Résumé
The nature of grammatical semantics and its relationships to lexical semantics are approached here through the problem of synchronie grammaticalization. Synchronie use of morphems in different syntactic categories is then analyzed in terms of fractals and topology, illustrated by examples from Wolof. Thus the functional model of fractal grammar, combining "scale invariance" and "scale properties", accounts for the semantic unity and functional flexibility of the transcategorial morphems through a dynamic linking of semantic and syntactic variations.
