Abstract EN:
After a formal analysis of the verb phrase (nominal forms as well as simple and compound finite tenses), the study of serialization and causative construction has shown, at the morphological level itself, a complex interaction of not only syntactic features but semantic and speach-act features too. The four main diatheses (ergative, passive, the structure with the main term in the dative case, the structure with the main term in the genitive case) also show the prevalent importance of the speaker's view-point and of semantic factors in the selection of the type of verbal statement in modern hindi.
Abstract FR:
L'analyse des formes du syntagme verbal (formes nominales, temps conjugues simples et composes), puis l'etude des phenomenes de serialisation et de la construction causative, revelent l'interaction, au niveau morphologique meme, de facteurs non seulement syntaxiques, mais aussi semantiques et enonciatifs. L'examen ensuite des quatre diatheses principales (diatheses passive et ergative, structures a actant principal au datif et au genitif, confirment l'importance primordiale des facteurs enonciatifs et semantiques, notamment le degre d'agentivite de l'actant principal, dans la selection du type d'enonce verbal en hindi moderne.
