Abstract
The objective of this article is to analyze and verify the
following structure: Quand (When) P,Q , the sequence Quand P could introduce a
referent. From this perspective, it is important to note the several studies
focused on the possible equivalence between the subordinate clauses introduced
by Quand and the adverbs having a temporal reference in order to put the stress
on the distinctive feature of Quand in referential expressions. This particular
nature emanates essentially from the capacity of Quand to introduce a referent that serves as
a temporal anchorage point in the interpretation of Quand. In view of the
above, we will be led to discuss the nature of the referent introduced by the
above cited conjunction in order to summarize the referential specificities of
Quand when it is placed in a front position. The first part of this work, there
will be a lot of food for thought concerning the different ideas related to the
referential characteristics of Quand.
Keywords: Quand, adverbs, temporal reference, anchorage.
