AN APPROACH TO THE NOMINAL PREDICATES IN ENGLISH AND ROMANIAN

Journal Title: Studii de Gramatica Contrastiva - Year 2017, Vol 27, Issue 27

Abstract

The paper is meant to be an approach to the use of nominal predicates in English and Romanian. In English there are two kinds of nominal predicates: the nominal predicate proper, concerned with the state or quality of the subject, and the double/complex predicate, which is a rather widespread form in English. In Romanian nominal predicates can be split into two categories: the proper nominal predicate, made up of a predicative and the copula “a fi” and the verbal nominal predicate, made up of a predicative and a lexical and grammatical copula. The predicative achievement within the nominal predicate structure is often similar to the subject achievement.
