Abstract

Marie José Beguelin : Demonstrative noun-phrases in La Fontaine's Fables. This study brings to light a set of writing habits related to the use of demonstrative noun phrases in La Fontaine's poetry and tries to account for their major stylistic effects. A close observation of word selection in such phrases gives a good opportunity to describe, in a literary text, the (re)categorisation of referents in and through discourse.
