Orality markers in diachrony: attempt at definition

This article aims to study orality/writing's distinction as well as trying to understand what lies underneath the way it was dealt with. This summary will allow us to bring up some difficulties relating to some of the medieval text's characteristics and to define the slight shift we would like to carry out. By making the technologic opposition the most crucial property and by instituting a systems' imaginary, we will be able to define orality markers as non-ressembling representations. This category does not represent orality because of it borrowing its features but rather because of its graphicness and alignment with this sign system's imaginary.
