Séquence d’introduction de discours représenté : faire ou dire ? by Lotfi Abouda, Nina Rendulic

“…In this paper we study a particular use of the verb faire, i.e. as an approximate equivalent of dire introducing a reported speech in French, in a corpus of about one million words, extracted from ESLO (“Sociolinguistic Survey in Orleans”), which consists of samples of recordings carried out 40 years apart (ESLO1 and ESLO2). A first contrastive analysis of the occurrences of reported speech with faire from a micro-diachronic perspective reveals the recent emergence of this structure, mainly in informal interactional genres among young speakers. …”
