Summary/Abstract: In this research, we propose to analyze the phenomenon of “word repetition” which is realized in the discursive exchange in contemporary spoken French. This will involve the repetitions of grammatical words that Morel and Danon-Boileau (1998) define as “functional words” (fr. mots outils) under the spontaneous oral French. The main objective of this research is to find answers to the following questions, and thus to highlight the salient points of this discursive fact which is repetition of functional words (word tools): a) What is the enunciative status of the phenomenon of repetition in verbal interaction? b) In which situation of enunciation the speaker uses the repetition?
