原始印欧语小品词

原始印欧语小品词(particle:质点、粒子)已经被现代语言学家重构了,基于了跨越所有印欧语系语言所找到的相似性。本文列出并讨论它们的假定形式。

副词

编辑

用做后置和前置的副词

编辑

很多小品词可以用作副词后置词二者。这类似于现代语言;比较一下英语的“He is above in the attic”(副词)和“The bird is above the house”(前置词)。除了安纳托利亚语族印度-伊朗语族萨比尼语,和退化于拉丁语古希腊语中之外,在后代语言中后置词变成了前置词。[1]

未翻译的反映和 PIE 词有相同的意义。

在下列语言中,两个反映用斜杠分开意味着:

否定词

编辑

可以重构两个否定词 *ne*mē,后者只用于否定性命令。所谓的否定前缀(pivative prefix) *n̥- 可能是 *ne零等级

从形容词派生的副词

编辑

从形容词派生出的副词(比如英语的 bold-ly, beautiful-ly)可论证的不能归类为小品词。在原始印欧语中,它们简单的是形容词的格形式因此更好分类为名词。例如 *meǵh₂“greatly”,是主格-宾格单数。[5]

连词

编辑

重构了下列连词:[6]
