“…D. Gil 1996) and within one language (e.g. C. Benninger 2001). Lack of space prevents me from going into detail on the numerous definitions that have been given to the term collective noun (see F. Joosten 2003a); a basic distinction between two general definitorial tendencies, however, can be briefly resumed.…”

‘Part of’ and ‘kind of’ relations in the lexicon have been matter of some linguistic research, but strangely enough, they have only rarely been investigated together. Strangely, since ‘part of’ and ‘kind of’ appear to be similar in a number of respects, and since nouns such asfurnitureorbétailcombine both ‘part of’ and ‘kind of’ readings. As a consequence, linguistic terminology in this specific domain has been lacking in uniformity and transparency. This article aims to bring terminological clarity: it offers a rough survey of the entire ‘part of/kind of’ spectrum and pleads for an unambiguous linguistic metalanguage that distinguishes between collectivenouns(e.g.team),aggregate nouns(e.g.furniture), andsuperordinates(e.g.vehicle). Arguments for the terminological distinctions proposed can be found in a thorough investigation of lexical form-meaning relationships.

“…There have not been that many detailed (contrastive) studies on SN constructions (but see Buvet 1993, Benninger 2001, Foolen 2004and Brems & Verveckken 2008. The present paper takes a contrastive perspective, hitherto under-researched, the central question being Smet 2009) and Frantext (FT), as well as parallel corpora, it will be argued that they show the same range of meanings, though to different extents and in different ways.…”

Some binominal size noun constructions in English and French: a contrastive corpus-based perspective

This paper compares binominal size noun constructions in English and French from a contrastive perspective based on analysis of parallel and monolingual corpus data. It is argued that, even though there are structural similarities between the constructions in both languages, there are differences in the frequency of their use and constructional equivalence is only partial. There are differences in terms of premodification potential, which can be explained by typological differences between the two languages. Another difference lies in the formal reflexes and agreement features, which is again in keeping with the typological profiles of both languages. Translation equivalence is also typically only partial and depends on the use (e.g. quantifier versus head use).

“…l'hylémorphisme (Simondon, 2005), qui renvoie au rapport entre matière et objet (par exemple bois/table), et qui est donc tout à fait caractéristique des entités matérielles (par exemple Van de Velde, 1995, Benninger, 2001, Huyghe, 2009). …”
