2019. Répondre présent/absent: Histoire d’ un couple de locutions attributives délocutives. Revue Romane 54:2, pp. 278–299
This paper offers a diachronic analysis of a pair of subject complement constructions (répondre présent/absent: litt. ‘to answer “present”/“absent”) originating from quotative expressions. It shows how they lexicalized into fixed expressions denoting a routinized “delocutive” (Benveniste) procedure… read more | Article
2016. Les pluriels lexicaux dits « massifs » face au conditionneur universel. Lexical plurals and beyond, Lauwers, Peter and Marie Lammert (eds.), pp. 272–288
Cette contribution s’intéresse aux pluriels lexicaux en français. Elle montre que les pluriels lexicaux sont toujours dans la portée de dérivations ultérieures qui restaurent le statut [+ comptable], comme cela ressort notamment de la présence de déterminants indéfinis fortement individualisants.… read more | Article

This article deals with French constructions such as sous l’emprise de (‘under the influence of’), which have been called locutions prépositives (complex prepositions) in the French linguistic tradition. Putting the issue of lexicalization aside, I establish regular complex form-meaning patterns (i. read more | Article
2014. Between adjective and noun: Category/function mismatch, constructional overrides and coercion. Word Classes: Nature, typology and representations, Simone, Raffaele and Francesca Masini (eds.), pp. 203–226
This contribution examines the issue of non-canonical usages of lexical items in French, which, as a result of their use in a construction typical of another word class than the one they are usually associated with, exhibit mixed word class properties. Starting from two case-studies:

2012. Le prix est (de) 15 euros: On copular constructions expressing quantification in French. Constructions in French, Bouveret, Myriam and Dominique Legallois (eds.), pp. 233–256
The status of copular constructions expressing quantification, such as “le prix est (de) 15 euros) is examined with respect to prototypical specificational constructions (Le prix est quinze euros) and to predicational constructions involving quantification. It appears that the copular construction… read more | Article

This paper offers a corpus-based study of two evidential (semi-)copular verbs in French. It deals with their degree of synonymy and the extent to which they are grammaticalized as semi-copulas. First, the study of subcategorization and semantic restrictions of both the direct and indirect (marked)… read more | Article

2002. La notion de ‘test syntaxique’ dans les grammaires de la première moitié du 20e siècle. Lingvisticæ Investigationes 25:1, pp. 49–70
Summary Since the dawn of structuralism and generativism, linguists have not ceased to criticize a lack of scientific rigour in «traditional» grammar. Nowadays, the scientific character of syntax crucially depends on the use of syntactic tests. It appears, however, that this concept was not… read more | Article
