A Comparison of Adjectives of the Type -able/-telný in English and Czech
Original language description
This paper compares the morpho-syntax of adjectives with the suffix -telný in Czech and -able adjectives in English which are often considered functionally equivalent. In English,-able is considered to be of two separate types. The first type (-able; predictable) attaches to verb stem to derive adjectives of a transparent compositional meaning, whereas the second type (-able/- ible; risible) derives compositionally opaque adjectives. Descriptive grammars of Czech categorize -telný as deriving adjectives of passive possibility, and these adjectives seem to have transparent compositional meaning. The objective of this paper is to analyze and compare the morphosyntax of the adjective-deriving suffix -able and -telný in the two languages in the framework of Distributed Morphology. Whereas in English the -able adjectives are of root-derived and v-derived types, this analysis of -telný concludes that in Czech all such adjectives contain verbal properties; they are of the v-derived type. Root-derived structure is not attested.
