Time is generally recognised as a ubiquitous component in the way discourse is organised: the discourse-level analysis of time has led to numerous studies, mostly focused on verb tense and temporal adverbials. The discourse role of space seems less obvious: not only is space not systematically marked in the sentence, but it does not lead in itself to any discourse relation.
Cet article explore les relations entre les propriétés lexicales d'une classe de verbes dits de déplacement et leur emploi dans la construction syntaxique transitive directe. Il s'agit plus précisément d'une étude des verbes susceptibles d'exprimer un "Evénement de Déplacement" lorsqu'ils entrent dans la construction transitive directe du type : [ SN [Léon(Cible)] SV [traverse SN [la rue (Site)]]] (cf. table 38L1 du LADL). Cette étude met au jour deux mécanismes qui sous-tendent l'établissement d'une relation de localisation dynamique. Ces mécanismes sont identifiés sur la base d'une étude lexicale prenant en compte les propriétés ontologiques des arguments. This paper explores the relationships between the lexical properties of the so-called motion verbs and their use in the direct transitive construction. We study verbs capable of denoting a motion event when they appear in the direct transitive construction : [ NP [Léon(Trajector)] VP [traverse/ is crossing NP [la rue/the street (Landmark)]]]. We describe two mechanisms underlying the establishment of a dynamic spatial relation. These mechanisms are identified from a lexical semantic study which takes into account the ontological properties of arguments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
