Abstract EN:

Firstly, the present works aims to provide a syntatic description of the direct object complement of verbs such as manger, chanter and casser, according to the distributions model framework. All these verbs share one characteristic: they may be used both as transitive and or intransitive without any significant change in meaning. Secondly, another type of complement will be considered, one which is semantically linked to the noun-subject as its innalienable part. We can find an example of its use in sentences such as marie explique ses idees marie s'explique, in which the element se represents the prominalization of a np which is not identical with the subject of the np. Furthermore, we will try to prove that the complement ses idees does not have characteristics ineherent to the complement that can be found in a sentence such as vanessa surveille ses enfants, in which ses enfants shares with ses idees the same distribution (and function). Finally, we will deal with the nominal sequence of impersonal verbs of the type that can occur in sentences such as il arrive des amis, and, contradicting the long established tradition in grammar, we will formulate the following hypothesis: des amis is not the logical or real subject of the sentence, being, instead, a particular kind of object-complement. Therefore, the impersonal structure will be not a transformation-derived. . .
