prépositions > GV
+ to préposition (reprise)
+
La préposition to est suivie d'un nom ou d'une forme nominale en -ING.
BV + -ING (gérondif) fonctionne comme un Groupe Nominal (GN). -ING nominalise le verbe et ses compléments.
Cette forme peut d'ailleurs être remplacée par un GN : voir énoncés 1-2, 3-4 et 5-6.
A la différence de to viseur -> BV, qui annonce une information présentée comme inédite, to préposition + GN / -ING reprend des séquences de mots sur le mode de l'évidence, du connu, consensuel, admis, récurrent :
