| Summary: | This paper aims to highlight the importance Pierre-Yves Raccah gave to the concept of point of view, it being crucial for the internal development of semantics. Everybody has used it in its various forms, such as perspective, focalization, empathy, camera angle, primarily as a tool for dismemberment of the subject, but it was Raccah who put it in place, from the viewpoint of a discipline, independently of any cognitive or phenomenological determination. For him, the point of view is a means for scientific exploration in search of possible answers to numerous questions about language, the meaning of linguistic units and their utterance meaning effect, promising theoretical and descriptive progress at the same time. This tribute aims to boost, between legacy and ownership, his contribution to the semantic definition of point of view, keeping in mind what it is that slows down and what it is that favours the emergence of this concept in semantics.
