| Summary: | This article aims to find out why have a quick look and have a strange look for instance have to be analyzed differently though they are quite similar from a morphological point of view. It is the linguist’s task to point out which contextual elements favour one interpretation when the other is necessarily banned while in both cases the referent of the grammatical subject is a human being. Our enunciative approach will then lead us to question the validity of what is usually meant by such syntactic markers as “noun” and “indefinite article”, and we shall discuss the nature of the adjectives that can be used when the have a phrase refers to a process or to a property of the subject. |
