Notre thèse entend explorer de manière approfondie les modes de relation, problématiques et paradoxaux, de Barbey d’Aurevilly à l’aristocratie, en posant l’hypothèse que cette conscience identitaire est au fondement de sa conception et de sa pratique de l’écriture. Après avoir saisi l’idée que l’auteur se fait de l’identité aristocratique, dans une dynamique évolutive, et avoir décrit avec précision ce qui constitue pour lui les traits d’un aristocrate idéal, nous interrogeons plus particulièrement la manière dont il cherche à mettre en scène cette identité dans son style de vie et dans ses écrits. Comment concilier cette identité avec son statut d’écrivain ? Attaché à une posture aristocratique d’Ancien Régime qui privilégie la tradition de l’amateurisme et une esthétique de la négligence, Barbey d’Aurevilly légitime pourtant son écriture, de manière paradoxale, par le déploiement d’ethé aristocratiques, différents en fonction des genres abordés. Ces ethé donnent légitimité à ses prises de parole, en même temps que leur nature foncièrement ambivalente libère l’écrivain de contradictions personnelles en lui permettant de se réclamer de modèles prestigieux. Nous explorons enfin plus largement la manière dont une telle posture aristocratique influe sur sa conception de l’écriture et de la littérature, à travers une étude poétique et stylistique. / Our thesis intends to explore, through an extensive study, Barbey d’Aurevilly’s problematic and paradoxical ways of relationship to aristocracy, setting the hypothesis that this identity conscience lies at the basis of his conception and his experience of writing. After having grasped the idea that the author has developed about aristocratic identity, following evolutive dynamics, and having precisely described what constitutes for him the features of the ideal aristocrat, we mean to question more particularly the way he tries to assert this identity in his style of life and writings. How is it possible to conciliate this identity with one’s status of writer ? Attached to an aristocratic posture, dating back to the Ancient Regime, which privileges the amateurism tradition and aesthetics of negligence, Barbey d’Aurevilly legitimates nevertheless his writing art, paradoxically, by the display of aristocratic ethé, different according to the various genres involved. These ethé justify his discourses ; meanwhile their fundamentally ambivalent nature sets the writer free of his personal contradictions and enables him to invoke these prestigious models. Finally, we explore more largely the way such an aristocratic posture influences his conception of writing and literature, through a poetical and stylistic study.

Os estudos estilísticos, inseridos na área de estudos da língua portuguesa, têm por objetivo verificar como a escolha lexical e os neologismos literários podem causar diversos efeitos sobre os leitores de obras literárias. Entre outros autores, Alves (1990), Barbosa (1981), Lapa (1977), Mattoso Câmara Jr. (1985) e Martins (2000), discorreram a respeito do tema, salientando a importância da criação lexical em relação à expressividade e à criatividade de diferentes autores brasileiros. Tendo em vista a importância das pesquisas nessa área, escolhemos como corpus da nossa pesquisa a obra em prosa do autor teatral Ariano Suassuna, o Romance d\'A Pedra do Reino e a História d\'O Rei Degolado, caracterizada pela presença significativa de criações lexicais, as quais, além de transmitir para o leitor a visão de mundo do narrador, Dom Pedro Dinis Ferreira-Quaderna, também conferem a seu texto grande originalidade, tendendo para a subversão ou validação dos gêneros literários nos quais Suassuna se inspirou para criar sua obra, sobretudo as novelas de cavalaria e a literatura de cordel. Verificamos também como, por meio de uma cuidadosa manipulação do léxico, Quaderna procura aliciar seus leitores, mostrando uma visão de mundo única e procurando impor os valores culturais que considera importantes no campo da cultura brasileira. A partir da identificação e recolha dos neologismos suassunianos, e dada sua grande diversidade, nossa proposta é apresentar neste trabalho uma amostra dos neologismos sintagmáticos e semânticos encontrados nas duas obras, levando em conta aspectos como a afetividade das palavras e expressividade de sufixos, salientando também como, por meio de suas criações, o autor concretiza a mistura dos elementos eruditos e populares que constituem a base de seu pensamento cultural. / Stylistics studies, included in the field of research related to the Portuguese language, aim at verifying how the choice of lexicon and literary neologisms can affect readers of literature. Among other authors, Alves (1990), Barbosa (1981), Lapa (1977), Mattoso Câmara Jr. (1985), and Martins (2000) studied this subject, highlighting the importance of lexical creation in connection with the expressiveness and creativity of many Brazilian writers. Bearing in mind the relevance of research in this field, we have chosen as corpus for our study the only prose works by playwright Ariano Suassuna, Romance d\'A Pedra do Reino and História d\'O Rei Degolado, characterised by the significant amount of lexical creation, which not only conveys to the reader the worldview of their narrator, Dom Pedro Dinis Ferreira-Quaderna, but also confer the text great originality, tending either to the subversion or validation of the literary genres which inspired Suassuna to create his works, especially chivalric romance and cordel literature. We have also verified how, through careful lexical manipulation strategies, Quaderna attempts to entice his readers by showing a single worldview, and trying to impose Brazilian cultural values that he deems to be important. From the identification and collection of neologisms created by Suassuna, the main objective of this study is to present a sample of syntagmatic and semantic neologisms found in both works, taking into consideration aspects such as the affectivity of words and the expressiveness of suffixes; thus highlighting how effectively Suassuna creates and uses classical and popular elements the basis of his cultural thinking.

The first cries compounds possessed simple harmonies, making the soloists of the time to interpret differently from today. The different treatments harmonics, which have arisen over time, seem to have been one of the leaders of these different interpretations, which have been shown in an intense and characteristic improvisation. Apparently, there was an increase in these transformations of choro with the rapid development of technology and media from the mid-twentieth century. This circumstance, perhaps, brought a more intense and immediate contact of this musical genre with global genres such as jazz, for example, as a new and intense focus on improvisation, which has drawn attention to formal structures and performing hybrid performances. The intensification of cultivation of Jazz in the country and later the emergence of Bossa Nova in the mid-twentieth century, it seems, interfered markedly in the improvisation of gender, providing new composers to invest in new procedures related to this harmonic American genre. Given this circumstance, this study aimed to investigate the technical and cultural implications resulting from the interference of different harmonics in procedures related to the processes of improvisation and musical genre choro in this context not only seek melodic and harmonic innovations, but also processes of identity implicated in processes of cultural hybridization. / O choro, um gênero instrumental que cultiva o estilo improvisatório, sofreu transformações no decorrer da sua história, tanto na melodia, quanto na harmonia. Os primeiros choros compostos possuíam harmonias simples, fazendo que os solistas da época interpretassem de maneira diferente dos atuais. Os diferentes tratamentos harmônicos, que foram surgindo ao longo do tempo, parecem ter sido um dos principais responsáveis por essas interpretações distintas, que têm se evidenciado de forma intensa e característica na improvisação. Ao que tudo indica, houve um incremento nessas transformações do choro com o grande desenvolvimento da tecnologia e da mídia a partir de meados do século XX. Essa circunstância, possivelmente, trouxe um contato mais intenso e imediato desse gênero musical com gêneros globais, como o Jazz, por exemplo, assim como um novo e intenso foco na improvisação, o que tem apontado para estruturas formais e atuações performáticas híbridas. A intensificação do cultivo do Jazz no país e, posteriormente, o surgimento da Bossa Nova em meados do século XX, ao que tudo indica, interferiram de forma marcante na improvisação do gênero, propiciando aos novos compositores investirem em novos procedimentos harmônicos relacionados a esse gênero americano. Tendo em vista esta circunstância, esse trabalho teve como objetivo investigar as implicações técnicas e culturais resultantes da interferência de diferentes procedimentos harmônicos nos processos de improvisação relacionados ao gênero musical choro e, nesse contexto, buscar não apenas inovações melódicas e harmônicas, mas também processos identitários implicados com processos de hibridação cultural.

Tendo a estilística como suporte metodológico, apresento uma leitura da obra do poeta pernambucano Alberto da Cunha Melo, com o objetivo de contribuir para os estudos sobre seu estilo. Inicialmente, abordo algumas questões teórico-metodológicas que norteiam minha aproximação ao texto poético; teço algumas considerações sobre conceitos como imagem, texto, estilo, forma e sentido. Em um segundo momento, procuro oferecer uma visão panorâmica da obra, analisando alguns poemas representativos de cada fase da produção do autor, que se estende por mais de quatro décadas. Nessa seção, já registro alguns traços estilísticos que mais se destacaram ao longo das várias leituras; e enfoco aspectos envolvidos na construção da expressividade, ou seja, verifico, por meio da observação de determinados recursos lingüísticos, a maneira como o sentido é produzido e afeta a percepção do leitor. Na terceira parte deste estudo, procedo à leitura estilística mais completa de quatro poemas, cada um pertencendo a uma fase distinta. A poesia de Alberto da Cunha Melo é dividida em quatro períodos, de acordo com questões relativas à forma. Na conclusão, retomo, de modo mais sistemático, os principais traços estilísticos. Embora observe diferentes aspectos do uso da língua, sempre considerando o detalhe da forma, com a finalidade de compreender como se dá a construção de sentido, focalizo, em particular, uma característica central no estilo desse poeta: o efeito de concisão e ênfase. Esse efeito é obtido por meio da reverberação de imagem, que consiste na recorrência de termos, idéias, sons ou estruturas com o intuito de intensificar determinados efeitos expressivos da imagem poética. / This research of the style of the Brazilian poet Alberto da Cunha Melo is based on the stylistic methodology and aims at contributing with the studies of this author, as well as giving descriptive information about some expressive uses of the Portuguese language. Firstly, I discuss some theoretical and methodological questions related to my kind of reading, such as image, text, style, form and sense. Secondly, I offer a panoramical approach of the author\'s style, focusing some stylistic recourses in texts selected to represent the whole poetry, which was developed throughout more than four decades. Although, in this second moment, I intend to present an overview of Alberto da Cunha Melo\'s work, the stylistic reading (on account of its interest in observing how form and content are associated) always tend to focus the details. Thirdly, I analyse more accurately four poems, each one from a different phase of production. His poetry can be divided in four different periods, concerning the techniques applied to the form. In a final chapter, I register the main stylistic characteristics of this writer. Even though I consider different aspects of the use of language, regarding how the meaning effects are obtained, I devote special attention to a technique taken as one of the most significant of his style: the reverberation of image, produced by the repetition of sounds, words, syntactic structures or ideas, creating the effect of concision and emphasis.

This thesis deals with interactional patterns in verbal disputes as portrayed in the written dialogue of Swedish drama over three centuries. The overarching aim is to contribute to research into conflict talk in Swedish dialogue, but also to contribute to historical pragmatics and linguistic stylistics. The teoretical and methodological framework combines elements from conversation analysis and theories of communicative events (activity types). A corpus of 30 drama texts, written during the 18th century, the late 19th century, and the late 20th century, was examined for examples of conflict events that are lexically marked as such in the texts (by words such as argument, dispute, quarrel etc.). A total of 47 conflict events were identified in 21 of the 30 drama texts. The construction of the beginning of the three most significant types of conflict sequences found within 45 of the 47 events, totalling 111 sequences, is analysed in detail. The three sequence types concern differences in opinion (disagreement sequences), accusations (complaint sequences) and directives (rejection sequences). One result of the study is that complaint sequences are shown to be by far the most common conflict pattern in the data. Another result is that few differences are found regarding the construction of the sequences over three centuries. For the most part, it is the same sort of moves that are frequent no matter which period the data stem from. One conclusion is therefore that the conflict patterns in drama dialogue appear to be relatively stable over time. The study also deals with the dramatic functions of the conflict patterns (the events, sequence types or moves). Two functions are discussed, namely plot development and characterisation. While all conflict can further the process of characterisation, for example by showing the negotiation of differences in power between the characters, less than half of the events further the plot by having an effect on the disputants or other characters in the drama.

This dissertation attempts to trace the shifting relationship between the fields of Rhetoric and Poetry in Western culture by focusing on poetry contests and competitions during several different historical eras. In order to examine how the distinction between the two fields is contingent on a variety of local factors, this study makes use of research in contemporary cognitive neuroscience, particularly work in categorization and cognitive linguistics, to emphasize the provisional nature of conceptual thought; that is, on the type of mental activity that gives rise to conceptualizations such as “Rhetoric” and “Poetry.” The final portions of the research attempt to use some modeling techniques derived from cognitive linguistics as invention strategies for producing stylistically idiosyncratic academic knowledge, and for examining the relationship between the stylistic markers we associate with each of the two aforementioned fields.

This dissertation is a study on the works of the Swedish author Carl Jonas Love Almqvist during the final years of his exile in America. Focusing on the monumental 1438-page unpublished manuscript 'About Swedish Rhymes', the study first presents the textual material and then discusses the text from different formal and content-based aspects essential to an understanding of Almqvist's works in exile. In the manuscripts preserved from his last years of exile, i.e. the period after 1860, Almqvist refers to 'Mr Hugo's Academy, established in the year 1838' introduced in one of the volumes of The Book of the Wild Rose (1839). In comparison with his earlier fiction about academic "cabinet meetings", this fiction of such an academy, conceived in exile, is in some ways extraordinary. A close reading of the texts reveals that the aging Almqvist, contrary to previous opinions about him, maintained strict control over the activity: the extension and division of the record, as well as its references to time and space, all indicate a complete consistency and an exact mimetic order. The consideration of 'About Swedish Rhymes' starts out from exterior qualities. The observations are first considered in relation to the author's statements on the importance of the manuscript for the literary work of art. Subsequently, the genesis of the "exile" texts is re-examined. One key question here is whether the manuscript was completed in Philadelphia, or was continued in Bremen during the final year of his life. The content of the conversations in the records of the cabinet meetings is also analyzed. Although questions of metre and versification dominate, the text also deals with a variety of widely differing subjects, including discussions about the use of language and linguistic norms. The fictitious frame that the cabinet meeting provides for the purpose of discussing metre and rhyme is also considered. Here we find various improvised verses composed at the cabinet meeting and put into the mouth of the authentic versifier H.J. Seseman. One important question is whether the cabinet-meeting discussions about the metre in these verses are intended to be a serious contribution to scholarly debate, or whether they in fact have ironic undertones. Next, the narration of the "exile" texts is discussed from the point of view provided by its own fictitious perspective, together with the author’s relation to irony, satire and parody. The concluding chapter deals with verse-making in the record of rhyming. The emphasis is laid on the analysis and characterization of the various rhymed verses collected under the title Sesemana. One essential question concerns the 'rubbishy' or 'plain' character of these poems. The present analysis indicates that questions of rubbish, textual triviality and the like must bow to the broader question of the character of the poems in a deeper sense. Seseman's poetry is considered in relation to the Songes collection. Finally the question of how rhythm manifests itself as 'free verse' in a number of these poems with more serious content is also discussed.

Den här uppsatsen undersöker de stilistiska uttryck som går att återfinna på Gina Tricots och Acne Studios Facebook-sidor. Studien utgår från teorier om eWOM, marketing management och consumer communities för att skapa en förståelse för hur och varför konsumenter och varumärken uttrycker sig som de gör på varumärkenas Facebook-sidor.Studien har genomförts med en netnografisk datainsamling av de båda varumärkenas Facebook-sidor under en tremånadersperiod, och analyserats med hjälp av en stilistisk textanalys. De huvudsakliga analyspunkterna har varit funktion, drivkraft, syfte, disposition och stilmarkörer, och studien har analyserat både varumärkes- och konsumentinlägg.Genom metoden har denna studie kommit fram till att det finns tydliga skillnader i hur de båda varumärkena använder sina respektive Facebook-sidor. Ett varumärke som Acne Studios använder sin Facebook-sida som ett medium för att dela nya plagg och kollektioner, medan Gina Tricot istället använder detta medium för att skapa interaktion med sina konsumenter och få återkoppling om vad som kan anses vackert eller gräsligt. Dessa skillnader kan ha sitt ursprung i den positionering som varumärkena valt på marknaden, och studien återkopplar till dessa och försöker med hjälp av teorin förklara varför det inte finns en korrekt användning av Facebook. Studien tar även upp de stilmarkörer som används av konsumenterna, för att se om det finns några kopplingar mellan varumärkets och konsumenternas eWOM. / This study aims to analyze the stylistic expressions that exist on the Facebook pages of Gina Tricot and Acne Studios. The study is based on theories of eWOM, marketing management and consumer communities to create an understanding on how, and why, consumers and brands choose to express themselves in a particular way on Facebook.The study has been operationalized through a netnographic data collection of the brands’ Facebook pages during a period of three months, and which have been analyzed through a stylistic textual analysis. The main aspects of the analysis have been function, incentive, purpose, disposition and the characteristics of the textual style. The study has focused on posts made by both consumers and the brands themselves.Through this method the study concluded that there are significant differences in how the two brands choose to use their Facebook pages. A brand like Acne Studios uses their Facebook page as a medium for sharing new garments and collections, while Gina Tricot uses their Facebook page to create interaction with consumers, and to receive feedback on what the consumers consider to beautiful or hideous. These differences could originate from the positioning that the brands have chosen on the fashion market, and the study reconnects with the theories regarding fashion market positioning to explain why there is not one singular correct way to use a Facebook page. The study also addresses and compares the stylistic expressions of both the consumers and the brands, to see if there are any connections between the stylistics of the two.
