Summary/Abstract: This article is interested in the peculiarities of temporality in the construction of titles of technical texts, by the analysis of the verbal forms present in the constituted corpus. The objective of the research is to show the relationship between temporality and determination, quantitative and qualitative, and to highlight the operators who exert linguistic constraints on the interpretation of the meaning of the statements examined. The article is structured in three sections. The first section reviews the operational notions relating to temporality in relation to the notion of determination while focusing on the particularities of temporality in technical texts and aims to delimit the characteristics of the titles of press texts. The second section describes the content of the approach and describes the corpus. The third section presents the results of the analysis of the verbal forms which enter into the composition of the titles of the selected technical texts, in relation to the notions of determination and temporality.
