Zur Syntax und Semantik von Modalprädikativa

Hagen Pitsch

The current study aims at the semantic as well as the syntactic properties of so-called ’modal predicatives’ (модальные предикативы) which can be found in several (North) Slavic languages such as Russian, Polish, or Czech. Since Ščerba (1928), their grammatical status is under discussion: Which lexical or functional category do they belong to; where are they located in sentence structure, and what is their exact contribution to sentence meaning?

While some linguists have suggested that modal predicatives constitute a separate lexical category (’part of speech’), others brought arguments against such a view, claiming that they are, in fact, predicatively used members of a traditional category such as adverbs, adjectives, or nouns. The current study argues against neither of these assumptions, but brings forward arguments for combining them: Modal predicatives can indeed be treated as adverbs, but are lexically subclassified insofar as they can only be used as predicate expressions.
