Let f(x) be an irreducible polynomial of degree n with coefficients in a field L and r be an integer prime to the characteristic of L. The object of this paper is to describe the galois group g of f(xr) over L when the galois group G of f(x) itself over L is either the full symmetric group Snor the alternating group An. We shall call f standard if G = Sn or An with |G|>2.
