Our study applies this test to all types of nouns (see, inter alia, mass, countable, abstract, concrete, property, perception nouns) in order to examine which are the best candidates that can be hosted by our target structure. The reader will find a fine description of every possibility or impossibility of use throughout eight "nominal sections" and an explanation for the different reasons of blocking is given in the conclusion. This "experience" may seem limited but it finally turns out to offer very useful information not only about nouns' semantics, but also about space semantics and the construction se trouver + SP locatif itself.

This is particularly interesting because these two operations have formally similar realizations even in languages belonging to different groups. The existence of a large number of type nouns testifies to their productivity. If these nouns serve to both categorize and approximate, the fundamental question is that of identifying the processes of interpretation concerned, since there is not always a consensus on interpretation. This book makes it clear that there are different ways to reach the category associated with a word by putting into perspective the issues surrounding the categorization and approximation and by comparing the ways of expression in languages belonging to different language groups. All in all, by investigating syntactic, morphological, and semantic correlations between type noun binominals and other constructions in various languages, this volume will provide an overview of the current state of research on the subject in order to help scholars and students to grasp the meaning and the cognitive foundations of approximation and categorization. The functioning of each language might clarify the links between categorization and approximation, two often opposed, yet essentially indissociable, operations.

Comment perçoit-on, comment conceptualise-t-on, et comment, dans un double mouvement, le langage garde-t-il des traces du monde et le façonne-t-il ? Ces questions relèvent de l’articulation entre des modèles de fonctionnement de la langue et des modèles plus généraux de l’architecture fonctionnelle de l’esprit, telle que tous les modèles d’accès lexical et d’accès sémantique (Kutas & Federmeier 2000) les envisagent par exemple. Inscrite de manière évidente dans les problématiques évoquées ci-dessus, la catégorisation linguistique (claire et/ou approximative) est interrogée dans ce colloque, dont l’objectif majeur est une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes qui sous-tendent cette activité et des paramètres qui gouvernent son expression.
