description | This article presents a study of the semantic and syntactic properties of the noun fait (fact), disregarding, for sake of brevity, the pragmatic and enunciative peculiarities of its use in discourse. In the first part, I recall what is already known of the specificational constructions typical of the NSS, adding only a new argument in favor of the idea (Adler 2017) that these nouns do not enter any « Be-Hierarchy ». In a second part, I show that a simple distributional syntactic description of the constructions the NSS enter, cannot be a good basis for a semantic (non intuitive) classification. In fact, these constructions are of three types, each corresponding to a semantic class. Fait and the nouns of « qualified facts » constitute one of the three classes, but even inside its own class, fait has a unique and singular position.shell nouns, facts, nominal lexicon, under-specification, specificational constructions |
