Resumen de Predicate nominals in eventive copular sentences

Isabelle Roy

• This paper presents a comparative study of predicate nominals in eventive copular sentences. I am concerned with languages that grammaticalize the contrast between eventive and non-eventive copular sentences, and I discuss here three cases: the optionality of the indefinite article in French and German, the two verbs �to be� in Irish, and case marking in Russian.
