Abstract

Since cognitive linguistics has become such an influent theory in the theoretical debate around the world, we first examine the real breakthroughs of this approach, particularly of its semantic side. We then put this conceptual approach to the test by trying to apply it to one of the most problematic areas in French language learning/teaching: articles and the conceptual distinctions they reveal.
