Déictiques spatio-temporels en breton central

Abstract

In central Breton as well as in spontaneous Breton in general, space and time deictis are chrystal-clear marks of the geographical origin of speakers as well as a testimony of the quality of their expression in the frame of the theory of enunciation. They are situated at the junction between dialectal variation and colloquial Breton as it has developped in the new current orality (media, schooling...). Relying on a huge corpus, both spoken and written, the author illustrates these characteristics of the Breton language at the end of the twentieth century.
