Traces the development of French "grammatical analysis" and "logical analysis," from the 16th century concept of syntax, to 19th century pedagogy. (AM)

Analyzes "possessive" reflexives in French, within the framework of a generative grammar approach. A list of examples is appended. (AM)

Discusses French morphology and shows that the rules at this level of linguistic analysis are particularly susceptible to having exceptions. The irregularities are grouped into three types: 1) idiosyncrasies, 2) accidental gaps, and 3) the existence of non-productive processes. (Text is in French.) (TL)

The nature of the system of linguistic entities of a natural language is examined. The purpose is to define the relation between "le lexique" and an overall linguistic theory, the relation between form and meaning. (Text is in French.) (TL)

Describes the use of some determiners in French and shows how their syntactic and semantic roles are interrelated. (Text is in French.) (TL)

Demonstrates the syntactic and semantic similarities between French nominal expressions with "faire," and attempts to establish a relationship between these expressions and related nominals independent of "faire." (AM)

Presents a functional description of punctuation as a delimiter of words, sentences, and paragraphs, and as a semantic and extralinguistic indicator. (AM)

Proposes a semantic theory with applications to performatives, speech acts, and pragmatic theory. (AM)

Analyzes the distribution of information in so-called "synonymous" sentences in the context of a semantic perspective. (AM)

Demonstrates the role of punctuation in relation to the syntax, communicative value, and semantics of the French sentence. (AM)

Presents results of a survey carried out in 1977 to determine the attitude of contemporary French writers toward the importance of punctuation. Questionnaire responses, obtained from over half the 80 authors polled, are discussed. (AM)

Examines the structure of negation in questions in French, in particular the interrogative form containing a negative but expecting a positive response. (AM)

The aim of this article is to show the interaction between syntax and semantics. A question-answer environment, where the answer is composed of an adverbial, is used to demonstrate the interaction. (Text is in French.) (TL)

Analyzes the structure of French distributive complements, including the formal and semantic similarities and differences among them. (AM)

A panel discussion on sociology and language which leads one to think that a relationship between linguistics and sociolinguistics could be effected if linguists would consent to move toward a situation in which linguistics and sociolinguistics would establish a definite bond with sociology. (Text is in French.) (AMH)
