signified), synchronie/diachronie (synchrony / diachrony), as well as the principle of language autonomy in relation to its conditions of production. Praxematic research focuses on meaning understood as a conflicting, historical and dynamic social production leading to conceptual shifts. La Petite grammaire... has a clear, operative and convenient alphabetical presentation. The publication fills a gap in the field of discourse analysis, offering a reference tool in research which is, by the nature of things, very large and heterogeneous. In addition, while the concept of “dialogism” has been very popular in different disciplines for years, it is for the first time, in the presented publication of the PRAXILING laboratory, when its functioning is analysed in linguistic details.

The paper describes typography as one of the mechanisms contributing to the construction of social meanings.According to the French discourse analysis, we assume that social meaning results from the nomination activity, which involves multiple and diverse naming of one element of the real world. Obtaining social meaning is possible by recreating the so-called designational paradigm, i.e. establishing a list of regular reformulations of the initial word introduced by metalanguage (definitional sentences), coordination, diaphors and typography. This work mainly focuses on the latter. The subsequent parts of the article discuss the impact of the comma, colon, parentheses, double dash and quotation marks on meaning construction. The description of each of them is complemented by examples derived from the study on the social meaning of the proper name Pologne (Poland), created and disseminated by the French press. It turns out that the typographic symbols are not a simple visual representation of pauses or intonation. They also have a semantic and pragmatic role. Typography signals the reformulations (comma, colon, parenthesis, dash), introduces the secondary predicates (comma, dash) and allows a journalist to distance him/herself from the created meanings (quotation marks).
