We compare periphrastic (analytic, multiword) constructions with the synthetic (morphological) inflection of verbs, nouns, and adjectives. We summarize recent characterizations starting with the canonical type, in which a syntactic construction realizes cells in an inflectional paradigm which is otherwise defined by morphological features (‘feature ...

‘Verbal’ and ‘Adjectival’ Periphrasis
2016AbstractThis chapter discusses the notions of ‘verbal periphrasis’ and ‘adjectival periphrasis’ from a theoretical point of view. At present, there is no consensus as to which constructions can be classified as ‘periphrastic’. After a critical discussion of some recent proposals, a new approach is suggested, based on the view that categories are ...

Periphrasis and possible lexemes
Periphrasis: The role of syntax and morphology in paradigms. , 2012When examining Periphrasis we naturally analyse the state of the contributing elements and the interplay of syntactic and morphological factors. But if periphrastic forms are part of paradigms, we should also ask how periphrasis affects the notion ‘possible lexeme’.

Periphrasis on the Origin of Rhetoric
MLN, 1979How can one speak about the origin of rhetoric? To put it another way, what logic shall be invoked to account for the moment when persuasive technique first entered language? Philological science has always relied upon the logic of history, and so rhetoric's traces have been located as far back as we have texts which speak-that is, to Homer.

The Phrase-structural Diversity of Periphrasis
2012Periphrastic constructions in related and well-studied languages such as English, German, and French exhibit significant diversity in their syntactic structure. In English the main verb combines with its complements first, whereas in German the main verb combines with the auxiliary first.

The TORNARE-periphrasis in Italo-Romance
2022This chapter examines verbal periphrases involving the originally transitive Latin verb TORNARE ‘turn’ in Italo-Romance. The emergence in late Latin of intransitive uses of TORNARE as a verb of motion meaning ‘return, go back’ prepared the way for early Romance collocations with an infinitive, ‘go back to doing’.

Periphrasis (for a ditto, ditto device)
Reposition, 2017Periphrasis (for a ditto, ditto device) is an experimentally designed scenario in the draft stage, a think-tank and rehearsal for a future exhibition—but Periphrasis (for a ditto, ditto device) is also an exhibition in itself. Starting from the idea of the copy as a nowadays omnipresent yet more and more invisible artistic practice and form, seven ...
