Une grammaire locale de l'expression des sentiments

M. Gross ; We present the grammar of a set of sentences that express "feelings". We consider two main types : sentences with two arguments, one is a person and the other is the "feeling" affecting this person. We study all syntactic patterns that correspond to such semantically defined utterances. The second type of sentences is causative with respect to the preceding one, hence a third argument is introduced : the noun phrase that triggers the "feeling". We study again the syntactic patterns available in French to express this situation and the syntactic transformations that relate both types.
