Lexeme equivalence or rivalry of lexemes?
Creators
Description
This paper deals with the purported interchangeability between nouns and adjectives derived from nouns in French. The question of equivalence or rivalry between a morphologically complex adjective and a syntactic construction containing a morphologically-related noun links a field of studies on rivalry between inflected word forms, derivational suffixes or different syntactic constructions to express the same meaning. This paper then presents a corpus-based study of the relative distribution of nominal or adjectival realizations of a modifier of the same head noun and discusses some motivations that play a role in the choice of one or the other strategy.
