Description

Langages - Année 1999 - Volume 33 - Numéro 133 - Pages 81-97
An adjective - traditionally qualificative - in constructions with strong syntactic and lexical constraints like those in which object complements appear, is a striking example of the fact that the meaning of a word results from a network of relationships between the various constituents of the sentence. Selectional compatibilities ? Combination rules ? The properties of complementarity and gradation of a pair of antonyms like the temperature adjectives hot and cold, applied to food, vary according to modality and aspect, and, as far as aspect is concerned, it is essential to deal with the adjective in close connection with the determiner of the noun it qualifies . This is a type of analysis which brings into play aspectual adverbs as lexical keys and offers a new approach to the question of calculation of meanings that diverge from literal meanings.

Abstract An adjective - traditionally qualificative - in constructions with strong syntactic and lexical constraints like those in which object complements appear, is a striking example of the fact that the meaning of a word results from a network of relationships between the various constituents of the sentence. Selectional compatibilities ? Combination rules ? The properties of complementarity and gradation of a pair of antonyms like the temperature adjectives hot and cold, applied to food, vary according to modality and aspect, and, as far as aspect is concerned, it is essential to deal with the adjective in close connection with the determiner of the noun it qualifies . This is a type of analysis which brings into play aspectual adverbs as "lexical keys" and offers a new approach to the question of calculation of meanings that diverge from literal meanings.
