Abstract

An unpublished translation of one of the works of Eugenio Coseriu (1980) is offered. It is a historiographic chapter that seeks to scrutinize the syntactic representation schemes of sentences, called stemmas. One can thus glimpse a whole work of historical tracing that seeks to refer to the predecessors of this type of syntactic models, attributed to Tesnière (1934) and to some American structuralists such as Bloomfield, Nida and Hockett from 1940. Coseriu would then present Heimann Hariton Tiktin, a German philologist, who would have proposed in 1883 a type of representation based on a model of dependencies.
