Roses et Rhétorique : Une étude lexico-sémantique des expressions idiomatiques dans la littérature française

Abstract

This study examines the lexico-semantic and stylistic roles of idiomatic expressions based on the word "rose" in French literature. By analyzing classical and contemporary texts, such as those by Victor Hugo and Charles Baudelaire, the research highlights how these idiomatic expressions contribute to thematic depth, symbolizing love, beauty, decay, and disillusionment. The findings reveal that "rose"-based idioms not only enrich the linguistic texture of the works but also reflect broader cultural and literary trends. A comparative analysis with other literary traditions further underscores the evolving meanings of these expressions over time.
