| Description | Based on their morphology, Czech adjectives can be divided into at least three classes. The first class of adjectives has the suffix n in between the root and the agreement marker, e.g., jem-n-ý ‘smooth,’ The second class of adjectives has the suffix k, e.g., leh-k-ý, In the third class, the obligatory agreement marker attaches to the bare root, e.g., slab-O-ý ‘weak.’ In this paper, we present an analysis of these three classes in Nanosyntax (Starke 2018), relying on the notion of root size (Caha, De Clercq, Vanden Wyngaerd 2019). |
