Carence de pouvoir. Deficiency of power. Les Soirées 242: N’oubliez-pas que la multitude est suspendue à notre verdict, et que nous ne pouvons offrir, comme on dit en langue politique, l’exemple fâcheux d’une carence de pouvoir. [Don’t forget that the multitude depends on our judgment and we cannot give them the bad example, to use political parlance, of a deficiency of power.] VI.C.15.264(e) (b) les incises Note: Fr. Les incises. Embedded clauses. See (d). Les Soirées 243: Il y a dans les tours précités des incises presque admises par l’usage. Tels sont: reconnut, insista, et à la rigueur ponctua.” [...] “Vous savez que les incises de la conversation mise en récit doivent être essentiellement vagues et passer presque inaperçues. Elles se réduisent à des espèces de signes de ponctuation.” [In the above turns of phrase there are embedded clauses that are almost accepted in usage, such as: reconnut, insista, and even ponctua.” […] “You know that the embedded clauses in a narrated conversation must remain vague, they should hardly be noticed at all. They function almost like a sort of punctuation sign.] VI.C.15.264(f) 4 (c) Marmontel Note: Jean-François Marmontel (1723-99). Disciple of Voltaire, poet, critic, dramatist, author of the Contes moraux (1767-77), and four volumes of Mémoires (1800-05). He was frequently quoted by grammarians and critics of the nineteenth century. He might be the author of the quotation below. Les Soirées 244: C’est ainsi que nos aïeux usaient de dit-il, fis-je, répondit-il, avec une surabondance qui nous choque presque aujourd’hui. C’est Marmontel, je crois, qui prit l’habitude de les supprimer et de marquer la conversation par des alinéas et des tirets. [This is how our ancestors used dit-il, fis-je, répondit-il, with an abandon that is almost shocking today. It was Marmontel, I think, who had the habit to suppress them and to mark conversations by paragraphs and dashes.] VI.C.15.264(g) (d) s’emporta-t-il Note: Fr. S’emporta-t-il. He raged. The inversion of the subject is characteristic of an embedded clause. See (b). Les Soirées 244: Il arrive aussi que les verbes trop longs, mis en incise, soient cacophoniques. Songez qu’il y a pléthore de verbes de la première conjugaison, qui risquent d’envahir les autres. D’où ces horreurs: s’emporta-t-elle, lamenta-t-il. On dirait des noms de produits chimiques! [It also happens that verbs that are too long, when used in an embedded clause, become cacophonic. Especially when there is a plethora of words of the first conjugation, which risk to invade the others. Thus horrors like: s’emporta-t- elle, lamenta-t-il. They sound like the names of chemical products!] VI.C.15.264(h) (e) Fr. anti-verb Les Soirées 245: Le français, en effet, répugne à faire porter aucun accent sur le verbe.
