  11. The manually ordered groupings are on file in the Department of French, The Pennsylvania State University. Future applications of the matrix would, of course, use several independent encodings in order to reify what is here offered as a developmental approach. Cf. J.-P. Desclés, “Systèmes énonciatifs et analyse et données textuelles,”Etudes littéraires, décembre 1977, 455–499: “On sait bien analyser les phrases par des méthodes taxonomiques, mais on ne sait pas analyser et reproduire le processus par lequel l'énonciateur constitue un énoncé muni de valeurs référentielles (p. 457).”

  12. See M. Bal, “Narration et focalisation: Pour une théorie des instances du récit,”Poétique 29 (1977), 107–127: “Dans un récit à la première personne. . . le héros ne se laisse pas identifier au narrateur parce que le moment où il écrit ses aventures n'est jamais celui où il les vit (p. 109).”

  13. Further analysis of Hélisenne's regression vocabulary comparing cross-sexual traits (i.e., co-occurrences of male/female themes with male/female roles) as suggested by Martindale, pp. 169–172et seq., would refine the present profile. Since Martindale postulates that depth of regression co-occurs with frequency of regression vocabulary (p. 190), an analysis of cross-sexuality in our Partitions A and B would characterize Hélisenne's regressive preferences as cognitive or unconscious.

  14. At present I am processing (with R. Hackel) a four-cell matrix using randomly selected excerpts from LeSage'sGil Blas in order to observe the behavior of axial parameters in the three chonological segments of the novel.
