I am a master student in French linguistic at Queen’s University in Kingston, 
Ontario. My thesis subject is the syntax and semantics of adverb «assez» 
(enough) in French. I am interested in the different readings of assez: 

degree adverb (J’ai assez mangé. / I ate enough) 

completion adverb (Luc a assez terminé de peinturer sa chambre. / Luc has 
almost finished to peint his room.) 

and frequency adverb (Marie est assez allée au cinema. / Marie went enough 
often to the theater.) 

Unfortunately, I am having a hard time finding references on the semantics of 
'enough' or completion adverbials in general. I would like to know if someone 
knows about a thesis or a paper about «assez» or «enough» and the different 
meanings these adverbs can have in French, English or other languages. 

Thanks a lot for your help, 
Martine Thivierge-Bournival
