Eléments pour décrire la polysémie des unités syntaxiques : la construction transitive directe prototypique en français
Elements to Describe the Polysemy of the Syntactic Elements: the Prototypical Direct Transitive Construction

Summary/Abstract: This study tackles the problem of the polysemy of two syntactic functions, subject and object, in the framework of a precise syntactic construction, where the terms of transformation/ creation may seem sufficient to describe its semantism. In fact, we deal with another kind of situation where finer distinctions can be operated concerning the semantism of the two elements, taking into account their syntactic behaviour. This study proposes a type of approach and deals with its most representative cases. It also suggests an illustration of the important role phrasal grammar can play in textual grammar: the former allows us access to the latter.
