Le but général de cet article est de traiter en détails les différentes stratégies qui sont employées en Vai pour exprimer les prédicats de propriété. Comme l’a fait remarquer Stassen (1997) en discutant l’expression de la qualification du point de vue typologique, le trait le plus saillant du Vai est l’emploi de quatre stratégies différentes (deux stratégies non-verbales et deux stratégies verbales). L’encodage des mots de propriété est examiné en considérant les types sémantiques de Dixon (1977 ; 2004) et le concept de “time-stability” proposé par Givón (1984). De plus, les deux stratégies verbales (le factatif et le statif) sont étudiées dans une perspective comparatiste des langues du groupe Mandé-Central.
