Abstract

Bruneau succeeded Brunot at the Sorbonne as chair of ‘History of French language.’ Working on local dialects he participated to the ‘Archives de la parole.’ He gathered recordings that he filed following the Viennese ‘Phonogrammarchiv.’ He contributed to Ferdinand Brunot's monumental Histoire de la langue francaise des origines a nos jours by writing ‘L'Epoque romantique’ (covering the period 1815 to 1852) and ‘L'Epoque realiste’ (covering the period 1852 to 1886). He made a distinction between pure (or scientific) stylistics, and stylistics applied to literature (or authors' stylistics), the former being part of language science.
