This contribution deals with enunciative conditions underlying the semantic values of French futur simple. In particular, the attention will be focussed on some cotextual and contextual elements which could influence the enunciative situation (Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 2002). The study of the uses of future simple will be carried out on the basis of a corpus of 2328 texts – 643236 tokens – belonging to the economy section of Le Figaro (1st January – 28th February 2007). As economy language is based on predictions, the main aim will consist of the research of futur simple values expressing prediction. In addition, a particular focus will be given to the possibility that specific degrees of prediction might depend on futur simple values. Finally, this study will discover the role of French futur simple in economic popular discourse.

Abstract
This contribution deals with enunciative conditions underlying the semantic values of French futur simple. In particular, the attention will be focussed on some cotextual and contextual elements which could influence the enunciative situation (Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 2002). The study of the uses of future simple will be carried out on the basis of a corpus of 2328 texts – 643236 tokens – belonging to the economy section of Le Figaro (1st January – 28th February 2007). As economy language is based on predictions, the main aim will consist of the research of futur simple values expressing prediction. In addition, a particular focus will be given to the possibility that specific degrees of prediction might depend on futur simple values. Finally, this study will discover the role of French futur simple in economic popular discourse.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
