Les notions de centre et de périphérie dans la caractérisation des unités linguistiquesFrench

The notions of centre and periphery in the characterization of linguistic units

This study aims to characterize the concepts of centre and periphery with regard to different linguistic levels, phonemes, morphemes, "synthemes" and grammatical relations, from a double viewpoint, systemic relations/use, through various criteria, integration, distribution, information, etc. The distinction centre/periphery is briefly related to the dynamics of language development. As a conclusion, the correlative concepts of centre and periphery cannot be defined as an absolute distinction, but as a variable and gradual one, which requires to be reconsidered in each situation where it is used.

Keywords: centre; periphery; linguistic units; dynamics of language development
