Secondary predicates in Eastern European languages and beyond. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Secondary predicates in Eastern European languages and beyond

This volume offers descriptive and theoretical studies on depictive secondary predicates in a wide variety of languages. While the focus is on the Middle and Eastern European area, including Slavonic, Baltic, Finno-Ugric, Turkic and Caucasian languages, and on languages of the Balkan Area, the scope of the collection is widened to studies of secondary predication in German and English, in the languages of Morocco and in Classical Aztec. The chapters deal with typological issues of secondary predicates and their debatable universality, with problems of distinguishing secondary predicates from other syntactic categories, with their syntactic status and their distinctive morphological marking. The published papers evolved from papers read at an international symposium on 'Descriptive an theoretical problems of secondary predicates, with emphasis on Middle and Eastern European languages', held at the University of Oldenburg, December 7-10, 2005.
