Non-verbal Predication in the World’s Languages
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Non-verbal Predication in the World’s Languages

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of non-verbal predication in Formosan languages, starting with a brief review of their major nominal and verbal characteristics, before showing how non-verbal predication resembles or differs from verbal predication and explaining the exclusion of certain constructions that should be considered instances of verbal rather than non-verbal predication. A classification of nominal, locative and possessive predication in Formosan languages with their morphosyntactic characteristics follows.
