DUAL DERIVATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY OF ADJECTIVAL-CUM-ADVERBIAL MARKERS IN URDU: A GENERATIVE ANALYSIS
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
The present work analyzes the dual derivational productivity of the Urdu adjectival-cum-adverbial markers. The core purpose of the present work is to scrutinize the dual productive markers with structural, percolational, and functional perspectives. The significance of the study lies in the dual productivity of certain markers with one adjectival and other adverbial realization in morphology-syntax nexus. The adjectival-cum-adverbial markers are examined within the framework of Generativism and Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) with purposive sampling technique. The present study uses morphological attribute value matrix (MAVM) to highlight functions of each morpheme. This work brings to the surface that the dual productivity is triggered from the prefixes as adjectival-cum-adverbial markers accompanying the nominal roots. The complex derivation captures the representative structures generalizable on the other derivatives. The dual derivational paradigm is expected to contribute to the derivative theory and may work equally for other Indo-Aryan languages, as their word structure contains similar formal properties as possessed by the Urdu complex derivatives.
