Elements for the diachronic study of French honorifics : monsieur, monseigneur, milord. This article focuses on the diachronic study ofthe French series of honorifics composed by the possessive adjective and a title (as in monseigneur). It first questions the morphological regularity ofthe whole series (comparing the masculine forms with the feminine nouns madame and mademoiselle) and their syntactical properties, in particular regarding the adjunction of articles (le monsieur I *la madame). It then concentrates on the masculine series (monsieur, monseigneur and milord) in order to underline how enunciative and pragmatic parameters seem to have govemed its development during the middle ages : our hypothsesis is that the early possibility for those titles of respect (with the article) to show axiological judgements is linked to their use within the curial style and the anaphorical article ledit.
