Acta Universitatis Wratislaviensis No 3086, Anglica Wratislaviensia XLVI. — Wrocław, 2008. — p. 119-129. The aim of this paper is to present a preliminary version of a model accounting for selected morphological, semantic and syntactic features of the Welsh noun phrase. Before we concentrate on our model of grammar, it will be useful to provide a brief description of the Welsh...
Word, 2005, № 56:1, p. 39-70. Phrasal verbs (PVs) are combinations of a verb of movement or action (get, put, make, etc.) plus a directional particle (back, out, in, etc.). Some PVs are transparent (go up, come back) while others are idiomatic (e.g. run up a bill). PVs are often associated with English, but Welsh and its sister Brythonic languages have long made use of literal...
Word, 1991, № 42:1, p. 19-29. In the Brythonic languages-in Welsh more commonly than in Cornish and Breton-a construction is encountered in which the verbal noun (a more satisfactory term than 'infinitive') performs the function of a finite verb. It that role it does not act eliptically, or anaphorically, for it can begin a work (an essay, article, letter-not frequently a novel)...
Word, 1977, № 28:1-2, p. 146-165. The very substantial gap between literary and colloquial Welsh referred to by Pilchl is well exemplified in the form, function, and syntax of the personal pronoun. The fullest published account of the Welsh personal pronoun up to the present is that found in the works of Morris-Jones. Later grammarians seem merely to have followed -almost...
Word, 1986, № 37:3, p. 141-151. The purpose of this note is to serve as a word of caution to general linguists concerning the use of Welsh data. Not that there is anything uniquely peculiar about Welsh; it is clear the same situation holds for a number of other attested languages (for instance Classical Arabic; cf. Rabin 1955). But the lack of caution referred to is evident in...
Word, 1988, № 39:3, p. 201-224. In most grammars and dictionaries of Welsh, the verb is cited in a form traditionally called the verbal noun or verb-noun (W. berfenw). However, while the traditional treatment of Welsh grammar (e.g. Morris-Jones, 1921) does identify these forms as nouns, most handbooks and Welsh-English dictionaries also describe them as uninflected verb forms and...
