Document Details : Title: The 'Tautlogical Infinitive' in Coptic Subtitle: A Structural Examination Author(s): SHISHA-HALEVY, Ariel Journal: Journal of Coptic Studies Volume: 1 Date: 1990 Pages: 99-127 DOI: 10.2143/JCS.1.0.583373 Abstract : The author studies the construction called the 'tautological', 'absolute' or 'paronomastic' infinitive, in which an infinitive is followed by a homolexemic (or otherwise related) finite verbal form, the two constituting together a single clause pattern. This construction is scanned for some of its most striking formal and functional, paradigmatic and syntagmatic aspects of significance and implication. |
