Analyse Contrastive des Formes Être Prép X en Français et en Roumain

Abstract

Taking as a starting point one of Maurice Gross' items on the constructions be Prep X, we have tried to maintain the same classes he established for French in Romanian and see what differences appear between these two Romance languages. The translation we offer was made word for word whenever that was possible; if not, we use the equivalent to preserve the sense. Opened to different applications, our work aims at finding various ways of converting and transmitting information in a foreign language, as well as serving as a basis for ulterior comparative studies enabling the future automatic translations by computers.

Where Do Aspectual Variants of Light Verb Constructions Belong?

“…We gave our examples in French, but a similar behaviour of aspectual variants of LVC has been reported in Portuguese (Ranchhod, 1989(Ranchhod, , 1990Baptista, 2005;Barros, 2014;Santos, 2015;Picoli et al, 2021), Italian (De Angelis, 1989;Vietri, 1996), Greek (Fotopoulou, 1992;Moustaki, 1995;Pantazara, 2003), andSpanish (Mogorrón, 1996;Blanco, Buvet, 2004). Our conclusions, both on aspectual variants of LVC and on PP idioms, are extensible to these languages, and maybe to English (Machonis, 1988;Garcia-Vega, Machonis, 2014), Romanian (Rădulescu, 1995), and Korean (Han, 2000, vol. 1, p. 123-126).…”
