Abstract
We analyse the -ant detached constructions at the beginning of chapters of Oudin and Rosset’s translation of Don Quixote by Cervantes (1614 and 1618), and Vaugelas’ translation of Histories of Alexander the Great by Quinte-Curce (1653). We study the role of these structures in terms of textual cohesion, coherence and connexity. We also study their specificities in relation to other forms of informational progression in the classical era, while these -ant constructions undergo a significant decrease in frequency. At last, we offer an overview of the Latin and Spanish structures that these constructions translate, in order to better understand their use in classical French.
