Summary

This chapter addresses secondary predicates (SPs), those elements conveying an additional predication on top of the first predication featured by the main verbal form. Slavic secondary predicates follow the regular pattern, typical of most Indo-European languages, of a non-verbal element related to an argument in the clause. Having defined the concept, the author discusses the following types of this phenomenon in Slavic languages: (a) depictive secondary predication and (b) regular (final state) and trajectory resultative constructions. She also presents non-verbal predicates in argument position, which share some features with secondary predication.
