Mode de procès et dimensions aspectuelles dans De l’Angelus de l’aube à l’Angelus du soir

 

Abstract

This reflection on the collection De l’Angelus de l’Aube à l’Angelus du soir, by Francis Jammes, is situated in the framework of verbal aspectual values and of modes of process. A review of morphological features of verbal aspect, followed by attention to selected passages from the collection demonstrates that the freshness and the simplicity of the poetry is illuminated by aspectual dimensions and by the modes of process. When all is said and done, the book exudes a limpidity and a frankness that emerges, in part, from verbal elements, especially aspectual phenomena, grammatical features that indicate the way the state of things envisioned develops in space and in time.

Notes

1 L’aspect perfectif, autrement désigné comme conclusif, hétérogène, ou terminatif, indique un procès qui n’est réalisé qu’une fois arrivé à son terme. L’aspect imperfectif, lui, indique un procès qui est réalisé aussitôt qu’il est entamé. Par exemple, si le procès de marcher est interrompu avant de s’achever, l’acte de marcher aura quand même eu lieu.
