A dinamização como valor no modelo de Bernard Pottier

Abstract

The article aims to highlight the relevance of some hypotheses formulated by Bernard Pottier (1981) on the dynamic nature of the internal relationships of the semiotic square, in which he proposes a syntax involving two points and two intervals. By incorporating intervals, this model seems particularly effective for dealing with gradation, i.e. transition states, and with the memory of the path between two points, which relates to Hjelmslev's analysis by dimensions (2009). To demonstrate its analytical productivity, we apply the model to veridictory modalities and passions, in terms of content, and melody, according to Tatit's model, in what regards the plan of expression.
