Degrés de subjectivisation dans la représentation linguistique de la perception : le cas de la perception directe dans les récits en anglais by Henry Wyld

“…Drawing on examples taken from narrative fiction in English, this article sets out to explore the grammar of the linguistic expression of perception from the standpoint of the degree of subjectivisation manifest in the percept’s mode of presentation – at one extreme, standard perceptual reports, by which, in association with a verb of perception, the speaker-narrator names or describes an object of perception whilst at the same time predicating it of an origin of perception figuring syntactically within the same utterance (domain of predicated perception); at the other extreme, markedly more subjectivised modes of expression via which, without recourse to a predicate of perception, the sensorial essence of the act of perception as it is experienced by the perceiving subject is given direct linguistic expression (domain of represented perception). …”
