The book series Études de linguistique française (ELF), published under the auspices of Institut de Linguistique Française (ILF), presents high-quality research contributions on the French language in both a diachronic and a synchronic perspective. The series aims to cover different fields of current linguistic research, focusing on written as well as on spoken French.

Exiled in the United States during the Second World War, linguist Roman Jakobson gave a series of lectures at the École Libre des Hautes Études in New York. These classes – attended among others by Claude Lévi-Strauss – had a major impact on contemporary human sciences. This book reconstructs and analyzes this momentous corpus. It also contains a critical edition of four previously unpublished lectures given by Jakobson in 1942–1943.
This volume is devoted to the question of speech representation, as seen through the lens of four fields of linguistics: epistemology, phonology, the study of inner speech and oral corpora. While the representation of speech is at the heart of the linguist's work, the specificity of the book is to explore this fundamental dimension drawing on research work from the different fields.
This book offers a general model of reported speech that relies on clear, well-argued theoretical choices in order to describe accurately the diversity of observed situations. The metalanguage/alterity articulation is critically discussed at various levels (language, discourse, subject) where a central function of differential auto-configuration takes place.
This study proposes an ambitious typology of the written representation of oral speech. It is based on a detailed semiological examination of the relationship between orality and literacy as well as on an analysis of data stemming from literary discourse. Three types of representation of orality are distinguished, where the written form appeals to the phonographic system, the metalinguistic semantics or the prosodic performance of the reader.
Cet ouvrage s’attache, au moyen d’une analyse épistémologique minutieuse d’une part significative du corpus benvenistien, à mettre en évidence une spécificité remarquable de la linguistique benvenistienne, qui rend l’impasse à laquelle elle conduit tout particulièrement digne de réflexion: d’être tout à la fois présaussurienne lorsqu’il s’agit de linguistique générale et éminemment saussurienne dans son versant idiomologique.
This study undertakes a detailed epistemological analysis of a large section of Benveniste’s writings in order to illustrate some remarkable features of his linguistic work which is at the same time pre-Saussurean, inasmuch as it constitutes a theory in general linguistics, and decidedly Saussurean because of its idiomological elements
This volume presents a series of critical essays on the accentuation, rhythm, and intonation of contemporary French which offer new insight into the formal and functional characteristics of French prosody from three different perspectives (historical, epistemological, descriptive). These properties are interpreted in the context of the latest international research into the prosody of languages.
