Abstract

Participles are by nature dual categories and their adjectivization poses a theoretical problem in word formation primarily because it is precisely the identical syntactic functions of adjective and passive participle that enable the adjectivization. Between the verbal participles and fully adjectivized passive participles (i.e. adjectives), there is a number of mixed forms that cannot be interpreted unambiguously. The three points on the scale between verbs and adjectives are the subject of this paper, which aims to detect the degree in which participles are adjectivized in the corpus of the Second Beram Breviary database of the Center of Scholarly Excellence for Croatian Glagolitism. The results were used to study the way in which this theoretically problematic phenomenon is reflected in lexicography, which by its nature tends to precision and unambiguity.
