Des verbes aux noms en -ant [+hum]
Serge Meleuc · Linx · 1996
From the whole corpus of French Verbs (12000 V), one may get about 600 derived Nouns -ant. Starting with 6000 verbs, we study here the 200 Nouns -ant marked as [+hum] . According to the general principles of the " lexique-grammaire " research, initiated at LADL by Prof. M. Gross, the subcategorizational and selectional properties of the Verbs in their elementary sentence-frames are tested in relation to the possibility of an automatic characterization of the derived Nouns -ant.
