- Title
ON RECENT-BIL DERIVATIVES IN ROMANIAN.

TĂNASE-DOGARU, MIHAELA
- Abstract
The paper investigates a corpus of 72 recent-bil derivatives, used mainly in contemporary Romanian journalese (Croitor 2021). The paper shows that-bil adjectives in Romanian fall into two categories: fully eventive adjectives, characterized by the presence of by-phrases and/or adverbial event modifiers and fully stative adjectives, simply indicating a property of the referent (Oltra-Massuet 2013). A second result of the analysis is the fact that the boundary between the two identified classes is blurry, in the sense that-bil adjectives actually form a continuum from eventive adjectives to fully stative-bil adjectives (Wasak 2021). Thirdly, the productivity of-bil can be explained by means of usefulness, fashion, and nameability (Plag 2002).
