Résumé anglais From the 17th to the 20th centuries, the interpretation of comme P ( “ how S ”) in argumental position related to savoir ( “ to know ”) has changed : such sentences initially interpreted with an interrogative meaning acquire an exclamative interpretation in the 19th century. This evolution is correlated with the value of the main clause on the one hand, and of the embedded one on the other. The latter is examined in this paper. It is shown that there is a change in the lexical categorie of the items comme is depending on, but that scalarity is not sufficient to explain differences between interrogative and exclamative meanings.
