Abstract
Here we conduct a detailed study of the value of two different discourse markers (cela dit and ceci dit) from their first appearance in the French language until now. We also carry out an investigation on the possible parallelisms of the usages of these markers with the usages of the indexical adverbs at their origins (ici and là). To accomplish these goals, we review the evolution of the French system of indexical adverbs and the historical changes that they have undergone.
