Synonymie verbale et constructions verbales concurrentes JO - Cahiers de lexicologie (ISSN 2262-0346), 121, 2022 – 2 DO - 10.48611/isbn.978-2-406-14565-3.p.0087 SN - 2262-0346 SP - 87 EP - 117 AB - The French verbs arriver, parvenir, atteindre (“to arrive/ attain/ reach”) are seen as quasi-synonyms in many of their uses. We propose several hypotheses to explain the differences. Corpus analysis reveals functional properties such as force, resistance and intentionality. These properties allow us to understand the various extensions in meaning of these verbs and play a crucial role in explaining the constraints on construction.
