| Citazioni | Nonnuclear constituents may combine to form a discontinuous peripheral immediate constituent. For example, in the Kekchi data [...] we noted that the third person plural possessor consists of a prefix and a suffix [...]. The nuclear immediate constituent may also occur in a discontinuous form. For example, in the word 'sons-in-law' the nuclear immediate constituent is 'son...-in-law' and the peripheral immediate constituent is '-s'. |
