Paris-Diderot, Labex EFL) [email protected] The literature in relative clause processing mainly presents differences between subject and object relative clauses (SRs and ORs). In our study, w...

Voice mismatches may arise in VP ellipsis and Pseudogapping between source and target. No such mismatch has been reported for Right Node Raising (RNR).
However, French corpora provide many examples, where the shared participle must be interpreted as active (reflexive) and passive. Since RNR requires semantic contrast between the conjuncts, we condu...
Résumé Les relatives en dont ont fait l’objet de plusieurs études théoriques (Godard 1988) mais ont moins été étudiées d’un point de vue empirique (Gapany 2004). C. Blanche-Benveniste (1995) notait leur rareté dans des corpus oraux, où ils sont principalement compléments de certains verbes. Notre objectif est d’observer le comportement des relative...

Existing studies (Blinkenberg, 1928-1933 Berrendonner 1987, Schmitt 1987, Abeillé Godard 2004, 2006) have proposed that the weight and the discourse status (given or new) of the complements play a role, as well as the verb meaning, but they are not based ...
We present evidence from a sentence recall paradigm in French bearing on the role of conceptual information, specifically animacy, in sentence production. Previous studies have found that rates of inversion errors in production indicated a preference to produce more conceptually accessible DPs (on a scale such as that of Keenan and Comrie, 1977) ea...

French has three types of polar questions: an interrogative with est-ce-que, or an inverted clitic, or a questioning declarative clause: est-ce-que-clause Est-ce que Paul sera là ? (will Paul be there ?) inv-clause Paul sera-t-il là ? Q-declarative Paul sera là ? Marandin 2005, Beyssade-Marandin 2006 argue that Q-declaratives in French, unlike inte...
