Théorie et pratique de la segmentation graphique dans les textes français du premier tiers du XVIe siècle

S. Baddeley: « Theory and practice of graphic segmentation in the 16th Century » This article sets out to examine the practices of printers in the early 16th Century, concerning the writing of elements which were elided orally, and which could either be written as two separate elements (e.g. le homme) or as a single graphic form (lhomme). The choice of one or the other form appears to have depended on various factors : the grammatical category of the terms in question (some groups, such as article + noun, are more frequently written as a single form than others), the « graphic environment » (use of capitals, of aspirate/non-aspirate h, positional variants...), or on the type of text : in texts in verse, more care was taken to use spellings closer to the spoken language. The treatment of elisions also depends to a large extent on the printer, and on his experience of the French language. Many of these features had already been pointed out by the grammarian Palsgrave, to whose 1530 grammar we refer
