The deflexivity, from Latin to Romance languages: a useful concept for the didactics ofdiachrony; examples in French and Italian

Summary/Abstract: The concept of deflexivity created by Gustave Guillaume belongs to the evolution of languages. It let us understand in a systemic way not only the different phenomena but also the equilibrium relationships among the various subsystems. This paper proposes a reflection on the contrastive deflexivityinthe nominal system and the verbal system from Latin to French and Italian. It focuses on the definite article, verbal person, their relationship to the sphere of belonging and suffixal derivation. By stressing attention on the mechanisms of redistribution (especially anteposition) morphology of Latin, it wants to provide some suggestions for teaching the diachrony of the Romance languages.
