Definitions

  1. Occurring before the subject in a sentence or expression.

    • Presubject elements may be conjunctions, prepositional groups, nonfinite clauses, or whole dependent clauses that precede the grammatical subject of the main clause.
    • Tense/aspect/mood (tam) particles furnish a broad range of conjugation patterns (i.e. patterns in which verb stem can appear) and can be subdivided into two positional classes of preverbal and presubject particles.
    • These may occur in presubject position, prepredicate position, within the verb phrase, preceding equated attributives, and final to the clause.
