%X Les caract¨¦ristiques d¡¯un genre de discours d¨¦coulent de la situation de communication dans laquelle il s¡¯inscrit, et qu¡¯il refl¨¨te. Pour une correspondance, et singuli¨¨rement pour une correspondance d¡¯auteurs, cette situation est celle d¡¯une interaction ¨¤ la fois directe et biais¨¦e qui engage l¡¯ethos de l¡¯¨¦pistolier. Nous analysons les id¨¦aux qu¡¯il produit sur un fond de valeurs partag¨¦es. Le champ d¡¯investigation retenu est celui de certaines correspondances c¨¦l¨¨bres du 18e si¨¨cle, car la lettre est ¨¤ cette ¨¦poque une manifestation tr¨¨s accomplie de la sociabilit¨¦. De ce fait, elle a connu une d¨¦rive litt¨¦rarisante, source d¡¯un d¨¦calage pragmatique qui l¡¯attire dans la mouvance d¡¯un genre second, la correspondance litt¨¦raire, o¨´ l¡¯implication ¨¦thique du discours devient sa d¨¦termination majeure. The characteristics of a genre of discourse depend upon its specific situation of communication - the genre being embedded in this situation and, at the same time, reflecting it. Concerning correspondences, especially between authors, this situation consists of an interaction both direct and indirect, involving the ethos of the letter writer. Our analysis focuses on the ideals it produces on a background of shared values. The field of inquiry is a choice of famous correspondences of the 18th century, since the letter was at that time an accomplished manifestation of sociability. As such, it adopted a literary form, which created a pragmatic gap and put it under the dependence of another genre, the fictional correspondence, in which ethic implications became its determining factor.
