Annotation: predication is fundamentally a discursive act which in the French language is generally accomplished by a predicative verb and more rarely by an adjective, a noun or a preposition used in a predicative way. In light of two grammatical theories which are both structural and functional, developed by Simon Dik and Robert van Valin, the author points to the qualitative and participatory characteristics of the "verbal predication" in the particular meaning it is given in the "Functional Grammar." These two types of characteristics represent the semantic elements which interact with the synatactic transitivity. The discussion of these characteristics allows for a hierarchical classification of verbal predications. The analysis of the loss of aptitude of the predicative function of different classes of verbal entries generates a certain continuum of predicativity (auxiliarity). And through three comparative studies of French and German, the author finally demonstrates that certain structural characteristics of the French verbal lexicon are most clearly derived from a comparison between languages, based on a large corpus of translations.

Publisher Description:
La predication est fondamentalement un acte de discours qui en francais est pris en charge generalement par un verbe (predicatif) et plus rarement par un adjectif, un nom ou une preposition en emploi predicatif. A la lumiere de deux theories grammaticales a la fois structurales et fonctionnelles developpees par Simon Dik et Robert van Valin, l'auteur met en evidence les proprietes aspectuelles et participatives de la predication verbale dans le sens particulier que confere a ce terme la Functional Grammar. Ces deux types de proprietes constituent des facteurs semantiques interagissant sur la transitivite syntaxique. La mise en evidence de ces proprietes permet l'elaboration d'un classement hierarchise des predications verbales. En integrant les proprietes aspectuelles et participatives du lexique verbal, cet ouvrage vise a rapprocher les approches tant formelles que fonctionnelles de son articulation. L'analyse de la perte d'aptitude a la fonction predicative de differentes classes d'entrees verbales conduit en outre a l'elaboration d'un continuum de predicativite (auxiliarite). Et a travers trois etudes contrastives entre le francais et l'allemand, l'auteur montre finalement que certains traits structurants du lexique verbal francais se degagent le plus clairement a partir de la comparaison interlangue, fondee sur le recours a un large corpus de traductions.
