Abstract
The Lexical Hypothesis of Chomsky 1970 as extended by Jackendoff 1975 seems to apply to all classic cases of derived nominals in Standard French. In French slang, the Hypothesis may be adapted to cases where truncation, with or without affixation, arbitrarily occurs in a lexical item other than at stem boundaries, by means of a morphological via rule (MV rule). When semantic properties of determiners are taken into account, use of the X Bar Convention makes the role of derived nominals more transparent. The French slang possessive contruction is syntactically innovative and resembles certain non-standard versions of other languages.
