| description | If there are no classes of noun or verb in Tagalog, how can there be noun phrases and verb phrases? This
paper contributes to the discussion on form classes in Tagalog by taking a detailed, inductive, line-by-line look
at the structures and constituents found in a randomly selected Tagalog text, to create a typology of the structures
found therein. It is shown that, while there are very obvious constructions with generally clearly differentiated
functions, they do not correspond with noun phrases and verb phrases in Indo-European languages, as it cannot
be said that one form is used for predication and another for reference. |
