| summary | Russian adjectives come in two forms : the long one and the short one. Since short forms can appear only in the predicate position, it has been argued (Babby (1973, 1975), Bailyn (1994), Siegel (1976) and Pereltsvaig (2001), among others) that they are obligatorily attributive. In this presentation I offer new data in favor of this hypothesis and address three apparent counterexamples, where long-form adjectives do not behave like NPs. I will then discuss the fact that short-form adjectives are excluded from some predicate positions and propose a hypothesis motivating this exclusion. |
