| Summary: | In this paper, we are interested in the absence of determinants in Chinese and French. As we all know that there is no article in Chinese, yet this does not mean the absence of the functions assumed by the article and the zero article. Regarding the functions of the articles, we will focus on the functional asymmetry between the two languages : presence / absence of an article in French and presence / absence of a quantifier in Chinese. In this research,we will do a comparative analysis on the functions of the article and the quantifiers, in particular on the following aspects : distinction between predicate and identification function ; concretion and actualization of nouns in French and Chinese ; dissymmetrical structure between these two languages in relation to the article / quantifier. Certainly, such comparative study makes it possible to observeto a certain extent the grammatical rapprochement between the two apparently distant languages. |
