  Abstract:  The notion of area and the function of the article. Gustave Guillaume proposed a linguistic theory that classified languages into three groups according to the space or area attibuted to the word in its transition from language to discourse. We will attempt to better understand the importance given by Guillaume to the idea of area by comparing the French article and the Bantu classifier. The article intervenes during the noun''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s transition from language to discourse. The use of the article infers two movements. The first is horizontal (U1→1S2→U2), and the second vertical (interception of the first motion). The problem that interests us is the construction of the area within which the article functions.

Keywords : area, French article, Bantu classifier, word, langage / discourse
