Three very significant books for understanding the system of the French language affirm the im-portance of the category of the person by hardly mentioning it. Tesniere’s famous sentence Alfred parle. is a typical example. Tesniere himself sees three elements in it: S, P, and “connection”. This connection would only be recognized much later as the category of the person. Moignet, in his Systématique de la langue française, makes almost no mention of the term person, even though it appears three times in the table of the system of parts of speech.Finally, Baylon and Fabre (1978), speaking of substantive actualizers, state that “the demon-strative adjective represents the most complete point of realisation”, concluding that “localisation then becomes a realisation, a determination”. The person is secondary.In our work, we will try to show that the person plays a decisive role in the system of parts of speech, in the relationship between the Subject and the Predicate, and in the process of determining the noun, where the noun is defined in relation to space, which in turn depends on the person (of the speaking subject), i.e. the “I”.
