Summary/Abstract: This article argues for a true dialogue between linguists and literary researchers, given the progressive strengthening of the links between text sciences. The arguments in this regard are: the length of the relationship between language studies and literary studies, consolidated through the stylistics; the impact of enunciation theories on the literary text approach; the Scandinavian theory of linguistic polyphony, result of a fruitful collaboration between linguists and literary researchers; Emile Benveniste’s work on the language of Baudelaire, outline of a poetic language theory; the development, after 1970, of text linguistics and pragmatics and the decisive impulse it gives to linguistic studies of the literary text; literary discourse analysis and the renewal of the relationship between language and literature. In the spirit of ideas launched by renowned linguists and sociologists, the author concludes that the complementarity of interpretive activities on textual facts requires the strengthening of interdisciplinary dialogue in order to put an end to institutional divisions that separate humanities, social sciences and communication sciences.
