that pronom relatif (précédé du nom / GN antécédent)

that conjonction

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fonction :

La conjonction that n'est pas un pronom : elle n'a aucun antécédent.

A la différence du pronom - sujet ou objet - , la conjonction n'est ni l'un, ni l'autre.

 

Syntaxe :

La conjonction, comme son nom l'indique, fait la jonction entre verbe et proposition (SVO).

 

 

Someone once said to me that "depression is just extreme vanity",

and though obviously I don't think that everyone who's depressed is a wuss,

I'm starting to think there's something to it.

Some people have genuinely had their brain chemicals go wrong, for whatever reason;

they've got a right to be depressed.

Also, I think that people who were abused, sexually or otherwise,

as children must suffer despair and sorrow in their adult lives

to a degree the rest of us cannot begin to comprehend; they've got a right to be depressed.

But I also think that a lot of so-called depression

comes from people having no perspective on their problems - vanity, if you will.

THE world reacted with revulsion last night at the killing of hostage Ken Bigley.

A shaken Tony Blair appeared on TV to condemn the beheading

The PM said: "I feel desperately sorry for Kenneth Bigley and his family.

I feel utter revulsion at the people that did this."

A shopkeeper running a small souvenir business in Nazareth has made

Elias Shama's small souvenir shop in Nazareth,

the town of Jesus's childhood, barely catches the eye.

Tourists usually pass by it on their way to the neighbouring Mary's Well church,

claimed by the Greek Orthodox church as the site where the Archangel Gabriel

revealed to Mary that she was carrying the son of God.

Cet énoncé comprend deux propositions relatives déterminatives.

 

On remarque tout d'abord l'ellipse ( Ø  )

du pronom relatif objet that entre people et I

(sur le schéma de l'énoncé bien connu The man Ø I love...).

 

La proposition (that) I admire est une relative déterminative :

elle détermine The people.

L'énonciateur (ici le chef d'orchestre William Christie)

ne parle pas de toutes les personnes ou des gens en général (people),

mais seulement des musiciens qu'il admire :

The people I admire musically  (GN complexe).

 

Sans cette relative,

people resterait indéterminé, indifférencié, hors-catégorie (people = les gens en général).

 

people fait l'objet d'une seconde détermination, introduite par le pronom relatif sujet who :

people who content themselves with one period. (GN complexe).

La proposition relative ci-dessus,

introduite par le pronom relatif objet whom,

est non déterminative,

encadrée par des virgules qui jouent le rôle de mise entre parenthèses.

 

L'information whom I do admire greatly

n'est pas nécessaire pour comprendre

qui est le référent de l'antécédent

(Simon Rattle = célèbre chef d'orchestre britannique).

 

Simon Rattle est un nom propre, auto-déterminé,

à l'inverse du nom indéterminé people (voir énoncé précédent).

 

Le GN Simon Rattle se suffit ici à lui-même;

il n'a besoin d'aucune détermination / définition.

 

Glose : Quand Simon Rattle, qu'entre parenthèses j'admire beaucoup, dirige Rameau...

 

La relative non déterminative

peut être supprimée sans nuire au sens premier de l'énoncé :

 

When Simon Rattle does Rameau he stops everything else...

 

 

 

 

 

Autre non déterminative :

8 City Officers Charged in Gun Smuggling Case

 

October 25, 2011
The New York Times
By WILLIAM K. RASHBAUM and JOSEPH GOLDSTEIN

 

Eight current and former New York police officers were arrested on Tuesday and charged in federal court with accepting thousands of dollars in cash to drive a caravan of firearms into the state, an act of corruption that brazenly defied the city’s strenuous efforts to get illegal guns off the streets.

The officers — five are still on the force, and three are retired — and four other men were accused of transporting M-16 rifles and handguns, as well as what they believed to be stolen merchandise across state lines, according to a complaint filed in the case in Federal District Court in Manhattan.

The current and retired officers, most of whom at one time or another worked in the same Brooklyn station house, were arrested at their homes before sunrise by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and investigators from the Police Department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, officials said. Also arrested were a New Jersey correction officer, a former New York City Sanitation Department police officer and two men identified in the complaint as his associates.

The Equal Opportunities Commission has been asked

to investigate the research assessment exercise,

after it was discovered that men were

twice as likely as women to be rated "research active".

The Association of University Teachers

said it had the first conclusive proof that the system,

whereby institutions submit research from their top academics for rating,

which then determines their funding,

flies in the face of equal opportunities policies.

Akins was ambassador to Saudi Arabia before he was fired after a series of conflicts

with then Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, father of the vision to pipe oil west from Iraq.

In 1975, Kissinger signed what forms the basis for the Haifa project:

a Memorandum of Understanding whereby the US would guarantee Israel's oil reserves

and energy supply in times of crisis.

(...)

The memorandum has been quietly renewed every five years,

with special legislation attached whereby the US stocks a strategic oil reserve for Israel

even if it entailed domestic shortages - at a cost of $3 billion (£1.9bn) in 2002 to US taxpayers.

Only to recall that era, and the Edwardian one that preceded it, is to realise how complete has been the eclipse of monarchy, and how great its attenuation even in Britain. When she was born, there were real-live Hohenzollerns, Romanoffs and Hapsburgs, all of them related to the gloomy Saxe-Coburg-Gothas and Battenbergs into whose house she was wed. And she lived to see unclean laundry run up the Buckingham Palace flagpole, while her grandchildren failed to stay married and her eldest daughter's dominions either became independent states or - even in the home islands - contemplated doing so. Quite a facer for the last Empress of India. Her unfailing cheerfulness in the face of all this was (refreshments to one side) an imperishable part of the great British traditional "act" whereby the situation is always desperate but never quite serious.
