This paper traces the history of the concept of the syntactic category
ākupeyar
‘referent shifting noun’ in Tamil grammatical tradition and its transformation into a semantic category and the role of Sanskrit grammatical thoughts in the transformation. Theoretically limited number of
ākupeyar
s multiplies and the semantic (referential) shift between nouns becomes layered. A shared syntactic of
ākupeyar
with
vēṟṟumai-p peyar
‘case carrying noun’ loses its importance when the discussion of the former turns to semantics. The discussion turns to the difference of the semantic shift in
ākupeyar
and the headless compound
aṉmoḻittokai
. In modern literary and other communication studies,
ākupeyar
is equated with trope.

In this contribution, I investigate the conceptual and terminological relation between ‘prepositions’

and
Torres Rubio’s (1616)
Aymara grammars. These morphemes are
classified as prepositions or inflectional markers, or even...

Compound structures serve as an indispensable syntactic and grammatical component within the Tamil grammatical tradition. Tolkappiyar classifies these compound structures into six distinct categories. Among these, two divergent perspectives currently exist regarding the structure and definition of case compounds. One s...

The paper argues that developments and changes in relative-clause formation in Ukrainian since the end of the 18th c. are due to lexical variation between a relative particle, typically ščo ‘that’, with or without a resumptive pronoun, and the relative pronouns jakyj and kotryj ‘which’. This repertory of relativisers i...
