Prosodic, syntactic and semantico-pragmatic parameters as clues for projection: the case of "il y a"
Résumé
Prosody is involved in turn-taking (Local, 1992), together with syntax (Selting, 2005) and semantico-pragmatic parameters (Auer, 1996). A
sequential analysis of a syntactic construction, taking into account these parameters, may reveal its conversational functionalities, its interactional
pattern and maybe its grammaticization (Hayashi, 2004). In this contribution we choose to study the French « il y a » ‘there is'. We first study the so-called ya-cleft construction (Lambrecht, 1988), in which « il
y a » can be involved, and then we will discuss the notion of projection (Goodwin, 2002).
