The aim of this work is to analyze the usage of adjectival subordinate clauses in the 20th century. On that purpose, we have examined an ample corpus from a descriptive point of view. On the other hand, the description and real-use data may be important for determining the standard use of those structures.
We have analyzed 17 words (beldur, esperantza, itxaropen, susmo, uste, etc.) and the form of the adjectival sentences which are typically associated with them, bearing in mind their frequency and dialect. We show that there is a larger proportion of adjectival clauses with non-inflected verbs. As for those examples in which the verb appears inflected, verbal nouns are more common than participles, and the most common subordinating affix is -n, and less frequently -la. The structures with -lakoaren, -laren, -naren and -neko, whose usage has increased considerably during this century, are a lot less common.
