| Résumé anglais |
Two kinds of coordinate structures can be distinguished in French according to the distribution of conjunctions. In simplex coordinations, the conjunction introduces the last conjunct and optionally appears before non-initial conjuncts (Paul (et) Jean et Marie) while in correlative coordinations, which are the focus of this paper, the conjunction appears before each conjunct, including the first one (et Paul *(et) Jean et Marie). We present arguments against asymmetric analyses according to which the initial conjunction should be analyzed as an adverb (more precisely focus-sensitive adverbs), homonymous with the conjunction and adjoined to the coordinate phrase. Instead, we adopt a construction-based variant of the symmetric analysis according to which each conjunct is introduced by one and the same conjunction. We couch our analysis in the phrase structure grammar HPSG. We assume [conj X] phrases to be head-complement-constructions while coordinate structures are a type of non-headed construction. We define two subtypes of coordinations to account for the distribution and specific properties of simplex and correlative constructions. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
