Résumé anglais Interior language as a brain mirror. An inquisition, its purposes, its limits In 1892, Georges Saint-Paul, a young physician, inquired into interior language. Quickly, 200 persons answered a long questionary which Saint- Paul and his master A. Lacassagne had elaborated and which was inspired by Charcot' anatomo-pathological theories. Several famous men, such as Emile Zola, responded and their auto-observations were published by newspapers. Saint-Paul thought he had discovered what he called "endophasic formulas". This paper studies the historical context and analyses how Saint-Paul tried to legitimate his investigation: if interior language was a reflection of the brain, the answers couldn't be deceitful or ambiguous, because they mirrored endophasic formulas which mirrored brain organization.
