| Description | In the article, I look at two constructions that roughly correspond to the English morpheme -ABLE: the first is a synthetic form based on a verb, in which the root is followed by the suffix TEL and the suffix N, while the other is an analytic form with the verb in the infinitive and a form of the verb GIVE and an impersonal SE. I argue for a particular nanosyntactic view of the THEME-TEL-N combination such that the morphemes are a particular spell out of the features that correspond to the paraphrase with the verb GIVE and the morpheme SE. |
