Predicative attribute and its expression in Polish and in German

Zofia Berdychowska · Jagiellonian University Repository (Jagiellonian University) · 2013

Im Beitrag wird versucht das unter verschiedenen Bezeichnungen behandelte, auf Subjekt oder Objekt bezogene Prädikativum aus der Perspektive der Prädikat-Argument-Syntax zu beleuchten. Nach einer kurzen Darstellung verschiedener Auffassungen der im Mittelpunkt stehenden zusätzlichen Prädikation im Satz in der deutschen und in der polnischen Grammatikographie wird die semantisch basierte Prädikat-Argument-Syntax als der theoretische Rahmen für seine Behandlung skizziert und Formalisierungen des prädikativen Attributs im Deutschen und im Polnischen dargestellt und miteinander verglichen.

STUDIES ON PREDICATION IN RUSSIAN, II. ON THE PREDICATIVE USE OF THE RUSSIAN INFINITIVE,

Henrik Birnbaum · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1965

The second part of a study on the complex function of predication and its formal expression in Contemporary Standard Russian (CSR). This Memorandum discusses the predicative use of the Russian infinitive against the background of its entire range of functions (the 'semantic spectrum'). The author surveys the predicative and semi-predicative use of the Russian infinitive; studies its peculiarities by applying certain transformational procedures; and discusses how it expresses predicative categories of time, modality, person, aspect, mode of action. Some suggestions for automatically translating Russian predicative infinitives are included. (Author)

Funkcje składniowe przymiotnika <i>ostatni </i>

Maciej Grochowski · LingVaria · 2025

SYNTACTIC FUNCTIONS OF THE POLISH ADJECTIVE OSTATNI ‘THE LAST’The word ostatni ‘the last’ is one of the ordinal adjectives in contemporary Polish. The unit in question occurs primarily in anteposition to the noun forming nominal phrase. The adjective ostatni is a lexical exponent of the notion of sequence which implies a succession of many (at least three) states of affairs. The unit under discussion is used occasionally but it is monosemic independently of the function performed in a sentence. The adjective ostatni can function as an attribute of the noun, as a predicative expression in basic predicative expression, and as a non-basic predicative expression in a given simple sentence. The unit mentioned above belongs to systemically intratextual adjectives.

GENERAL IN GENERAL INTERPRETATION OF THE PREDICI TION OF THE PREDICITY EVENT

Rakhima Abdullaevna Kurbonova · Scientific reports of Bukhara State University · 2021

Background. The introductory part of the article provides general information, such as the fact that the predicative event is a syntactic category that forms a sentence, giving the content of the sentence the ability to report an event of an objective being. Methods. Methods, on the other hand, explain that predicative, sign (action, quality, and feature) represent the relationship of an object to time and inclination, and thus transform a sentence into a unit that forms and communicates a particular idea. This section also analyzes the level of study of the predicative phenomenon. Results. This part of the article provides information on whether the presence or absence of predicative in the “secondary expression of proposition in multi-predicate devices is a hotly debated issue among linguists. Such data are analyzed with vivid evidence. it is also argued that there is diversity in the approach to predicative.

Numerus und Genus des Prädikatsnomens – Kongruenzkategorien?

Justyna Dolińska · Germanica Wratislaviensia · 2019

Im Deutschen kann das Prädikatsnomen in Numerus und Genus mit dem Subjekt übereinstimmen, muss es aber nicht. Numerus und Genus sind in den Prädikativkonstruktionen eigenständige Kategorien. Das Prädikatsnomen übernimmt vom Subjekt weder Numerus noch Genus. Das Genus des Prädikatsnomens wird durch den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Genus und Sexus des Substantivs bestimmt, der Numerus durch die Semantik.Number and gender of predicative nominal – agreement categories?In the German language, the nominal predicate may but does not have to convene in number and gender with the subject. The number and gender are independent categories in predicate structures. The predicative expression does not receive the number or the gender from the subject. The type of the predicative expression determines the dependency between the grammatical gender and the semantic gender, whereas the number is determined by the noun’s semantics.

Isomorphic co-expression of nominal predication subdomains: An Indo-Iranian case study

Shahar Shirtz · Journal of South Asian Languages and Linguistics · 2019

Abstract This paper explores the isomorphic co-expression of nominal predication subdomains across ten Indo-Iranian languages. Unlike many previous studies, this paper takes into account combinations of structural coding means, and does not limit its scope to the copula. Further this paper does not limit its attention to “primary” strategies and also takes into account “secondary” or “rare” attested strategies. Then, this paper presents a method based on bipartite graphs to visualize and compare patterns by which two subdomains of nominal predication are co-expressed by isomorphic combinations of coding means. The results show that every pair of subdomains is co-expressed at least somewhere across the family. In five of the ten languages studied here, predicative possession is expressed by the coding means usually used for equation or proper inclusion, but never as the main strategy to express predicative possession. This suggests that unlike what scholars have so far assumed, such situations may be crosslinguistically common but intra-linguistically rare. Another surprising result is the rare isomorphic co-expression of predicative possession and predicate location (i. e. with completely identical morphosyntax), but the much more common co-expression of predicative possession and existence. Altogether, this paper highlights the importance of taking into account intra-linguistic variation in morphosyntactic comparison.

Прийменниково-субстантивний комплекс у функції предикатива(на матеріалі української та німецької мов)

Łesia Soliuk · Studia Ucrainica Varsoviensia · 2018

This article focuses on the prepositional-substantive complex as a representant of the predicative relations in the Ukrainian and German sentence structures. Such structures function as predicative. Semantically they are an integral part of the expression informative potential. In the structure of simple semantically complicated sentences prepositional-case forms occupy the determinant members position that store semantic-syntactical relationship types with temporal, causal, conditional, and targeted functions.

Harmen van Benthem

April Graduation, Harmen Van Benthem, Dr. H. Balsters et al. · 1994

This report describes the principles and the implementation of a safety detector for the object-oriented database specification language TM. It contains a brief overview of some safety concepts used in database technology. Generally, safety implies finite results. The safety of a TM specification is not trivial when method calls and predicative expressions are involved. In this report, an algorithm is presented that recognizes a useful subset of all safe predicative expressions. If an expression is found safe, then the safety detector generates an equivalent and evaluable TM expression. This algorithm is implemented in the programming language LIFE, and it will become part of the Database Design Tool that is being developed for TM. In this context it will be used to check whether a predicative expression is finite and to implement these expressions in prototypes of databases specified in TM. Samenvatting Dit verslag beschrijft principes en de implementatie van een safety detector voor...

The Predicative Parts of Speech Except the Verb (ot-kesim) and its Expression in the Language of old Turkic Inscriptions

Qosimjon Sodiqov · Golden Scripts · 2020

The type of predicate that is called ot-kesim (predicative parts of speech except the verb) in traditional grammar is relative. Because the predicate of the sentences with ot-kesim (predicative parts of speech except the verb) are not only formed with such as noun, adjective, numeral or pronoun. Those that we consider them as predicate (in the group of Name including noun, adjective, pronoun, etc.) are followed by the copulas that are -turur, -durur (in present-day Uzbek language: -dir “in English -dir is to be”) which logically refer to emphasis. In all sentences with ot-kesim (predicative parts of speech except the verb), the copula is logically required instead of a predicate, and the predicate of such as sentences with ot-kesim (predicative parts of speech except the verb) returns again to the verb. Although they are the sentences with ot-kesim (predicative parts of speech except the verb), the predicate is logically required in the structure of a sentence. The state of being a predicate of the words except for a verb can be considered the result of historical-linguistic progress that lasted for more than a hundred years. In this article the sentences with ot-kesim (predicative parts of speech except the verb), and the factors of their origin are discussed, using the example of inscriptions.

SEMANTIC-SYNTACTIC ASPECT OF ANTHROPOCENTRICITY OF UKRAINIAN LITERATURE OF THE LATE 20TH – EARLY 21ST CENTURIES

Olha Turko, Тетяна Олендр · Annals of the University of Craiova Series Philology Linguistics · 2022

The article deals with the lexical-grammatical nature of half-predicative appositive units as idiolect markers of Ukrainian literature of the late 20th - early 21st centuries, and the type of semantic-syntactic connection between the identified component of the separated substantive unit and the appositive unit. One-word half-predicative units have been described in relation to the signified component in terms of semantic and grammatical indices; phrasal, coordinating series and sub-appositive separated components have been analyzed by the nature of the morphological expression of an appositive unit. In addition, the models of half-predicative appositive units have been described by the valency of the appositive unit with the attributive syntaxemes. The research has proved grammatical interdependence between the identified component and the half-predicative appositive unit, which is manifested in the literary context. All selected examples to designate the denotative field “man” are composed by continuous writing out, which testifies their frequency and idiolectivity.

Predicative Use of Indefinite Pronominal NPs Containing an Adjective in the Romance Languages and English

Reidar Veland · Studia Neophilologica · 2016

Both English and the Romance languages allow, to varying degrees, adjectives to alternate, in predicative position, with certain types of indefinite NPs containing an adjective. This article describes the indefinite constructions in question and the language-specific limits on their predicative use. It also explores the general conditions favouring the choice of one or the other of these complex constructions in lieu of an expression of the category AdjP. Focus widening seems to be a key concept. The languages considered in the article are English, French, Italian, Romanian and Spanish.
