Abstract
The term Apposition has given rise to many disputes over its range of occurrence and its affinity with the Epithet. This article is an attempt to detect theoretical and logical ambiguities concerning the Apposition in the analyses of Armenian and French syntax. After a brief presentation of “contradictions”, the author tries to explore the internal logic which caused them. Then, the problem is reviewed again in the light of the cognitive grammar.
