Lexicon-Grammar Classifications. Or Better: to Get Rid of Anguish

Résumé En

The main perspective adopted in this paper is a (maybe subjective) clarification of some of Zellig Harris' and Maurice Gross' themes. Here, we pose and try to answer fundamental questions applying a line of reasoning based on sentence and distributional equivalence classes. These questions seem to us connecting the different phases of Harris' observations: from the strict distributionalism period to the transformationalism one, and to the one of operators and grammars. Starting from the research on nominal and adjectival operators, we propose a different interpretation of some classes of unary and binary operators.
