In the present paper “Similarities between Comparative and Exclamative Degree Markers: French ce and Spanish lo”, we first analyse the so-called pseudo-relativized phrasal comparative construction X que ce que P in French and X de lo que P in Spanish. We after compare the pseudo-relativized phrasal… read more
The aim of this paper “La comparative relative X que ce que P et son homonyme en français : contextes d’apparition et emploi en corpus” is an analysis of the so-called relativized phrasal comparative construction X que ce que P, in French vs. frequently used in another romance languages. In fact,… read more
SummaryIn this paper, we present a unified hypothesis about «focusing» conjunctional adverbs and subordinating conjunctions in French. A similar hypothesis is to be taken to hold at all romance languages as we argue after Piot (2003) mentioned above. At first, differences are to be observed… read more

In this paper, we reject the usual definition of même si (even if) as single conjunction and meaning as 'concessive' one. Même si share similar syntactico-semantic properties with 'conditional', but not 'concessive', (class of) conjunctions. In fact, même si is a conjunctive phrase including the si… read more
We present a syntactic analysis of the French “double conjunctions” class, which contains ninety one items: some of them are subordinating items, and in majority coordinating items. We analyse their specific syntactic properties by means of the “parallelism constraints” (see Z. S. Harris (1968)),… read more

We explore in this article the syntactic criteria used to classify most French connectors. We have defined three main classes: - the first main class contains subordinating conjunctions (Conjs) subdivided into eight subclasses corresponding to various syntactic-semantic properties; - the second… read more
We examine here several constructions that are characteristic of a subclass of French subordinating conjunctions termed "consecutive", e.g. à tel point que, tellement que, etc. In some of these constructions, the conjunction alone ( without the subordinate clause introduced by que) can be permuted… read more
