Summary/Abstract: Defrozeness and the modifications it brings to a predicative scheme in a frame of functional linguistics are subjects to many formal linguistic researches. While the three primary functions — predicate, argument and determiner — abide by some predicative scheme, incomplete lexical constructions caused by defrozeness require reconstruction of schemes. However, the reconstruction process is somehow conditioned. The study of a corpus shows that permutations of the primary functions depend on textual and contextual conditions. Different predicative schemes can be thus established in relation to the interpretations of each contextualized defronzened sequence.
