Abstract EN
The present paper seeks to study adjuncts from a syntactic perspective.
Taking into account the fact that they are optional elements in the structure of the clause and that they can have different realisation forms, this study investigates this syntactic choice trying to link it to the context of use, which is in this case the genre of scientific writing, the domain of abstracts and the different research methodologies.
In fact, the chosen disciplines, namely medical and social, have different research methodologies since they are instances of hard and soft sciences, respectively.
Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used in the analysis of the adjuncts extracted from a corpus made up of research articles ’ abstracts in the medical and social sciences.
The aim is to prove that the syntactic distribution of adjuncts is linked to the context of use.
Abstract FRE
L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier la syntaxe des groupes adverbiaux.
Bien qu’ils soient optionnels dans la structure de la phrase et qu’ils aient plusieurs formes grammaticales, ils sont considérés comme moments de choix syntactique.
On cherche à démontrer que c’est le contexte qui agit sur ce choix là, particulièrement le genre d’écriture scientifique, le sous-genre de résumés d’articles scientifiques, et les différentes méthodologies de recherche.
Ces variables sont testées dans un corpus représentant deux disciplines différentes par leurs méthodologies (médecine et sociologie).
Des méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives sont employées dans 1’ analyse du corpus formé de résumés d’articles scientifiques de la médecine et de la sociologie pour pouvoir démontrer que le contexte joue un rôle important dans le choix des formes syntaxiques.
