Arguments and adjuncts in morphology and syntax of West Circassian (Adyghe)
The paper analyzes the expression of participants by morphological and syntactic means in the polysynthetic West Circassian (Adyghe) language with respect to their characteristics as arguments or adjuncts. It is shown that the distinction between arguments and adjuncts in West Circassian is gradual rather than discrete. In addition, the same participant may be introduced as an adjunct in morphology but as an argument in syntax but not as an adjunct in syntax but as an argument in morphology.
