This paper is devoted to the NSM exponents of “mental predicates” in French. The aim of the study is to examine how NSM applies to French. The paper focuses on a French translation of 99 canonical sentences (formulated in English) and discusses major difficulties in translating those sentences (in the section “Mental Predicates”) into French.
