| Summary: | This paper explores the memorial and emotional dynamics of meaning construction. While examining the functioning of proper names and emotional items in discourse, it points out the entanglement of meaning, memory and emotions. Thus, for instance, event-naming toponyms (Tchernobyl, Rwanda, etc.) carry along an emotional charge that constitutes part of their meaning. Describing the way discourse enhances the connection between meaning and emotions, as well as their memorial association, opens onto a multi-dimensional conception of meaning, leaning on individual and collective memory.
