Secuencias "N+Adj" (semi)lexicalizadasestudio contrastivo español-francés

Resumo

This paper focuses on a contrastive study of "N+Adj" sequences of the type mesa redonda (Sp.) / table ronde (Fr.), café vienés (Sp.) / café viennois (Fr.) and esquí naútico (Sp.) / ski nautique (Fr.), whose fixation degree is a disputable issue depending on the criteria and theories adopted. Due to the use of varying terminology in the literature and the importance and prevalence of the phenomenon in natural languages, we first summarize the state of affairs in both languages. Second, we will briefly describe the features that grammarians and the relevant literature take into account in determining whether these constructions are (semi)lexicalized units or free combinations. Lastly, we will attempt to find converging and diverging points between the two languages and to add reflections that could improve research on contrastive lexicography and second language teaching and learning
