Abstract

The language, as a result of a convention, of an unsigned social contract between individuals, evolves and grows rich in a diachronic process. In this historical process, some phonic and semantic changes occur in the language. Any word in French could be examined through synchronic method. When we study the verbs from the point of view of syntax, the environment and the situation of communication where they are used, we note important changes in their semantic field and their register. We can also notice that the metaphor and the metonymy arise as a result of the changes in the syntactic, lexical and semantic features of the noun phrase, subject or complement surrounding the verb.
