Title: De la Morphosyntaxe � la S�mantique des Pr�sentatifs en Fran�ais Contemporain Series Title: LINCOM Studies in French Linguistics 02 Publication Year: 2003 Publisher: Lincom GmbH www.lincom-europa.com, http://lincom.at Author: M. Dassi, Universit� de Yaound� I Paperback: ISBN: ISBN3895867314, Pages: 650, Price: EUR 74 Abstract: Cette derni�re d�cennie, une kyrielle de travaux de linguistique portant sur le lexique ont insist� sur l'appropriation et la dynamique du fran�ais en francophonie. Dans cette optique, la pr�sente �tude des pr�sentatifs (c'est, il y a, il est, voici, voil�), qui ne reprend pas une autre, contribue � mettre en relief la flexibilit� de la morphosyntaxe du fran�ais. Cela � travers une r�elle appropriation de la langue-cible par une population francophone pr�cise ; d'o� l'exploration de la prose romanesque du classique africain Mongo Beti. Cette �tude d'une classe syntaxique nouvelle et tr�s peu explor�e est �labor�e sur les principes du distributionnalisme. La tendance qui a pr�valu ici, c'est celle d'Einar Haugen qui pr�conise une double �tude (interne et externe) de la langue. Elle prend n�cessairement en compte non seulement les constructions (morphosyntaxiques), mais aussi les questions d'�nonciation qui entourent l'usage des pr�sentatifs et dont l'incidence s�mantique (et pragmatique) est consid�rable. Cette option permet d'�voluer de la micro-syntaxe (phrastique) � la macro-syntaxe (supra phrastique), pour percevoir les pr�sentatifs comme d'importants jalons s�quentialisants du discours. Il s'ensuit la n�cessit� d'une articulation harmonieuse du linguistique et du litt�raire, d'une part, de l'oral et de l'�crit, d'autre part ; � ce moment o� l'oralisation de la langue fran�aise s'acc�l�re. In the last decade, many studies in the area of linguistics relating to lexis have focused on the appropriation and dynamism of the French Language in the francophone world. In this connection, the present study on "pr�sentatifs" (c'est, il y a, il est, voici, voil�) a study that has not yet been so systematically and profoundly done, contributes in showing the flexibility of the morphology and syntax of the French Language. The study permits a real appropriation of a target language by a given francophone community ; hence, the exploration of the aesthetics of the works of Mongo Beti that have become a classic in African writing. This study of a new category of syntax that has not been adequately explored is elaborated on the principle of distributionalism. The study is informed by the postulations of Einar Haugen which stipulate a dual study (intrinsic and extrinsic) of language. It therefore takes into consideration not only morpho-syntatic constructs but especially issues on enunciation that relates to the use of "pr�sentatifs" and whose semantic and pragmatic consequences are of great importance. This orientation therefore, allows us to evolve from phraseological micro-syntax to supra-phraseological macro-syntax in order to enhance the perception of "pr�sentatifs" as important mile stones that indicates a division of discourse. It follows, therefore, that one can discern the need for a harmonious articulation of the linguistic and the literary, on the one hand, and of the oral and the written on the other ; in the situation where the orality of the French Language is accelerated.
