“…Related to this point, it is the fact that relational adjectives in coordination can modify one single plural head noun, while this is impossible for qualifying adjectives (cf. Marchis Moreno 2018) Wholes encoding suffixes (⊆) select complete (individual) entities, as in (20a). In the example, USA is taken as an (individual) whole and China is taken as another (singular) whole.…”

The present paper addresses the categorial content of affixes forming a set of denominal adjectives in Italian, arguing that they are substantially the derivational counterpart of oblique case/adpositions. Specifically, we argue that they act as elementary relators, following Manzini and Franco, who characterized oblique cases and prepositions as general relators expressing the relations is-included (⊆)/includes (⊇), or, in other words, their content is what Belvin and den Dikken dubbed “zonal inclusion”.

Proper name compounds: a comparative perspective

The article discusses compound formation involving proper names from a comparative perspective. While proper names can appear within compounds in English, this is not possible in Greek. The article argues that this follows from a basic difference between English and Greek: English, but not Greek, allows phrases as non-heads of right-headed compounds. As proper names in English are referential in the absence of a determiner, due to the process of D-N merger, they can still be recognized as such within compounds. This is not possible in Greek, where proper names require the presence of a determiner to establish reference.
