« Seulement, c’est complexe ! » Étude de corpus de différents emplois de l’adverbe seulement

Master thesis | Linguistics (MA)

This thesis examines several uses of the French adverb 'seulement' that have been distinguished by French researcher Beyssade (2010). On the basis of a corpus study (Corpus d'Orléans) and speaker judgments, this thesis presents some new insights with respect to the theoretical classification of 'seulement'. Some classes have slightly different properties than Beyssade (2010) originally proposed. In this way, this thesis is extending the discussion that has been led on by multiple linguists with regard to the topic of 'seulement'.
