Ce message pour vous annoncer le d\u00e9c\u00e8s, survenu le 12 ao\u00fbt 2026, du grand linguiste, s\u00e9manticien, Bernard POTTIER.<\/span><\/p>\n

Il fut de ceux qui, avec Andr\u00e9 Martinet, \u00c9mile Benveniste, Jean Dubois, Jean-Claude Chevalier, Algirdas Greimas, Oswald Ducrot, introduisirent et anim\u00e8rent la linguistique structurale \u00e0 partir des ann\u00e9es soixante-soixante-dix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Il cr\u00e9a et d\u00e9veloppa des mod\u00e8les d’analyse s\u00e9mantique dans le domaine lexical (analyse s\u00e9mique) et grammatical (dans la lign\u00e9e du guillaumisme) dont on continue de s’inspirer. A la fois romaniste, hispaniste, am\u00e9ricaniste, il \u0153uvra en linguistique g\u00e9n\u00e9rale comme s\u00e9manticien. Parall\u00e8lement, il promut et d\u00e9fendit les \u00e9tudes sur les langues am\u00e9rindiennes en fondant les Travaux de l’Institut latino-am\u00e9ricain de Strasbourg<\/em> (TILAS), puis en dirigeant au CNRS le Centre d’ethnolinguistique am\u00e9rindienne. Son action dans ces divers domaines fut d’autant plus efficace qu’il contribua \u00e0 organiser institutionnellement la recherche linguistique fran\u00e7aise, lorsqu’il exer\u00e7a, de 1972 \u00e0 1976, la direction scientifique des sciences humaines au CNRS.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ce fut un linguiste cr\u00e9ateur, inventeur. Il ne fut pas adepte d\u2019une \u00e9cole, et lui-m\u00eame ne se consid\u00e9rait pas repr\u00e9sentant d’une \u00e9cole. Il puisait dans toutes les bibliographies pour s\u2019y enrichir, pour approfondir ou discuter des concepts. Et il faut pr\u00e9ciser, que, toujours attentionn\u00e9 et bienveillant envers ses \u00e9l\u00e8ves, il savait \u00e9tablir des liens amicaux faisant que le travail de recherche en sa compagnie \u00e9tait un moment de plaisir.<\/span><\/p>\n
