description This article retraces the history of the glossolalic phenomenon. Chronologically, the term glossolalia first referred to a religious phenomenon, which is still present today in a number of charismatic movements throughout the world. Then, in the second half of the XIXth century, the term came to designate a pathological phenomenon. Such a shift in the value and signification of glossolalia occurred at the time of the development of, on the one hand, rationalism and positivism and, on the other hand, occultism and spiritism. The purpose of the present article is to retrace the history of these two traditions (religious and psychopathological) to which glossolalia belongs, in order to grasp better the strategies and the stakes of the poetic experiments which, from the early XXth century avant-gardes up to the present, have used glossopoiesis in their attempts to liberate the word from its referentiality.
