  Abstract:  Constructing Universes with a Comparative COMME. Comparison is an interesting marking procedure, useful because it allows a multitude of discursive effects in communication. This aspect is tremendously important for writers, in various literary genres. Although the definition of the comparison varies according to the point of view – syntactic, semantic or stylistic -, researchers agree upon classifying it into two types: a scalar comparison, which offers a quantitative perspective on the compared entities, and a non-scalar comparison, which offers a qualitative evaluation of these entities. In the present study we aim to analyze the qualitative comparison, also known as comparison of similarity or conformity, formed with the comparative morpheme comme. By the use of this morpheme, an enunciative instance – which often becomes a narrative instance within the frame of a narrative fiction – invites the receiver-interpreter to (re)build worlds in the process of reconstructing the message; these worlds are not explicitly described but, in consonance with the general orientation of the text, merely sketched or just suggested, by the sheer choice of the comparand – a landmark – with which the term to be compared, to be marked, implicitly to be evaluated (i.e. the comparee) is connected.

Keywords: morphème comparatif, terme à repérer, repère, terme à comparer, comparant, comparaison non scalaire de similarité
