This article examines the semantic value of the infinitive in the ingressive constructions se mettre à (SMA) and commencer à (COMA) using a distinctive collexeme analysis. We find that the collexemes significant for the construction SMA are fairly homogeneous across the different corpora and can be grouped into the general category of expressive collexemes. The collexemes significant for COMA are more heterogeneous and belong to the category of cognitive collexemes and to semantic fields of sensory and creative acts. The results are compatible with the hypothesis put forward by Verroens and De Cuypere (2023) stating that the overall meaning of the SMA construction is intrinsically punctual. The punctual value of SMA is not only compatible with expressive collexemes, but, moreover, emphasizes their unforeseen and unintentional meaning. Conversely, the incremental value of COMA is consistent with the gradual onset of cognitive and sensory collexemes.
本文通过独特的词库分析，研究了摄入性结构 se mettre à (SMA) 和 commencer à (COMA) 中不定式的语义价值。我们发现，在不同语料库中，对 SMA 结构有意义的词库相当一致，可以归入一般的表达性词库类别。对 COMA 意义重大的词组则更具异质性，属于认知类词组以及感官和创造性行为的语义领域。这些结果与 Verroens 和 De Cuypere（2023 年）提出的假设相吻合，即 SMA 结构的整体意义具有内在的准时性。SMA 的准时性价值不仅与表达性复句相一致，而且还强调了其不可预见和无意的意义。相反，COMA 的增量价值则与认知和感官联想的渐进性相一致。

Long-term contact with English has led to the presence in Guernésiais of a considerable number of lone English-origin lexical items (Jones, 2015). Although the presence of such items was being noted as far back as the nineteenth century, this is the first study to analyse and document them systematically. Using extensive original data, it examines these lexical items in relation to each part of speech and discusses their use in Guernésiais in the broader context of language contact. The study also considers whether, and how, lone English-origin lexical items become assimilated phonologically and morphosyntactically and whether frequency and motivation have a bearing on their usage.

Gender inclusive writing, a term that refers to a wide range of feminist linguistic practices aimed at reducing linguistic androcentrism, has been the topic of heated debates in France. Recent experimental studies have investigated its interpretation and showed that inclusive forms with the point médian (“étudiant·e·s”) and repetition (“étudiants et étudiantes”) feminize participants’ mental representations compared to the generic masculine (“étudiants”). In this article, we bring novel results from three experiments investigating the interpretation of these two inclusive forms in a more detailed context (university brochures). We find that the point médian is subject to “context dilution” effects: its meaning disappears in rich contexts, while repetition consistently changes readers’ mental representations, provided it is used systematically. We argue that our results show the necessity of looking at more ecological contexts in experimental (socio)linguistics for understanding the interpretation and processing of socially important linguistic variants.
性别包容写作(Gender inclusive writing)是指旨在减少语言男性中心主义的广泛的女权主义语言实践，在法国一直是热议的话题。最近的实验研究对其解释进行了调查，结果表明，与一般的男性化形式(“samtudiants”)相比，以“samudiant·e·s”为点的包容性形式(“samudiant·e·s”)和重复形式(“samudiants et samudiantes”)使参与者的心理表征女性化。在这篇文章中，我们从三个实验中获得了新的结果，这些实验研究了在更详细的背景下(大学小册子)对这两种包容性形式的解释。我们发现，如果有系统地使用这一点，那么它会受到“语境淡化”效应的影响:在丰富的语境中，它的意义会消失，而重复则会不断改变读者的心理表征。我们认为，我们的结果表明，有必要在实验(社会)语言学中研究更多的生态背景，以理解对社会重要的语言变体的解释和处理。
