  Article:   THE ROMANIAN SUPINE COMPLEMENTING ADJECTIVES, ADVERBS, VERBS, MODALS AND COPULAS.

Authors:  ADRIANA TODEA. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  In a Relational Grammar context, of multistratal syntax, vertical revaluations and demoted elements called chomeurs, the distinction between what we traditionally call in Romanian “participle” and “supine” is syntactic and not morphological in nature. The Romanian participle is a chomeur predicate in a predicate union — a monoclausal structure. The supine is a participle marked by the prepositional complementizer ''de'' which signals that it is the lower clause that is chomeurized, not the internal predicate alone, which leads to a biclausal analysis.
