ISBN 9782503522807. ¶ In light of the revival of diachronic linguistics and the burgeoning attention for Middle French, the present volume brings together several papers on Middle French text linguistics. Which linguistic elements contribute to text structuring in this period ? What guarantees textual cohesion and topic continuity? The contributions in this volume set out to explore these domains, describing the use of a range of connectors, modality markers and punctuation devices, analysing the mechanisms underlying the functioning of anaphoric expressions and of topicalising and focalising constructions.
