description This paper uncovers the specific properties of “which NP do”, “that NP do” and “this NP do” constructions. Based on a thorough analysis of electronic corpora, it lays bare a factitive meaning shared by the various forms of the verb do, provided the latter takes some complementation (verbal in the case of auxiliary do, nominal in the case of transitive do). In “which NP do”, “that NP do” and “this NP do” constructions notably, this underlying semantic unity appears to blur the boundary between lexical and grammatical occurrences of the verb do, thus obscuring the syntactic differences between the lexical verb and the auxiliary.
