Combinatorial Profile of Collocations (Noun + Adjective) in French and Arabic: Collocation Chains under the Microscope

La collocation ne cesse de faire couler beaucoup d’encre depuis le Traité de stylistique française de Charles Bally ; son aspect contrastif et son aspect conventionnel ont attisé la curiosité des chercheurs. Somme toute, bien que les recherches aient été abondantes, peu d’études se sont penchées sur son environnement. Cet article s’intéresse à une des relations particulières de la collocation sur un axe syntagmatique : il s’agit de l’enchaînement collocationnel. C’est en quelque sorte une nouvelle relation combinatoire qui s’ajoute à une collocation d´ej à existante. Cet article se propose de dresser une première typologie et une première analyse de ce phénomène.Since Charles Bally’s Traite de stylistique française , collocation has continued to provoke interest as a research subject. The contrastive features and conventional features of collocations have aroused academic curiosity around the world. However, while there have been many studies, few have looked at the wider environment surrounding collocations. This paper examines collocational relationships on a syntagmatic axis, in other words, collocation chains, which represent a new combinatorial relationship added to an already existing collocation. This paper undertakes to draw up a first typology and to make an initial analysis of this phenomenon.fuadalqaisi@hotmail.comFu’ad Al-QAISI is currently lecturer of Arabic for foreign, heritage and native speakers at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.
