Résumé anglais The fictional works in Old and Middle French display with a particular clarity some issues raised by the interjection, while at the same time, providing their own solutions. We think about, among others, semiological (relative to the sign's arbitrariness), syntactical (phrasal freedom or constraint), or semantical questions (textual creation and stereotypes, affective or conceptual expression). In order to consider some of the issues raised by Medieval language and writing, we will work on a double corpus: the only manuscript from the 13th century which keeps the “chantefable” Aucassin et Nicolette; and the manuscript from the beginning of the 15th century which provides the best version of the Roman de Mélusine of Jean d'Arras. First we will consider the forms and functions of the interjections, in the poetics of rhythm and the building of the specific effects of dramatization in Aucassin et Nicolette. The reading of Mélusine will lead us to the study of the lexigenesis, to the sequence of writing, and therefore, to punctuation, and also to the translation of certain interjections. We surmise that these two texts will not be viewed as evidence of the evolution of a similar set of problems or of a similar interjectional form, but as illustrations of specific questions raised by two states language two centuries apart.
