KOSTIĆ, Svetislav. A Syntagmaticon of Hindī Verbo-Nominal Syntagmas

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2015

Abstract

It is an investigation into verbo-nominal syntagmas (VNS) of Hindī language. The aim of the book is to define this phenomenon as accurately as possible and to present its different forms.

VNS consist of two constituents, a nominal constituent (substantive noun) and a verbal constituent. The nominal constituent precedes the verb, e. g. rang (colour) kar'nā (to do) "to colour, to paint".

The essential part of this book is a list of the most frequent syntagmas or expressions of the mentioned type, named Syntagmaticon. This list is an exhaustive collection of verb-noun phrases which have not been compiled in one publication yet.
