| description | During the last 10-15 years, gerund (le gérondif) has been studied from almost all possible points of view, in other words, frommorphological, syntactic, semantic and discourse perspectives.Nevertheless, investigators have not yet reached any agreement on the origin of this non-finite verb form of French, neither with regard to the existence of a connection with the Latin gerundium (gerundi [modus]), nor with regard to the presence of a common semanticrepresentation with the other –ant form, the present participle. Acertain consensus has been reached only regarding its status andits syntactic behaviour. However, the results of recent studies arenot quite conclusive.In our opinion, it is not possible to interpret and describe how theFrench gerund functions in discourse if its mental representationin language is neglected. Our contribution aims at analyzing how the mental representation of the gerund ensures the production of so many effects within a text and how it works when language is represented in discourse. |
