VERBES PARENTHÉTIQUES ENTRE MARTEAU (GRAMMAIRE) ET ENCLUME (PRAGMATIQUE). QUELQUES REMARQUES SUR UNE ENQUÊTE BILINGUE
PARENTHETICAL VERBS BETWEEN THE GRAMMATICAL HAMMER AND THE PRAGMATIC ANVIL: SOME REMARKS ON A BILINGUAL INQUIRY

Summary/Abstract: Parenthetical verbs between the grammatical hammer and the pragmatic anvil: some remarks on a bilingual inquiry. The present paper aims to compare the emergence of a particular class of transitive verbs occurring with a clausal complement via or without a complementizer in two different spoken corpora, one French, the other one Romanian. Called parenthetical verbs, these verbs will reveal, in both languages, that their recurrence is directly dependent on the context, as well as a panoply of discursive effects relying on the nature and on the mobility of a pronominal subject. Finally, we conclude with respect to the relevance of the parenthetical usage with a deleted complementizer to the relation between the main verb and its clausal complement, which is no longer grammatical, but pragmatic.
