Working paper.
French-only micro-entry deepening the Group B Romance earmark line from
Allocate_Earmark_Comparison §11.2 (réserver / flécher pour vs allouer / affecter à;
pour Purpose; DAT /
à is allocate Goal). Shares √EARMARK geometry with
Lexical_Entry_Earmark_Argument_Structure /
Negative_Questions_Earmark and the live English / Japanese / Spanish twins. Contrast live Goal twin:
allocate-goal-fr.html. Constructed diagnostics diagnose ACC Resource,
pour-Purpose, Ben vs Purpose, Goal DAT reject, MeasureP /
en quantity, and missing spend/HAVE; they are not spontaneous-speech citations. Italian twin now live at
earmark-it.html. Mandarin / Navajo companions in the same DOCX are pointed only.
Constructed examples.
Frames below are packaging hypotheses aligned with Group B notes (“French allouer / affecter à vs réserver / flécher pour … DAT / à / a is the allocate Goal and can cliticize … en / ne tracks the quantity on both … pour remains Purpose.”). Restriction-true is e2. Spending, building the technology, transfer out of the reserve, and HAVE are not entailed. Do not fake elicitation. Document both réserver and flécher pour; scout affecter pour; do not invent a fake sense split.
Beyond Index 2.
Index 2 French Allocation cites
réserver; planifier (Vol. 5 Romance line). It does not list English
earmark as a French lemma pair, and it does not list
flécher. Like
allocateGOAL · French and
deduct · French, this root sits
Beyond Index 2 as a Group B Purpose flavour page — with Index 2
réserver as companion restriction lean, not as a second sense subscript. Keep Purpose as Type B
pour; do not collapse to allocate’s
à-Goal or grant’s required HAVE.
Scout / deferred.
Mandarin twin now live at
earmark-zh.html. Navajo classificatory-stem packaging remains labeled speculation/scout. Italian Romance twin is live. Relative productivity of budgetary
flécher pour vs Index 2
réserver vs scout
affecter pour is scout-leaning where the extract lists forms without ranking them. No fake elicitation.
Hierarchy
Same inventory as English earmark. Not three co-arguments of one V predicting a DOC and a transfer. Surface count can name the president, 14M BTC, and new technology — but Purpose is a use-property (type ⟨s,t⟩) via French pour, not a Goal of motion via à / DAT (allocate) and not a HAVE-Recipient (grant). Writing those three as sisters predicts a Goal DAT promote and a spend entailment. French keeps Purpose as pour, and it still refuses Goal DAT on this cloth.
Intended labeling (shared with English)
√EARMARK + Resource (MeasureP ⟨Amount, Denomination⟩ · ACC) + PurpP / Type B (pour Purpose) · RESTRICTED_FOR
Voice introduces Agent / Initiator with authority. Resource is the measuring inner argument — often a Measure QP ⟨n, U⟩ (14M BTC) under ACC. Purpose is a Type B layer outside the first phase of designate: RESTRICTED_FOR(e, m, P), with P a use-property. Optional Beneficiary, Time, or Instrument remain high and unmeasured (extra pour-PPs or peripheral P — or à coerced toward allocate). Spending / transfer / HAVE are not listed results. Packaging (réserver, flécher pour, scout affecter pour) keeps one Purpose geometry; do not invent a sense split.
14M BTC = one MeasureP. Orthography is not extra arity. Amount and Denomination share one Case object. Composition is V(Resource), not V(n)(U). Hom(m, e): the designation is measured by the quantity. Romance quantity clitic en resumes the QP — not a unit stranded from its degree, and not Goal (y tracks venue / dossier, not Goal).
Working hierarchy: Agent > Resource > Purpose (> optional Beneficiary, Time, Instrument — high / peripheral). Resource outranks Purpose for Case, passives, and measuring. What Group B French changes is Case cloth (pour, reject DAT Goal, en). What it does not change is the inventory.
Neo-Davidsonian sketch (entry §7.2 · FR cloth)
∃e [ DESIGNATE(e)
∧ INITIATOR(e, prés_sv)
∧ RESOURCE(e, 14m_btc)
∧ RESTRICTED_FOR(e, 14m_btc, λe′. USE_IN_NEW_TECH(e′))
∧ Hom(14m_btc, e) ]
RESTRICTED_FOR(e, m, P) says: after e, in the relevant budget/legal world, m is available only for eventualities that satisfy P. It does not say that some e′ in P occurs. Contrast √ALLOCATEGOAL: DESIGNATE ∧ THEME ∧ GOAL ∧ optional HAVE — listed third is à-individual / DAT. Contrast grantGIVE: Appl_HAVE required. French spells Purpose as pour, Goal as à / DAT.
French frames · Case clothes
Resource object under ACC; Purpose as pour-PP. There is no productive DOC. Purpose does not become an object. Beneficiary sometimes looks like an applied object in allocate’s DAT, but earmark cloth keeps Beneficiary as pour and refuses Goal DAT promote. Four-place surface: pour Purpose (+ optional Beneficiary / Time). Primary lemmas for the page: réserver / flécher pour (Purpose / earmark hinge; Index 2 réserver also wears the restriction lean). Scout companion affecter pour — Purpose-leaning packing on the affecter hinge; do not merge with live Goal affecter à. Document both primary forms; do not invent a sense split.

MeasureP WH · denomination diagnostics
WH forces Amount ≠ Denomination inside one Case object. Verbal WH sees the Resource MeasureP under ACC, not unit and degree as two objects of earmark. Same MeasureP pattern as payGIVE’s Amount, sell’s Price, chargeFEE’s fee, deduct’s decrement, bet’s Stake, and allocate’s Theme — here the MeasureP is the restricted Resource (ACC), and Purpose stays a selected pour-PP.

Superiority ranks Agent > Resource > Purpose / Beneficiary > (optional Time / Vehicle). Amount and Denomination never compete as two verbal WH-items. Cheap NegQ association tracks the Case object: ACC MeasureP under flécher / réserver. Quantity clitic en resumes the QP (Romance Group B map); y tracks venue / dossier, not Goal. Purpose-pour is selected enough to WH with pour quoi ?; it is not a second ACC and does not promote like Goal. DAT on allouer / affecter à is Goal/Ben allocate cloth, not Purpose.
Geometry · earmark ≠ allocateGOAL ≠ grantGIVE ≠ réserverIndex2 ≠ déduire
In Le président a fléché 14M BTC pour une nouvelle technologie, the BTC is restricted for a use. New technology does not HAVE the coins. Spending is not e2. That is Allocation with Purpose flavour — not Goal-address (allocate / allouer / affecter à), not conferral (grant / accorder / octroyer), not Risk, not Exchange.
- ≠ allocateGOAL · FR / allouer / affecter à. Shared designation, MeasureP, authority, Type B Purpose available, missing spend-true. Split: listed third is Purpose property P via pour (earmark) vs Goal individual y via à / DAT (allocate). Goal DAT / promote (✓ Ne lui a-t-on pas alloué 14M ?); earmark Beneficiary does not (*Ne lui a-t-on pas fléché 14M ? as Goal). HAVE idle on earmark, sliding on allocate. Live twin: allocate-goal-fr.html.
- ≠ grantGIVE / accorder / octroyer. Shared authority and MeasureP available. Split: grant requires Appl_HAVE / HAVE-RIGHT; earmark refuses HAVE as e2 and keeps Purpose as pour. Follow-up Non — le ministère n’a jamais reçu de droits de disposition challenges grant e2; on earmark it is idle (restriction can hold without drawing rights).
- ≠ book / reserve / schedule / Index 2 réserver / planifier as Ben/Time only. Same Allocation family (Index 2 lists those). Split: reserve a cabin pour l’équipe is Beneficiary; schedule pour vendredi is Time; earmark 14M BTC pour une nouvelle technologie is Purpose. Same family of heads; different flavour of the non-measuring inner relation. This page uses Index 2 réserver as companion restriction lean — not a Ben/Time-only collapse.
- ≠ vendre / sell. Sell: Recipient HAS goods; Price stays inside pour. Earmark: Resource is ACC MeasureP of the restriction; pour une nouvelle technologie is Purpose, not Price. No SWAP inversion. (French pour overloads Price vs Purpose — sell keeps Price; this root keeps Purpose.)
- ≠ bet / parier. Shared MeasureP packaging and a non-individual third of type ⟨s,t⟩. Split: bet’s third is settlement Content (Proposition); earmark’s is a use-property (RESTRICTED_FOR). *on a fléché 14M que Trump gagne — Purpose is not Settle(p).
- ≠ deduct / déduire / creditFIN / chargeFEE / payGIVE. Shared MeasureP Hom available. Split: deduct’s pour is Reason (JUSTIFIED_BY) with FROM decrement; creditFIN writes ledger HAS_ON_BOOKS; chargeFEE / pay write levy or Appl_HAVE. Earmark tags a Resource; amount need not leave. Four pours: Purpose (earmark) ≠ Reason (deduct) ≠ Consideration (charge) ≠ Price (sell).
- Restriction-true is e2. A follow-up that denies spending, building the technology, transfer out of the reserve, or HAVE does not deny the earmark event. Un-earmark / reallocate (déflécher / réallouer / désaffecter scout) is a separate event that terminates e2.

Base tree (French · Larson-shell sketch)
VoiceP [ le président

PurpP [ pour [ une nouvelle technologie ] ]
Packaging (same geometry):
flécher pour · réserver · (scout affecter pour)
— Purpose stays pour; Resource stays ACC
allouer / affecter à — Goal cloth; do not merge
Voice introduces Agent with AUTHORITY(x,e) as a selectional / felicity conjunct — not a fifth argument. Presidents, legislatures, CFOs, DAOs, and statutes pass; bare persons need a hat; weather fails. Resource sits as Incremental Theme of the designation under ACC. Purpose attaches as Type B Purp/Res outside the first phase, spelled pour. There is no Recipient HAVE shell and no ACC / DAT promotion of Purpose or Beneficiary as Goal. Putting a promotable à-Goal / DAT clitic in is how the allocate cloth (allouer / affecter à) is written — a different root packaging, not √EARMARK growing a listed Goal.
French assigns ACC to the Resource only. Purpose, Beneficiary, Time, Source are PPs (pour, marked à toward allocate, de). Quantity clitic en resumes the MeasureP. Passive promotes the Resource QP as a whole — never Amount alone, never U alone, never Purpose into subject, never Beneficiary (*Le ministère a été fléché 14M; *Ne lui a-t-on pas fléché 14M ? as Goal).

Same authority filter as allocate; stronger than deduct’s Allocator-ish filter; different from blame’s Judge filter. Inanimates coerce to offices; meteorological subjects do not.

✓ La fondation a accordé au laboratoire 14M BTC. grant · DAT Recipient · HAVE
English’s *earmarked new technology 14M* does not license a French DOC on this root. NegQ cheapness: Resource QP under ACC is cheap; Purpose needs pour; DAT Goal clitic is allocate’s cheap associate — the Romance reason allocate looks more grant-like than earmark.

* N’a-t-on pas fait flécher 14M BTC pour la technologie par le temps ? weather still not inner Allocator
Type A faire over inner EARMARK allows Causee and still forbids Goal DAT promote on this cloth. The Resource stays the inner ACC. Purpose stays Type B. Spend still not entailed under the wrap.

Group B packaging · this tick French Purpose only
Group B (Spanish, French, Italian) keeps the Goal vs Purpose Case split under Neg. Quote §11.2: “Spanish destinar / asignar fondos a vs reservar / afectar para; French allouer / affecter à vs réserver / flécher pour; Italian destinare / stanziare a vs accantonare / vincolare per. DAT / à / a is the allocate Goal and can cliticize; that clitic is a cheap Neg associate and is the Romance reason allocate looks more like grant than earmark does. en / ne tracks the quantity on both. y tracks a venue or dossier, not Goal. para / pour / per remains Purpose. destinar a is the hinge verb: Goal-leaning allocate, still not full HAVE unless coerced toward conceder / otorgar.”
This tick is French earmark only — a fléché 14M BTC pour une nouvelle technologie (ACC Resource, pour Purpose); *Ne lui a-t-on pas fléché 14M au ministère ? as Goal (DAT reject); Beneficiary does not promote. English twin live at earmark.html. Japanese twin live at earmark-ja.html. Spanish twin live at earmark-es.html. Goal twin live at allocate-goal-fr.html. Italian twin live at earmark-it.html.
