How to be short: Some remarks on the syntax of Russian adjectives

Ora Matushansky
CNRS/UMR-7023

RESUME:

Russian adjectives come in two forms: the long one and the short one. 
Since short forms can appear only in the predicate position, it has been 
argued (Babby (1973, 1975), Bailyn (1994), Siegel (1976) and Pereltsvaig 
(2001), among others) that they are obligatorily attributive. In this 
presentation I offer new data in favor of this hypothesis and address 
three apparent counterexamples, where long-form adjectives do not behave 
like NPs. I will then discuss the fact that short-form adjectives are 
excluded from some predicate positions and propose a hypothesis 
motivating this exclusion.
