Domaine(s)
  • Linguistique (Généralités)
CONT

Leur description du français, assez fouillée, au moins dans certaines de ses parties, tient donc compte de la double articulation; elle porte d'abord sur la phonologie et la phonétique; avec d'intéressantes comparaisons entre le système français et ceux d'autres idiomes (arabe, espagnol, mais aussi gascon), ensuite sur les éléments porteurs de sens, dont l'étude constitue la "monématique" (...)

OBS

Dans la théorie de Martinet, le monème peut être rapproché de ce que la linguistique distributionnelle appelle le morphème (au sens américain du terme, non limité aux monèmes grammaticaux).
