Question

A namesake “phrase hypothesis” states that in pro-drop languages, these syntactic elements are null rather than absent. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name these linguistic elements whose syntactic complements are nouns. Examples of these elements include articles like “the,” demonstratives like “that,” and pronouns.

ANSWER: determiners [accept D elements; accept DP or DP hypothesis; accept determiner phrase hypothesis]

[10e] In pro-drop Bantu languages, verbs are marked for this property of both the subject and object. Adjectives agree with their head noun for number and this property in French and Spanish.

ANSWER: grammatical gender [accept noun class]

[10m] Bantu languages and Hungarian have this characteristic, where discrete morphemes joined together in one word express distinct information. This characteristic is contrasted with analytic or fusional.
