| Résumé anglais |
During the 1 7th century, the two negative words pas and point begin to be used exactly as they are now in Modern French. But beyond the appearance of an identical use in the two terms negation of French since that period of time, it remains in the beginning of the 17th century survivals of older values of these two words, and the semantic value of the two negative markers ne and pas, point is not the same as now: ne had still a strong negative value. On the contrary, pas and point maintained some remnants of older, non fully negative, values: that of a "semi-negation", word associated with negation like personne, jamais, allowing negative concord; and that of a negative polarity item, dissociated from the syntactic combination with ne. These values, which disappeared in standard French during that period, marginally survived for a long time in popular or dialectal French. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
