Abstract
The communication focuses on analysing the reformulations produced in the oral speech. The reformulation is taken in a broad sense as a process for changing one segment by another, but it still maintains an underlying link between the two reformulated segments. This link can be seen at different language levels: lexical, morphological, semantic and pragmatic. Typically, reformulation studies are based on the presence of markers. The work presented shows that the reformulation can also be done without markers. The source segment is interrupted and followed by a reformulated segment. This interruption can be “filled” by a lexical element: a marker that introduces the reformulation (“classical” reformulation marker, correction marker, exemplification marker, conclusion marker), a disfluent element (primer, interjection, hesitation, discursive marker), a presenter. The reasons for the amendment may be numerous: correction, paraphrase, explanation, definition, justification, conclusion, precision, name, exemplification, etc. Based on this definition of the reformulation process, it is modelled by a set of corresponding labels according to which the corpus is manually annotated. The approach is inductive and makes it possible to grasp the reformulation from a different angle, and to observe and quantify some of its characteristics.
