Abstract
A method for encoding and decoding a sequence of words, corresponding signal, encoder, decoder, computer programs and storage means. A method for encoding a sequence of source words includes a step of selecting an encoding function to be applied to a source word to be encoded as a function of the content of the word to be encoded and of at least one preceding source word in the sequence so that the concatenation of two consecutive encoded words has no binary element, called an isolated binary element, sandwiched between two binary elements with a value different from that of the isolated binary element. The method further includes a step of encoding the word to be encoded implementing the selected encoding function.
