Résumé anglais We analyse the French noun livre « book » according to an argumentative conception of language. A summary is presented of the theories of Anscombre (Theory of stereotypes) and of Carel and Ducrot (Theory of semantic blocks), which are used to reveal the argumentative dimensions of livre. Argumentation is argued to derive from a common sense system (Sarfati) leading to the ascription of doxa in language governed by a topoï-based device, which corresponds to discursive object. Semiotisation is supported by phenomenological processes : the Indexicality of meaning (Lebas 1999, Cadiot and Visetti 2001) is concerned at the Linguistic level with the construction of semantic forms along three dimensions of meaning, known in the Theory of semantic forms as motifs, profiles, and themes. The contributions of the discursive levels to the constitution of a semantic form are raised in view of the phenomenon of lexical anticipation. What we call “inserted motifs” reveals the genericity of Discursive Formations. In the course of “profiling”, these motifs constitute a pre-syntactic zone of stabilisation. The “doxic profiles” allows the construction of topoï by thematisation.
