Résumé anglais The treatment of examples in the large dictionaries of the second half of the 19th century (Littré, Larousse, Hatzfeld and Darmesteter) This study deals with the treatment of examples at a time dominated by what Littré calls « the desire of history », thus bringing out its relations with the aims pursued by the dictionaries' authors and with the microstructure of the articles. It attempts to specify the status of the examples in each work : the tools for glorifying the language, the illustration of the rules of its semantic evolution, etc. The comparison of these dictionaries reveals simultaneously the different facets of the language's relation to the texts, to the world and to the description of meaning.
