Claire BlANCHE-BenveniSTE : « Three remarks on word order in spoken French » To study word order in spoken French, it is necessary to distinguish between two levels : 1° word order as actualised in the process of enunciation, with its repetitions and hesitations, 2° the grammatical order of phrases, which is an abstract reconstruction. Some types of phrase order are more frequent in spoken than in written French ; this is the case of the structure in which a complement comes before its verb, which is particularly frequent in French in spite of what traditional French grammarians lead us to believe. In this position, the complement is strongly focalised and has particular semantic and syntactic properties which bring about a contrast with the phrase coming after the verb. French speakers often use this double possibility in the form of structural chiasmus.
