<div>Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I am looking for publications that address the difference between (1) and (2). In (2), the English adjective
<i>poor</i> is used to signal the speaker's sympathy or affection towards the dog.<br>
<ol>
<li><i>The dog is waiting for its owner.</i> </li><li><i>The poor dog is waiting for its owner.</i> </li></ol>
While English (and my native German) does this by extending the meaning of the adjective
<i>poor </i>(and <i>arm</i> in German), other languages have special words with only that meaning. For example, Komnzo
<i>bana </i>is a postposed adjective that only conveys sympathy. <br>
<br>
<i> ni bananzo namnzr karen.</i><br>
<i> </i>ni bana=nzo na\m/nzr kar=en<br>
1NSG SYMP=only 1PL:NPST:IPFV/stay village=LOC<br>
'Only we poor guys stay behind in the village' (subtext: 'while the others are going to the celebration in the neighbouring village')<br>
(NSG = non-singular, SYMP = sympathy marker, NPST = nonpast)<br>
<br>
Yet other languages seem to have special verb morphology for this. Van Tongeren describes this for Suki (her PhD grammar will probably be available later this year).<br>
<br>
Pointers to more examples and publications of this are most welcome. I was googling this with keywords like "sympathy", "empathy", "affection", but with not much luck. So there might be a whole literature on this phenomenon under different terminology. If that's
the case, then please excuse my ignorance.<i><br>
</i><br>
Very Best,<br>
Christian<br>
