Abstract

This article focuses on reporting clauses – fragments of the narrator’s speech in literary texts that introduce or comment on interactive phrasemes (interactemes) contained in direct speech. These fragments sometimes perform a metapragmatic function, as they reinforce, clarify or remove the ambiguity of the speaker’s communicative intention. Although such elements are usually absent from lexicographical descriptions, it is advisable to take them into account, as they form a coherent system with interactive phrasemes. Besides, it appears to be justified to use a contrastive approach to identifying and describing Russian and French interactive phrasemes, based on parallel and monolingual corpora analysis. The present work contributes to a larger project aimed at identifying and describing interactemes in Russian and comparing them with their equivalents in French.
