La place de l'attribut du sujet et son évolution aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles en français

Christiane Marchello-Nizia : « The place of the subjective complement and its evolution in 12th and 13th centuries in French » The aim of this paper is to answer two questions : did the position of adjective complement change during the 12th and 13th centuries ? Is this evolution of the same type as the evolution of nominal object ? The two evolutions are mainly the same ; we have noted therefore some differences. During the period of Old French, adjective complements show a tendency to greater cohesion (Moût est granz —* II est tres-grant).
