Description
Summary:This paper examines the Syriac grammatical tradition within the framework of “Greek extended grammar”. A first section analyses the evolution of the system of parts of speech, which evolved, between the 6th and 13th centuries, from a Syriac translation of the Technè grammatikè of (Pseudo) Dionysius Thrax. A second section focuses on the category of participle and its treatment by the various Syriac grammarians. The article shows how, in Syriac grammars, the notion of participle does not apply to a morphological category, but rather to a syntactic structure.
