Alice Violet, « Après réflexion, after examination, et autres : étude de corpus des syntagmes de type après N et after N en français et en anglais », HAL-SHS : linguistique, ID : 10670/1.8kjhtl
Recent research has underlined the interest of determinerless prepositional phrases. The present paper will discuss the results of a corpus-based investigation of [after N] and [après N] constructions. It will be shown that these constructions are subject to specific syntactical and semantic constraints, and that the use of the zero article can be systematically correlated with specific sense effects.
