« Variations in Written Word Forms in the 18th Century » In the 18th Century, awareness of the written word appears to be fixed. However, this awareness is not related to contemporary theoretical definitions of the word, such as can be found in the works of Restaud, Buffier, Girard, Beauzée or Féraud. On the other hand, the actual segmentation of texts into words, as practised by some grammarians, or by a writer like the self-taught window-glass maker Menetra, may show elements of an unconscious system. We find, for instance, that some authors tend to join the definite article, or the preposition en to the following words in writing, as well as using joined forms such as delà. Moreover, some grammarians systematically use joined forms such as parconséquent, àmoins, parce que, and so on. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
