| Résumé anglais |
Adjectives like former, used in a strictly adnominal position, are deprived of the properties of predicative adjectives with a qualifying meaning, namely gradability and an attributive construction : This is his former house. These adjectives are numerous and semantically diverse. They can be used with abstract predicative nouns as well as concrete nouns. The adjectives of this class have a particular syntax. They can be analyzed as adverbs whose scope is a complete predicate, situated in a relative clause outside the noun phrase where they occur. For example, the exact scope of former is not the house, but the relation expressed by a sentence, He had a house. Theoretically, the interpretation of such adjectives and our analysis lead to question the usual view of noun phrases as compact syntactic and semantic blocks. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
