Rituels épistolaires dans les lettres des poilus peu et moins lettrés : une analyse contrastive

In this paper we propose a contrastive analysis of the epistolary rituals in the letters of the soldiers of the First World War according to their level of education. After the presentation of the methodology, the objectives and the constitution of the corpus, we will present the theoretical framework and the researches already carried out on the letters of "peu lettrés". Finally, we will analyze the opening and closing formulas of the letters as well as transitions between these parts and the body of the letter, in order to observe differences and similarities between "peu lettrés" and "plus lettrés" writers.
