Attribution vs. possession in Coptic : The origin and development of an opposition
This paper is intended to reconstruct the process that led to the formal opposition between the patterns
used for expressing possessive and attributive relationships in the Coptic language (Sahidic dialect).
Having explained this opposition on a synchronic level, the following questions should be answered:
What is the source of the formal likeness; How did this system develop, and what were the syntactic
and semantic preconditions for such a grammaticalization? Having identified the common source, an
additional question arises: How come the two constructions still differ, and do not show a complete
formal identity
Possessive Constructions in Egyptian and Coptic. Distribution, definiteness, and the construct state phenomenon
In this paper, the distribution of Coptic possessive constructions is defined in terms of syntactic constraints: the construction involving the linking element N- requires the obligatory (and simple) definiteness of the possessed noun as well as the strict adjacency of regens and rectum. In relation to a comparison made between this Coptic possessive pattern and the so-called construct state phenomenon, a historical overview of the Egyptian language is given to explore the possible reconstruction of a true construct state formation in the earlier language stages
VĂĄltozĂł struktĂșrĂĄk, versengĆ stratĂ©giĂĄk: a mutatĂł nĂ©vmĂĄsi mĂłdosĂtĂłk esete
A nyelvtörtĂ©neti adatok tanĂșsĂĄga szerint, miutĂĄn a hatĂĄrozott nĂ©velĆ grammatikalizĂĄlĂłdott
