Jacqueline GIRY-SCHNEIDER : Is the adjective personnel an anaphora or a relational predicate? We investigate the syntactic and semantic properties of the adjective personnel. Strange as they are, we intend to show that this adjective belongs to a certain class named here prédicats de relation, these relations may be temporal, spatial or logic; the specific meanings of the adjective personnel and of the noun person are systematically described and compared. Even when an adjective is constructed absolutely, it takes what we define a subjective, qualificative meaning which we suppose being derived of the relative one. Therefore, it may be concluded that traditional dichotomy (qualificative and relational adjectives) is irrelevant.
