Dative measure phrases modifying ADJs and ADVs
In the examples below, only the dative projects NP-MSR modifying either adverbs or adjectives (since those don't measure anything).
The ADJs of the following type of ADJPs are modified by a (bold) dative NP-MSR, see also NP-CMP when meaning is comparative:
- skömmu síðar (whole thing is ADVP-TMP)*
The following datives (bold) project an NP-MSR that modifies ADJP
- þeim mun verri
- miklu skemmtilegri
- sýnu betri
- því betri
(IP-SUB (NEG eigi-ekki) (MDPS muni-munu) (NP-SBJ (PRO-N hún-hún)) (NP-OB2 (PRO-A oss-ég)) (ADJP (NP-MSR (D-D því-það)) (ADJR-N betri-góður) (NP (N-G áheits-áheit)) (PP (P en-en) (CP-CMP (WADJP-3 0) (C 0) (IP-SUB (ADJP *T*-3) (NP-SBJ (OTHERS-N aðrir-annar)))))
Measure phrase of distance
( (IP-MAT-SPE (CONJ en-en) (ADVP-TMP (ADV nú-nú)) (RDPI verð-verða) (NP-SBJ (PRO-N ég-ég)) (IP-INF-SPE (IP-INF-SPE (TO að-að) (VB fara-fara)) (CONJP (CONJ og-og) (IP-INF-SPE (TO *) (VB hóa-hóa) (NP-OB1 (NS-D kindu$-kind) (D-D $num-hinn)) (NP-MSR (ADV dálítið-dálítið) (ADJR lengra-langt)) (RP fram-fram) (RP eftir-eftir))))
Measure phrase of time
For ages:
Hann var sextán vetra (gamall).
(ADJP (NP-MSR (NUM-G þriggja-þrír) (NS-G ára-ár))
(ADJ-N gömul-gamall))))))
( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (PRO-N Hann-hann)) (BEDI var-vera) (PP (NP-MSR (NUM-G fimmtíu-fimmtíu) (NS-G ára-ár)) (P að-að) (NP (N-D aldri-aldur))) (. .-.)))
And other periods of time:
( (IP-MAT (VBDI lá-liggja) (NP-SBJ (PRO-N hún-hún)) (PP (P í-í) (NP (PRO-D því-það))) (NP-MSR (ADJ lengi-lengi) (NP (N-G sumars-sumar))) (. .-.)))
"Allt í einu", and the like are measure phrases of time:
(NP-MSR (Q-N allt-allur) (PP (P í-í) (NP (ONE-D einu-einn))))
(NP-MSR (ONE-N einn-einn)
(N-N dag-dagur)
(PP (P í-í)
(NP (ONE-D einu-einn))))
Measure phrase of degree
OF MIKIÐ
(VBDI lét-láta) (NP-SBJ (PRO-N hann-hann)) (NEG ekki-ekki) (IP-INF (NP-SBJ (N-A konu-kona) (NP-POS (PRO-A sína-sinn))) (HVPI hafa-hafa) (NP-MSR (ADV of-of) (Q-N mikið-mikið)) (PP (P undir-undir) (NP (NS-D höndum-hönd))))
(CP-THT-SPE-PRN-1 (C að-að) (IP-SUB-SPE (NEG ekki-ekki) (VBPI elska-elska) (NP-SBJ (PRO-N ég-ég)) (NP-OB1 (PRO-A þig-þú)) (NP-MSR (Q-A minna-lítill) (PP (P en-en) (CP-CMP-SPE (WNP-2 0) (C 0) (IP-SUB-SPE (NP-MSR *T*-2) (NP-SBJ (PRO-N hin-hinn) (NS-N börn$-barn) (D-N $in-hinn) (NP-POS (PRO-N mín-minn))))))) (. ;-;)))))
NP-MSR heading ADJP
LANGUR can project an NP-MSR, which in turn projects an ADJP, as in the following example:
( (IP-MAT-SPE (NP-SBJ-1 (ES Það-það)) (BEPS sé-vera) (ADJP (NP-MSR (ADJ-N langt-langt)) (PP (P frá-frá) (NP (PRO-D mér-ég)))) (CP-THT-SPE-1 (C 0) (IP-SUB-SPE (NP-SBJ (PRO-N eg-ég)) (VBPS hugsi-hugsa) (NP-OB1 (Q-A nokkuð-nokkur)) (PP (P til-til) (NP (D-G þeirra-sá) (NS-G efna-efni))))) (. .-.)
In this way, the Icelandic example above is treated the same way as the English construction in "I am far from patient", as in the example below from the PPCEME:
(ADVP-RSP (ADV Yet))
(NP-SBJ (D this)
(LATIN (FW Caput) (FW mortuum)))
(BED was)
(ADJP (NP-MSR (ADJP (ADVR so) (ADJ far)))
(PP (P from)
(IP-PPL (HAG having)
(VBN lost)
(NP-ACC (PRO$ its) (ADJ Electrical) (N Faculty))))
(ID BOYLE-E3-H,25E.82)
Other kinds of examples
Frá hinum minnsta til ins mesta
(NP-MSR (PP (P from) (NP (D the) (ADJS lest))) (PP (P to) (NP (D the) (ADJS greatest)))) ... (. .)) (ID TYNDNEW-E1-P2,VIII,1A.167))
