Alfred de Vigny et le monde des signes Les deux parts du sens et la rencontre avec son lecteur

This paper aims to demonstrate the novelty of the ­conception of signs that Vigny developped through his whole litterary experience. Deeply involved in the criticism mainstream of the XIX^th century language theories, Vigny proves to be not only the poet of the symbols, but also, and may be above all, the precursor of the semiological revolution that gave birth to the modern and ­contemporary French poetry.
