Abstract

The article deals with the main points of grammar of the French language in the XVII^th century which was represented by two main aspects: development of correct practical and analytical grammar. Both branches contributed to forming the social elite, drawing their material in philosophy and logic. The article analyzes the most famous researches that were focused on the classification of words within the bounds of certain parts of speech. It also mentions that with the emergence of practical grammar books, logical analysis of grammatical phenomena appears, which starts developing modern grammatical theory of the structure of statements.

REZUMAT

Articolul tratează principalele aspecte ale gramaticii limbii franceze, elaborate în secolul al XVII-lea în baza a două obiective principale: crearea unei gramatici practice corecte şi a unei gramatici analitice. Ambele tipuri de gramatică au contribuit la formarea elitei sociale şi, mai cu seamă, cea analitică, conectată cu filosofia şi logica. Articolul analizează cele mai cunoscute cercetări care s-au concentrat pe descrierea unităţilor limbii ca părți de vorbire. Se menţionează că odată cu apariţia manualelor de gramatică practică, apare şi analiza logică a fenomenelor gramaticale, ceea ce duce treptat la dezvoltarea teoriei gramaticale moderne a enunţului.
