Abstract
G. Gross : Classes d'objet et description des verbes ; This article aims at clarifying the concept of « object classes » in natural languages and its usefulness in describing verbal predicates. Syntactic features such as human, concrete, abstract are not accurate enough to account for the polysemy of the operators. Object classes can be put to other uses, some of which are outlined here.
