  Abstract:  The Evolution of the Demonstrative System from Classical Latin to Modern French. My study analyses the diachronic evolution of the demonstrative system from Classical Latin to Modern French, highlighting the systemic nature of the successive changes. One of the important phenomena that I observe here regards its gradual loss in the interlocutionary relation. In order to explain it and give it a coherent systemic interpretation, I resort to the concept of deflexion first defined by G. Guillaume (2004 [1954-1958]) and R. Lowe (2007), and later coherently demarcated by L. Begioni & A. Rocchetti (2010).

Keywords: The demonstrative, Classical Latin, Modern French, person, deflexion
