Current Conference Proceedings Volume
Speech, the fundamental vector of human communication, comes in an infinity of forms, functions and uses. In turn a tool of expression, influence, resistance, creation or power, it crosses disciplines and social spaces. The present work, resulting from the international conference 'Speech in all its states', brings together plural contributions that question speech in its diversity: oral or written speech, profane or sacred, intimate or public, performative or symbolic. By crossing the perspectives of linguistics, literature, philosophy, sociology, information and communication sciences, these acts offer a rich and nuanced exploration of the forms and challenges of speech in contemporary societies. A valuable tool for researchers, students, teachers and all those who question the powers and mutations of speech today. A. GBOGBOU
