Reflections on the origin and development<br />

of adverbial complements in postposition<br />

The aim of this paper is to describe the origin, the grammatical categorization<br />

and the use of (the so called) adverbial complements in postposition<br />

(with attributive function). The original structure is reconstructed as Pestre<br />

való utazás ’travelling to Pest’ (literally: ’to Pest being journey’), which presumably<br />

belongs to the innovations of the Proto-Ugric language. The structure<br />

Pestre utazás (literally: ’to Pest journey’), which is almost equal to the<br />

previous structure (only the participle is missing), has been developed later.<br />

Even though the structure including the present participle form of van or lesz<br />

’to be’ can only be found in the Ugric languages, other Finno-Ugrian languages<br />

also have the same structure with participles formed from other verbs.<br />

Obviously, the adverbial complement as a preposition (in attributive function)<br />

is in connection with the original SOV word order of the Finno-Ugrian<br />

languages, which implies the fact that the attribute goes before the nouns.<br />

The appearance of adverbial complements as postpositions in the Finno-Ugrian<br />

languages (utazás Pestre) is due to the long and intensive connection<br />

with the neighbouring SVO word order Indo-European languages.<br />
