Sažetak
Guillaume (1883 – 1960), in his first book, The Problem of the Article and its Solution in the French Language, published in 1919, immediately recognized the importance of the protagonists of discourse otherwise absent or marginalized in the linguistic research of the first half of the twentieth century. The presence, choice or absence of the article ensures the transition from the abstract virtuality of the lexeme to the different degrees of actualization of the noun as a part of the utterance. Speakers of languages that do not use articles have greater difficulty in mastering the use of articles in French syntactic structures. Even languages that do have articles differ from one another in their use. Therefore, the student who already has a good command of articles in English does not automatically have a good command of articles in French. This paper focuses on discursive values in the use of articles in French and aims to show that the presentation of articles can approach the targeted readership by taking into account the enunciator and co-enunciator and by contextualizing the whole process with regard to the student’s first language, in our case Croatian.
