Ji - Eun Kim. 2002 . T rans lation of body part s ' nouns from Kore an into French in the NP Object . S t ud ie s in M od e rn Gramma r 27, 197 - 225 . This paper investigates the nouns of body part s in Korean that are translated as an NP object in French (These Korean Nouns are abbreviated below as 'Npcrul' ). My discussion centers on describing two things: (a) What grammatical functions in French perform when describing the person of 'Npcrul' . (b) What are linguistic factors by which 'Npcrul' s are translated in French, when they are preceded by one of the three articles : the indefinite article (un Npc), the definite article (le Npc) and possessive article (son Npc).
