The article opens with a brief exposition of the temporal values of this connector. Then, the article seeks to show that in some contexts, especially when combined with the conjunction, this connector loses its temporal value and gains a rather argumentative one, and can thus be regarded as an indicator of point of view. Finally, the article attempts to shed light on the conditions that make such a shift possible.

We set to discuss some selection restrictions that this expression imposes on the noun that follows it (en pleine rue/ *en pleine route). We will demonstrate, through the study of a varied corpus, that some of the uses commonly held as implausible, (*en pleine gare) might turn out to be quite natural in some contexts. The study advocates that the (im)plausibility of these constructions is partly determined by the situation of the utterance and the linguistic co-text. In such a case, the spatial meaning of the locator gives way to another interpretation closely linked to the context.
