description | Description of the preposition dans (in) introducing a PP functioning as a non-finite clause adjunct to the main sentence ("host sentence"), ex In his haste, he impetuously opened the door without knocking. In the same way as other prepositions such as à (to), sur (on), sous (under), devant (before) or face à (in front of), the preposition dans (in) contributes to the expression of a temporal-logical relation of weak consecutivity between a state s expressed by a nominal form in the PP and an event e represented by the host sentence. Dans (in) can then be interpreted as étant donné (given), du fait de (because of). This effect of weak consecutivity is based on the conjunction of a certain number of factors such as 1) the semantic nature of the noun inside the PP, 2) some syntactic features of the PP internal structure, 3) some aspectual conditions concerning the verb and other constituents within the host sentence, necessary to legitimate the interpretation of a consecutivity relation that can be established between a state, expressed by the PP, and an incoming event to be found in the host sentence. |
