Will dans les subordonnées en when est-il un marqueur de différenciation au niveau qualitatif ?

Bénédicte Guillaume

Abstract :
It is well-known that the modal will cannot occur in a when-clause when the latter provides a locator for the rest of the utterance. The aim of this article is to discuss this problem as well as the explanations given for it in A. Culioli’s utterer-centred approach in the light of the examples in which the presence of will in a when-clause is possible, particularly in the case of relative clauses. I will try to demonstrate that the use of the modal signals a difference between the time at which the utterance is spoken and the time at which the event takes place, at the quantitative but also at the qualitative level.
