        The nature, history, and transformation of the American sentence in twentieth-century American fiction is the focus of this article, which examines the shift from the oracular to ordinary style, the contrast between James and Hemingway, or Thomas Wolfe and Cormac McCarthy. Examples of twentieth-century writers include Gertrude Stein, William Faulkner, J.D. Salinger, Thomas Pynchon, Cormac McCarthy, and Jennifer Eagan. Overlooked, the sentence remains the core of literary expression, but it is a problematic form associated with such cultural changes as the telegraph, World War II, and crime writing, as much as the literary imagination.
        La nature, l'histoire et la transformation de la phrase dans la fiction étatsunienne du XXe siècle sont au cœur de cet article, qui étudie la transition entre le style sentencieux et le style ordinaire, le contraste entre James et Hemingway, ou entre Thomas Wolfe et Cormac McCarthy. Les exemples tirés d'œuvres du XXe siècle proviennent de Gertrude Stein, de William Faulkner, de J.D. Salinger, de Thomas Pynchon, de Cormac McCarthy et de Jennifer Eagan. Négligée, la phrase demeure pourtant au cœur de l'expression littéraire ; mais il s'agit d'une forme problématique, liée autant à des bouleversements culturels comme l'invention du télégraphe, la Deuxième Guerre mondiale et l'écriture de romans policiers qu'à imagination littéraire.
