Nouveaux developpements de l'imparfait / New developments of the 
'imparfait' (les vendredi 22 et samedi 23 mars 2002 / Fri.22nd and 
Sat.23rd March 2002) - Aston University (Birmingham, GB)

Le tiroir imparfait (IMP) a subi une extension considerable de ses 
usages a travers l'histoire du francais. En effet, dans l'ancienne 
langue, on retrouvait le passe simple (PS) dans des contextes 
aujourd'hui consideres prototypiques de l'IMP, tels que la 
description.
L'IMP a acquis progressivement une variete d'emplois, temporels de 
concordance (il a dit qu'il venait a deux heures) et "stylistiques"
(par exemple l'hypocoristique : il etait gentil, le toutou a sa 
memere ou le forain : qu'est-ce qu'il lui fallait a la p'tite dame 
?). Cette forme assume aujourd'hui des roles divers et nouveaux, qui 
semblent contredire les descriptions linguistiques traditionnelles ; 
on les designe sous des appellations diverses : imparfait de rupture, 
imparfait narratif, imparfait pittoresque. Ces extensions d'usage 
forcent a reconsiderer les presentations theoriques de l'imparfait, 
de meme qu'elles amenent a s'interroger sur les consequences 
pedagogiques (en particulier dans la presentation des temps du passe 
en FLE) et pratiques (dans la traduction notamment) qui en decoulent. 
Ce sont ces questions qui constitueront l'objet de l'atelier projete, 
qui en rassemblant un nombre limite de specialistes permettra 
d'envisager les reponses possibles.

Nous vous invitons cordialement a soumettre avant le 30 septembre 
prochain une proposition de communication, donnant en une page le 
titre et le resume de la problematique et de l'analyse consideree.
