Abstract:
  • The paper starts with a short account of the category of prepositions as traditionally understood, then extends this category by redrawing the boundaries between prepositions and subordinators, and between prepositions and adverbs. The syntactic properties of prepositions are to be compared with those of adjectives and verbs in order to reveal the differences between them.
  • Ce travail débute par présenter de façon succinte la catégorie des prépositions, selon les approches traditionnelles, et continue par tracer les limites entre prépositions et éléments subordonnateurs, prépositions et adverbes. Les propriétés syntaxiques des prépositions seront comparées aux celles des adjectifs et des verbes afin de rendre en évidence les différences.
Key words:
  • lexemes, traditional class, prepositions head phrases, preposition phrases, constituents, non-gradable
