Les adverbiaux en position préverbale : portée cadrative et organisation des discours

Abstract

This paper focuses on the scope of adverbial constituents placed in the preverbal zone. First, we show how writers can take advantage of the framing potential of these adverbials to structure their discourse. Then, we review the ways in which the notion of ‘scope’ is used in semantics. In the last section, we argue for the notion of ‘framing scope’ as a way to account for the organizational function these adverbials assume beyond the sentence in which they occur. A specific argument for this distinction between ‘semantic scope’ and ‘framing scope’ is that these adverbials have the capacity to include in their ‘framing scope’ connectors or incidental clauses whose contents do not fall under their ‘semantic scope’.
