Further verbal characteristics of Latin predicate nouns
[EN] Events are prototypically expressed by verbs, but predicate nouns are also able to denote states of affairs. In this paper, we intend to analyse the verbal features of these nouns with a twofold purpose: on the one hand, we attempt to align the treatment of their complementation structures with Functional Grammar, addressing the different semanticGarz?n Fontalvo, Eveling, Tur, Cristina
