| description | Drawing on concepts from French discourse analysis, this article aims to examine the different enunciative postures (Rabatel 2004b, 2017) adopted by moderators in relation to the discourse of their guests, with reference to a corpus of televised political debates. Moderators are often considered to be neutral intermediaries between their guests and audience due to the various forms of enunciative effacement (Vion 2001, Rabatel 2004b) that characterize their speech. However, this contribution seeks to demonstrate the structuring role that moderators play in both enunciative and argumentative terms. Two clear patterns emerge from this analysis: moderators act as over-enunciators when reformulating their guests’ speech with a view to making the exchange more polemic and as under-enunciators when asking guests to confirm their syntheses. In the interests of their ethos of neutrality, moderators avoid expressing agreement with the points of view articulated by their invitees, in other words they don’t take the position of co-enunciators. As will be demonstrated, a strategy of over-enunciation explains the rare cases of manifest agreement observed. |
