abstract:
In this study, we offer an overview of the main issues addressed by Gaston Gross in his analysis of
the adjectival category. Gross’s aim was to create an electronic dictionary of adjectives intended for
automatic language processing. His research work focused on the search for criteria for the identification
and description of the various subclasses of adjectives, as well as on the accurate description
of adjectival meaning using the notion of “emploi”. We will discuss some key concepts of the Théorie
des classes d’objets that have been applied to the study of the adjective. These include the notion of
adjectival predicate and adjectival use (“emploi”). We will attempt to draw a summary of Gaston
Gross’s achievements, while also discussing some critical issues.
