Abstract

This paper offers a brief survey of the presence of gender distinctions in the parts of speech of Indo-European languages, pointing out the fact that the absence of gender has changed the grammatical forms not only of the Hungarian pronouns but of all of the words connected to a noun in a nominal phrase. The syntagmatic structures based on grammatical agreement by gender influenced not only the moods of determination but also the predicative structure, causing the system of “double” constructions with the predicative attributes and appositions. Instead of these there are a lot of adverbal forms in Hungarian, but a sentence construction can have only one “subject” and one “object”, and Hungarian also has predicative syntagms with zero copula. While the order of these parts of the sentence depends on the functional sentence perspective (where all parts of the construction may be represented by the grammatical form of the predicate instead of pronouns), the word order of the adnominal constructions is strictly defined/fixed.
