Élargissement de la valence verbale - Les verbes causatifs et semi-causatifs et le problème de la pronominalisation des compléments argumentaux

The causative and semi-causative periphrases represent a syntactic context in the framework of which the valence of a predicate is modified. Its redefinition generates new stematics by fusionning two autonomous argumental structures. For each causative pattern there are two distributional schemes with different dynamics : the clitics pattern bears more parameters as the nominal one, being defined not only by combination of dative and accusative forms but also by raising valence arguments of the verbal nucleus. The raising of pronominal arguments in the French causative structures constitutes the central theme of this paper.
