Summary/Abstract: The article aims at highlighting the valency of the different “meta” marquers of a literary work initially prohibited in the totalitarian regime. Studied from the point of view of their orthography, phonology, morphology, lexicology, semantics and pragmatics, the “meta” marquers reveal their inner referential capacity for providing the necessary clarifications both in the cultural spaces the novel evokes and in those to which it addresses.
