Abstract
Claire Badiou-Nonferran : Négation et coordination en français classique : le morphème ni dans tous ses états In classical French, conjunctive ni, which can be equally written ni ou ny (but no more ne), is no more — as it was in medieval French — a "conjunction of virtually" appearing in "not entirely affirmative contexts" (like affirmative interrogative clauses, or affirmative comparative clauses of superiority, in particular). Ni is not yet — as it is in contemporary French — a "negative forclusive conjunction" exclusively linked to ne. It works as an argumentative connector, organizing into a hierarchy of increasing relevance the connected sequences when it appears as a single ni, and giving this connected sequences as argumentatively equivalents when it appears as ni... ni (polysyndetic conjunction).
