Pour une autobiographie linguistique critique

Naissance du désir, naissance de la langue

Résumé

At first we wonder if a linguistic autobiography is likely to be a valid document. Linguistic autobiography needs the notion of language to be put apart from language practices. Family biography, as well as individual, consists mainly in linguistic ideas about language practices, that’s why true story-telling is difficult. Historical perspective helps to put the individual linguistic history in a social linguistic history. So experience may take sense in history, often using linguistic insecurity as a telling detail.
