Abstract

This article analyses a specific discourse genre: the interview/entretien with different scientists and researchers. We highlight that the interviews analysed attempt to bring science close to the readership through the use of analogies and metaphors such as “the theory of strings” or “the primitive soup”. We carry out an analysis of the structure of ten interviews focusing on the exchanges / échanges . We have found that all of them share some common features. Scientists agree to be interviewed. Direct questions from the interviewer / journalist are not considered to be intrusive. Answers involve a series of assertive-categorical replies, hedged by politenessmodesty strategies.
