Contoh participle

• Let us now consider why it suffices to recognize just one verbal suffix that forms participles.

• In view of this, we could expect the subject gerunds to be the first to acquire the verbal traits characteristic of the participle.

• This is typically true of transpositions such as participles.

• Other examples include certain types of participle in languages with rich conjugation systems.

• Unlike with plain adjectival complements, where such an interpretation cannot lead to morphosyntactic or event-structural reanalysis, with adjectival passive participles it can and does.

• In the former, reflexive clitics do not agree in person or number with the syntactic subject and attach to the participle in compound past tenses.

• This is useful, since prenominal participles show exactly the same variation and constraints as adjectives.
