description In this article, I propose to analyse the argument structure of the form "faire + infinitive" by highlighting on its "bivalent" conduct on a syntactic and semantic levels. In fact, this form offers two possible readings on a syntactic point of view. One is to consider that "faire" is an autonomous verb, which includes an infinitive clause as an object ; the other is to say that "faire" is a particular auxiliary which combining itself with the infinitive of the verb turns it into a more complex one. By taking support on the analysis of the grammaticalisation of the causation which is expressed by the sets of themes roles, I will try to debrief on the specificity of this form as compared to other causative verbs, in the expression of the causation and the production of the change assigning a patient.
