Post-predicate Placement and Verbal Reanalysis in Southern Kurdish: Adpositional Elements, Complex Predicates, and Passive Formation
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This research note examines post-predicate placement, complex verbal constructions, and alternative passive formations in Southern Kurdish. It explores the positional behaviour of relational and directional elements, the attachment patterns of the iterative marker -ve, and the relationship between analytic and synthetic passive constructions. The study distinguishes syntactic placement from morphological attachment and considers possible processes of verbal reanalysis and grammaticalization, while treating historical derivations as hypotheses requiring further comparative evidence.
