Notre analyse portera sur la dimension herméneutique du concept de dialogisme introduit par un important théoricien du roman, Mikhaïl Bakhtine, en traçant une ligne de démarcation nette entre le dialogisme littéraire et le dialogisme linguistique. Nous y expliquons les deux formes majeures du dialogisme bakhtinien produisant souvent des effets herméneutiques, le dialogisme linguistique, terme repris et développé aussi par le linguiste Oswald Ducrot, et le dialogisme discursif. Au niveau du dialogisme discursif nous expliquons également toutes ses manifestations parmi lesquelles il est à mentionner le dialogisme interdiscursif, l’intertextualité, le dialogisme interlocutif, le dialogisme intralocutif.

Our study focuses on the hermeneutic dimension of the concept of “dialogism” introduced by the Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin, who establishes the distinction between literary dialogism and linguistic dialogism. We explore the two major forms of the Bakhtinian dialogism that often enhance hermeneutic effects, namely linguistic dialogism – concept that is taken up and developed by the French linguist Oswald Ducrot, and discursive dialogism respectively. We also analyze and account for the different types of dialogic discourse, such as interdiscursive dialogism, intertextuality, interlocutive dialogism, intralocutive dialogism. Mikhail Bakhtin was an important semiotician who worked on literary theory, ethics and the philosophy of language. His writings, on a variety of subjects – Problems of Dostoevsky's Art, Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics, Rabelais and His World – inspired scholars working in a number of different traditions and in disciplines as diverse as literary criticism, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology and psychology.
