These punctuation marks have fundamental and essential role in understanding the message the writer wants to transmit to the reader.

We presents the theoretical framework through definition of concepts and terms on which the study is based.

Concerning the conclusion, it has been dedicated to the analysis of three different texts including punctuation marks with semantic and enunciative functions.

We have chosen a literary text written by the French writer Maupassant, a journalistic text edited by Anne Guingé from the French newspaper ‘’Le Figaro’’, a translated literary text of the same writer Maupassant to the Arabic language.

Key words : Semantics, punctuation marks, énoncé, phrase, signification and meaning.
