Résumé anglais General grammar and generative grammar. Can one consider as Chomsky suggests that the general grammar of Port-Royal is fore-runner of ge nerative grammar? To resolve this problem one must compare work with the texts that it pro pounds to explain. In consequence one can see that Chomsky based this work only on those chosen exam ples for which the two grammars give the same results. Taking into consideration all the chapters of the works of Port-Royal in question, one is led to believe that they obey other principles than those of generative grammar since they do not originated in formal analysis. There may therefore exist Cartesian linguistics but it can not be considered an ancestor of Chomsky's work.
