Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the polysemy of the adverb toujours in the autofiction novels of the Belgian writer Amélie Nothomb. Originally a linguistic unit with a temporal value, toujours has recently acquired pragmatic meanings that place it among the discourse markers, without, however, removing its basic temporal value. The paper focuses on the meanings of toujours associated with the Nothombian je anchored in a particular time frame. To identify and interpret the values of the adverb in the novels making up the corpus, we have opted for a semantic and pragmatic analysis using Tropes software.
