Résumé anglais Although there exist two series of tonic and atonic personal pronouns in French as in Polish, their usage is different even if grammars do not provide clear rules for this. Within the family of slavonic languages, Polish, in which new atonic forms have been created over time, differs considerably from russian which in its contemporary state has lost the opposition between atonic and tonic forms inherited from Protoslavic. However in the recent evolution of contemporary Polish, we observe a confusion in the uses of the tonic and atonic forms of the 1st person singular pronouns (mi/ mnie). In order to explain the use of these two series of pronouns which are presented merely as two position variants in grammars, we rely on the Meta-Informative centering theory (MIc) distinguishing clearly between base and extended utterances on the basis of the meta-informative (old or new) status of the utterances and/ or its parts. the use of the tonic forms corresponds to an extended utterance, i. e. to an expressive utterance from the point of view of the opposition between one part referring to “ old” information and one part referring to “ new” information. Moreover, in the MIc theory, it is possible to distinguish easily topic from focus on the basis of their respective meta-informative old or new status. In this theoretical framework the use of atonic forms in Polish (which can be zero forms in the nominative case, not to be confused with ellipsis which also exists in russian) is systematically compared to russian and French, including the position of the subject pronoun before or after the verb. generally speaking, the use of pronouns provides evidence for the fact that pragmatic constraints find direct expression in morphology and syntax.
