The syntactic representation of participles has remained a disputed issue
at the centre of linguistic research for some time. Much of the confusion
surrounding participles is the result of their categorial indeterminacy,
which ranges between the category of verbs and adjectives. The blended
categorial properties of participles are mirrored in their flexible syntactic
distribution. For example, participles are flexible enough to fulfil
prototypical adjectival functions in attributive and copular structures,
e.g. ‘the sewed button’ and ‘the button is sewed’, while they may also
exhibit a verbal distribution in periphrastic occurrences, e.g. ‘Duna has
sewed the button’. In such a way, the categorial flexibility of participles
allows for a wide spectrum of different uses.
