Abstract

This paper analyses French locative prepositional phrases containing a location proper name Npr (e.g. M茅diterran茅e) and its associated classifier Nc (e.g. mer). The (Nc, Npr) pairs are formally described with the aid of elementary sentences. We study their syntactic properties within adverbial support verb constructions and encode them in a Lexicon-Grammar Matrix. From this matrix, we build grammars in the form of graphs and evaluate their application to a journalistic corpus.
