In this article we zoom in on the Verbs of Instrument of Communication (B. Levin 1993) in English and French and address a number of interesting issues. We examine the structural possibilities of the old and new Verbs of Instrument of Communication in comparison with one another and across the two languages. First, despite the creative uses of thes...
In this paper, the structural possibilities of well-established ‘verbs of instruments of communication’ (Levin 1993) such as
telephone
,
fax
and
telegraph
are compared with the syntactic possibilities of recent newcomers to the field such as
skype
and
blackberry
. The analysis, which is based on extensive web-based material shows that the structura...
L’objectif de cette étude est de dégager d’éventuelles différences entre l’acquisition de la morphologie verbale à l’écrit en français langue étrangère d’une part et celle à l’oral d’autre part. Nous nous sommes plus spécifiquement intéressés aux trajets que parcourent des apprenants néerlandophones dans les deux types de production, avec une atten...
This article compares the usage of commencer à ‘to begin’+Vinf. and se mettre à ‘to start’ + Vinf. in modern French. Using a corpus sample of 2000 observations, we examined the effect of Adverbial complementation, of Event type (aspect), and of Tense. Based on a mixed-effects logistic regression analysis, we found evidence for Event type, where se...

Inchoativity in French Linguistics
This article deals with the notion of inchoativity in modern French which seems to be problematic in more than one way. A first, descriptive, part reviews the core meanings of the concept and their corresponding linguistic realizations. It is divided into two main approaches: one semantic-syntactic and the other h...

Un bon nombre de linguistes se sont intéressés à la place importante que prennent les verbes aspectuels dans l’interface syntaxo-sémantique. Nous avons conçu le projet de nous engager sur la même piste1. Nos données, utiles pour le volet syntactico-distributionnel, proviennent de corpus oraux, réunis dans le projet ELICOP2, de même que de corpus éc...
