Fundamental French Constructions, Between Fixed and Flexible Associations: the Concept of the Block
Abstract
Fundamental French Constructions are units known for their compositional semantics and a fixity in their syntax and pragmatics, as well as conveying a cultural meaning. Within the typology of Fundamental French constructions, we find block constructions known for the block present in these units. In our opinion, these constructions sit on the edge between fixed and flexible combinations. The objective in this article is to explore the notion of the block with relation to these types of constructions and explore the possible links between Fundamental French Constructions and “formules sentencieuse”. Would it be possible for us to say that there exist common features between Fundamental French Constructions and the “formules sentencieuses”?
