Summary/Abstract: Based upon Guirard’s (1979) and Charaudeau’s (2006) theories, this research focuses on the analysis of word play mechanisms and techniques in Frederic Dard’s novel À prendre ou à lecher. The article is structured on the classical opposition between the syntagmatic and the paradigmatic axis and on the linguistic sign components – the signifier (Sa) and the signified (Sé). Hence, it was possible to observe the complexity of word play creation techniques where several linguistic phenomena intermingle: homophony, sequence, double meaning, polysemy, homonymy, rime, and assonance.
