| Abstract: | This paper focuses on Romanian diachronic data with adjectival predicates under intensional verbs (consider-Adj. types). Due to their salient diachronic stability w.r.t important structural properties, these constructions are relevant to the research on small clauses and to the investigations on Romanian DPs and DOM strategies. It is proposed that a complex predicate analysis employing a Multiple Agreement Mechanism is able to derive the strong/specific readings of the shared arguments under discussion; the variation in the DOM marking of pronouns is correlated to a plausibly more recent development of the definiteness scale for differential marking in Romanian, complementary to the animacy scale. |
