This study examines the linguistic tools which enable speakers and
writers to propose adjustments and re-adjustments of the sentences
they've just produced, as well as the goals they fulfil by doing
so. We examine corrections, reformulations, specifications,
modifications of points of views and link them with discursive
strategies. (Re)-adjustments can be made in order to express
oneself in a better way, to favor comprehension by adapting to the
addressee, to structure one's intervention, to play on the
potentialities of language (polysemy, homonymy, ambiguity), to
mention the main purposes associated with the use of those devices.
The study focuses on the markers associated with those strategies.
Therefore, it links the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic levels.
