- W810883418 abstract "Nordhoff’s chapter presents the parts-of-speech system of Sri Lanka Malay, which consists of verbs, nouns, and adjectives, and argues that the latter are fully flexible parts of speech, which can be used for any discourse function without further measures being taken. The presence of the additional lexical categories of noun and verb distinguishes the Sri Lanka Malay system from other languages with maximally flexible parts of speech, which are monocategorial.Nouns and verbs are recent innovations in Sri Lanka Malay due to influence from the adstrates Sinhala and Tamil, which have rigid parts-of-speech systems. This influence triggered the closer association of object-denoting lexemes with the act of reference, and action-denoting lexemes with the act of predication. This was assisted by already existing derivational processes to restrict discourse functions. Comparing Sri Lanka Malay to other languages, the forerunners of specialized parts of speech appear to be derived lexemes." @default.
