Abstract
Gilles Philippe : « The Linguistic and/or Philosophical Status of / : apropos of Being and Nothingness » A precise linguistic study of deictic morphemes in Being and Nothingness brings to light two modes of enunciation which structure the text : the first refers to the effective scene of enunciation, while the second constitutes a non-specified reference. The object of this study is the second mode, which is often that of the text's narrative sequences ; in it, there would seem to be both an identification with and a generalization of the /. However its status can only be defined by taking Sartre's philosophy into account : the / would in fact figure the scene of an ideal, reflexive consciousness, and therefore, the second mode of enunciation can only be explained from within the overall problematics of phenomenological writing's effort to render the real as pure perceptum.
