Willdescripteur : Valeur définitoire, descriptive

 

L'énonciateur (-trice) attribue une caractéristique

au référent du sujet :

 

moi qui parle, j'estime que ce je dis du sujet,

ce que j'attribue au sujet,

est très probablement vrai, bien connu, va de soi,

repose sur des données bien établies.

 

 

Cette définition peut être indépendante

du temps chronologique (time).

 

Willdescripteur ne se traduit donc pas toujours par le futur.

 

 

Comics ci-dessus, droite, grande case:

Traduction de will attack par le présent :

 

The newly hatched fry, like their parents,

are CANNIBALS

and will attack and swallow their own brothers and sisters

 

[ caractéristique inhérente du sujet :

avec will - et à l'inverse de shall -

l'intervention de l'énonciateur est ici minimale :

 

moi énonciateur-relai,

je me tiens en retrait, je reste objectif,

je ne peux que redire ce que les spécialistes de ces poissons

ont déjà dit ].

 

Traduction explicative :

... sont des cannibales

qui attaquent leurs propres frères et soeurs pour les dévorer.

 

 

 

 

 

La validité de will

peut être renforcée par un procédé graphique :

 

The proof: Vote reform will boost turnout

 

By Marie Woolf,

Chief Political Correspondent

15 June 2005

 

Countries which elect their governments

using proportional voting systems

have higher turnouts among voters than those using

first-past-the-post, electoral specialists have found.

Nations using PR had average turnouts of 70 per cent

- 10 per cent higher than those, such as Britain,

which use non-proportional systems.

The analysis of turnout in 164 countries,

by Professor Pippa Norris of Harvard University,

was seized on yesterday by MPs

who said PR may be an answer

to addressing the worrying lack

of voter engagement in the UK.

l'autre par le présent :

His father will not allow his mother

to have any contact with her son

and she has to do so secretely.

When she does contact him,

she urges him to repent and marry, as do his brothers and sisters.

He finds these conversations upsetting and frustrating.

He has been threatened with violence by one family member

and he refuses to reveal his address to them.

and some will have read about Lucky Luke,

the cowboy who shoots faster than his shadow.

They are the most famous cartoon figures created

by France's most prolific and influential comic strip author,

René Goscinny.

Now, more than 25 years after he died of a heart attack,

the full variety of 2,000 published heroes and villains

that sprang from his imagination has been collected

for what will be France's bestselling Christmas present

- the 1,250-page Dictionnaire Goscinny.

So you think disaster will never strike?

 

A third of us have no life cover.

Yet if we die, our families could lose their homes

and be wrecked financially.

Melanie Bien reports

 

Accidents will happen and illness can strike,

but many of us seem to assume

that our charmed lives will last for ever.

According to research from the Alliance & Leicester bank,

almost a third of Britons haven't got life assurance.

Ten years after it was published,

Elizabeth Wurtzel's Prozac Nation is still selling steadily.

Surely, then, the film version,

with a stunning central performance from Christina Ricci,

can't fail?

Except Miramax won't even let us see it...

Satellites will track 5,000

of the worst criminals in Britain

 

Satellite technology will be used to track 5,000 career

criminals who are responsible for one in every 10 crimes

in Britain,

the Home Secretary David Blunkett will announce tomorrow.

The radical new technology, which has been developed

in the US, will enable law enforcement officers to pinpoint

the exact location of criminals who have been released early

from prison and fitted with electronic tags.

It will feature among a series of measures in a five-year plan

to tackle burgeoning violent crime and antisocial behaviour.

Home Office figures released next week will show

police forces recording rises as high as 25 per cent.

A Home Office source said:

"We are the largest users of tagging outside the US

and we will continue to do this.

We will introduce satellite tracing for prolific offenders

as well as for domestic violence and sex offenders."
