International conference
Sorbonne University (Paris, France)
29-30 March 2019

‘Nouns – between Syntax and Semantics’

Organized by Pierre Cotte, Elise Mignot and Julie Neveux (Sorbonne University)

The conference aims to investigate the characterization of the noun class.
What are the specific features of this part of speech? Is the demarcation of
the noun class self-evident?

Nouns, like other lexical classes, are characterized by grammatical properties
(morphosyntax, functions), developed in structuralist and generativist
approaches (among others), or by ‘notional’ properties, developed by
traditional grammars, and, more recently, by cognitive grammars.

The two approaches (grammatical and notional) were already commented on by
Jespersen (The Philosophy of Grammar (1924, chapter 10). Over time, authors
chose one or the other of the two options, but despite the great advances made
in each of these two fields, the relationship between syntax and semantics
remains problematic and little discussed. This conference aims to explore this
relationship, to propose a review of the different and sometimes complementary
approaches, and to present recent research that sheds light on the
characteristics of this part of speech.
