Reference to and via properties: the case of Slovak

Reference via adjectives typically requires an intermediate step: nominalization through overt derivational affxing. However, many languages allow even unaffixed adjectives to be used referentially. This thesis is a case study of this use of adjectives (called adjectival determiner phrases or A-DPs)...

No obstant això, moltes llengües permeten l'ús referencial també dels adjectius escarits. Aquesta tesi és un estudi de cas d'aquest ús d'adjectius (anomenats A-DPs) en eslovac. Basant-me en les dades de corpus descric la seva sintaxi i semàntica. A rmo que els A-DPs en eslovac, contràriament a les nominalitzacions derivades, no contenen en la seva estructura una capa nominal. Demostro que els dos signi cats identi cats dels A-DPs estan derivats de la naturalesa dels mateixos adjectius, i específi cament del fet de que la representació semàntica conté dues variables, una per l'atribut expressat per l'adjectiu i una altra que correspon al portador d'aquest atribut. Altres qüestions que aborda aquesta tesi inclouen la comparació de l'estratègia de la nominalització amb i sense afi xos així com el paper i la distribució dels determinants en els A-DPs en eslovac a causa de la seva interacció amb l'estructura informativa.Programa de doctorat en Traducció i Ciències del LlenguatgeUniversitat Pompeu FabraMcNally, LouiseUniversitat Pompeu Fabra.
