This paper deals with the distribution of Albanian past participles, which are found in compound and periphrastic verbal tenses; in non-finite verbal forms, such as infinitives and gerunds; in combination with particles or prepositions in sentences expressing a temporal value; with impersonal modal verbs, in sentences expressing necessity; in stative contexts; in absolute participle constructions. Albanian participles have two different morphological forms: a synthetic invariable, uninflected verbal form, and a pre-articulated form, which corresponds to an adjective or to a neuter noun. The analysis identifies distinct participle structures that differ in terms of type and syntactic size of the constituent with which the participle combines.

Abstract
This paper deals with the distribution of Albanian past participles, which are found in compound and periphrastic verbal tenses; in non-finite verbal forms, such as infinitives and gerunds; in combination with particles or prepositions in sentences expressing a temporal value; with impersonal modal verbs, in sentences expressing necessity; in stative contexts; in absolute participle constructions. Albanian participles have two different morphological forms: a synthetic invariable, uninflected verbal form, and a pre-articulated form, which corresponds to an adjective or to a neuter noun. The analysis identifies distinct participle structures that differ in terms of type and syntactic size of the constituent with which the participle combines.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
