How Conservative Is the Morphology of Hachijō? A Few Comparative Reflections on the <i>rentaikei</i>/<i>shūshikei</i> Distinction in Japonic Languages

Étienne Baudel

Abstrak

The opposition between ‘adnominal’ (rentaikei 連体形) and ‘final’ (shūshikei 終止形) forms of verbs and adjectives is one of the most-commented features of the Hachijō language, as it is considered both a remarkable archaism and a possible argument towards its classification within the Japonic language family. This article is dedicated to a description of this opposition in Hachijō, in comparison with other Japonic languages, and especially with Eastern Old Japanese.
