Název v původním jazyce

Positional predicates in early Germanic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter addresses a class of adjectival modifiers that has received relatively little attention in the literature. Those modifiers, referred to here as positional pred- icates, differ from “regular” adjectives semantically, syntactically, and, at least in Germanic, morpho-syntactically. Their most outstanding syntactic property is that they precede determiners (prenominally) and combine with pronouns and proper names. On the semantic side, they do not simply modify the noun description, but denote a part–whole relation with respect to the NP referent. Starting out from modern Icelandic, Latin and Greek, I will show that items displaying the same deviant behaviour can also be identified in the early Germanic languages to vary- ing degrees. The evidence across the Germanic languages, however, is not equally strong and we find variation, but the discussion suggests that the extant examples are remnants of a system (a class of modifiers/a special adjectival syntax) that must have been more widespread and productive in older stages of Germanic.
