Locutions en SI et marqueurs dans la protase : Compositionnalité et indices co-textuels

In this paper, we would like to focus on cases in which the French conditional marker SI is associated with some other markers, in order to determine what kind of uses are induced by these constructions. According to our classification of SI uses, we will distinguish two cases. In the first case (Q, sauf si P, ne Q que si P and P seulement si Q), we consider that a new use emerges that could not be built using only SI. On the contrary, in the second case (Q, si seulement P, si seulement P, Q, même si P, Q, and si jamais), the second marker does not lead to a new use of SI. On the contrary, it seems to work as an indication to decide which use of SI the speaker refers to by pointing to an existing use of SI that could be built without using this marker.
