| description | In this article, I study a group of complex prepositions
linked semantically by the notion of absence of an entity or event,
seen as a circumstance for another situation: en l’absence de, faute
de, à défaut de, par manque de. I first discuss the semantics of the
constituent nouns of these prepositions as a prerequisite to studying
their role in the constitution of the prepositions focussed on. I then
argue for abandoning the very common treatment of prepositions as
relators, showing that the prepositions I consider cannot be treated
as mere relators. I then examine tests that show that the members of
this group belong to complex prepositions, while demonstrating the
proximity of some of them to other constructions, such as participial
clauses. Next, I study the regime of these prepositions, showing
that they present important differences that I try to explain by their
structure. Finally, I analyze the syntactic and semantic differences
between the various prepositions. |
