Summary/Abstract: Through our observations of classroom practices, as didacticians and linguists, we note that infinitive constructions governed by a verb of perception (ICP) are only extremely rarely included in French as a Foreign Language teaching programmes. Yet, the perception of reality through the senses is one of the sociolinguistic objectives. In this case, unless we are inattentive, this is a notable gap in didactics that should be filled. We would propose to elucidate the specificities of the French ICP from a semantic-logical and cognitive perspectives.
