Grammaticalisation et acquisition du prédicat complexe faire + Vinf
Abstracts
This paper comprises two parts. In the first, we examine the process of grammaticalisation of faire + Vinf complex predicate. We distinguish three stages: 1) the generalized use in Latin of biclausal constructions V1command, persuasion + complementizer + V2subjonctive; 2) the old form (two predicates) and the new form (complex predicate) coexist; 3) the new form entirely replaces the former. We then specify the criteria of identification of faire + Vinf complex predicate and illustrate its status within other causative mechanisms; we also mention some comparative elements of the causative construction in Bulgarian.
In the second part of this paper, we present an experiment conducted on the acquisition of faire + Vinf by 4 to 6 year-old French children. The results lead us to postulate a parallel between the stages of grammaticalisation and the acquisition of this construction.
