Appositive constructions
quickinfo
In appositive constructions, the predicate is an optional addition to a nominal argument. The predicate is not integrated in the outer structure:
Example 1
| Gurbe, dronken, sljurke by de sleatswâl del |
| Gurbe drunk slid at the ditch.side down |
| Gurbe, drunk, slid down the side of the ditch |
readmore
If an adjective can be construed with the verb wêzebe, it can also be used appositively. Put differently, an apposition is interpreted semantically as a predication that is equivalent to one mediated by the verb to be. This can be illustrated with the help of an idiomatic combination. Alongside deilis wêzebe at odds, there is also deilis reitsje / wurdegetting to be at odds; there are no other examples. In an apposition as below, the interpretation is that of being, not of getting to be at odds:
Example 2
| a. | De buorlju binne / reitsje / wurde deilis | ||||||||||||||
| the neighbours are become become at.odds | |||||||||||||||
| The neighbours are / become / getting to be at odds | |||||||||||||||
| b. | De buorlju, (al jierren) deilis | ||||||||||||||
| the neighbours already years at.odds | |||||||||||||||
| The neigbours, already years at odds | |||||||||||||||
