Abstract EN:

This research demonstrates that the definitive distinction between the interpretive concepts +argument; and +circumstant;, which has been ably shown in the passive, also has a relevant bearing in the analysis of other important themes, namely, the nominalization (a noun phrase having as its head a nominalization) and the causative (a phrase having a suffixed psychological causative verb as exciter). Thus, if one considers a phrase and a noun phrase in korean constructed respectively around a verb and its corresponding nominalization, one learns that the argumental asymmetry between the term-object (argument) and the term-subject (circumstant) of the phrase can also be verified within the mode of the realization of the noun phrase's complements, and especially in the phenomenon of "argumental paradox". Insofar as the causative in french and korean is concerned, this also displays the relevance of the distinction between +argument; and +circumstant;, bringing into discussion a relatively unknown dimension of suffixal causativation, that is to say, an identification between the "non-obligatory and non-discriminant circumstant; of the radical verbal intransitive (ex. S'excit(er)) and the "obligatory and discriminant circumstant; of the causative verbal suffix. Evaluating the pertinence of morphological analysis in french, i reveal an original clarification of the constructions having an intransitive (anti-causative) verb such as s'exciter or se degouter de, as well as that of the affixal status of the reflexive +se; concerned. Finally, i show that the psychological nominalizations of the type excitation or degout, contrary to common belief, are not unusual nor anormal, and that they have a syntactical-argumental organization parallel to those of their parental intransitive verbs such as s'exciter or se degouter de. Moreover, i bring into light the "categorial distortion" phenomenon in the position of the genitive np of the noun phrase in korean.
