Anaphores prédicatives démonstratives : de la cohésion syntagmatique à la cohérence textuelle

| Summary: | In this study, we put forward two constraints which limit the use of the predicative demonstrative NP (PDNP) i.e. conveying new information, compared to that given by its antecedent and/or the context. The first concerns the relation between the anaphoric SN and its source, which is « predicational » (in the sense of Van Peteghem, 1991) and whose SN attribute (of N2+modifier form) returns to a class of inherent properties and where the modifier justifies the partition implied by the demonstrative. The second series of constraints takes into account the role of the definite vs indefinite determinant of the antecedent of the PDNP, which limits the informational content. Actually, two principles control it: 1) a principle of relevance which explains why not « stereotyped » information can be accessible ; 2) a principle of coherence, in particular relation of causality between the PDNP and its predicate. |
