L’intensification verbale et les énoncés à parangon
Verbal intensification and enunciations containing a feature’s pattern

Summary/Abstract: The present paper describes verbal intensifying constructions built according to the scheme (à faire) V de N, where a given feature is additionally reinforced by alluding to its typical bearer as the agent/experiencer of the verbal and of the noun predicate. Basing on a corpus of enunciations in which the above described scheme is used, the Author proposes a classification of the features’ bearers, and states the factors which determine the choice of the respective elements of the analyzed construction.
