AB - The discourse marker ‘genre’ frequently appearing in spoken discourse among French teenagers, has been discussed from various perspectives, including studies on the semantic change process of the vocabulary, analysis of the speaker's meaning and pragmatic discourse strategies revealed by this marker, and sociolinguistic perspectives focusing on distinctive language usage patterns within specific groups. This study emphazises on the diverse semantic values that ‘genre’ conveys when directly quoted in utterances. Within the domain of reported speech, we aim to provide a precise explanation of the discourse strategies in which speakers are directly or indirectly engaged, thus redefining them as performative acts of responsibility. Particularly, through a comparative examination of variation patterns found in the English direct speech marker ‘be like’, we try to shed light on emerging trends in spoken discourse from a cross-linguistic perspective. This research seeks to demonstrate that the usage of the quotation marker ‘genre’ is evolving and moving beyond normative language categorizations, which have classified it as nonstandard language usage, specific colloquial habits, or meaningless repetition. ‘Genre’ is establishing itself as a linguistic phenomenon within the quotation system, and this paper aims to elucidate its evolving role.
