of English and cross-linguistic patterns of “suspended” morphology in coordinate
constructions. With respect to the latter, some languages allow or prefer morphological
marking on an element of just one conjunct, where there are parallel elements
in the other conjuncts, as in Turkish noun inflection (1).
(1) a. ev-ler-de ve dükkan-lar-da
house-pl-loc and shop-pl-loc
‘in houses and shops’
b. ev ve dükkan-lar-da
house- and shop-pl-loc
‘in houses and shops’ (based on Kabak 2007: 335)
Closer to linguistic home, one can observe this phenomenon in English compounding
and derivation, as shown in (2).
(2) a. we can’t choose between socio- and psycholinguistics
b. a heart- and soulless organization
The paper will conclude that where in Early or Late Modern English structures
such as (3) occur, they can be similarly motivated.
(3) My soul, I resign into the hands of my Almighty Creator, whose tender mercies are
over all His works who hateth nothing that He hath made and to the Justice and
Wisdom of whose dispensation I willing and cheerfully submit (Mason 1792)
Whether these zero adverbs can and should be analyzed the same way as the
Turkish inflection or English word-formation examples, however, is another
question. The chapter will suggest that while both a paradigmatic selection analysis
(Pounder 2004) and a suspended affixation analysis (Kabak 2007) could be applied,
the systemic availability of the zero-derived adverb makes the former theoretically
preferable. However, the available data shows that there are some cases in which a
suspended affixation or morphological ellipsis analysis must be invoked.
Section 2 of the paper will review the historically available options for deadjectival
adverb formation, while Section 3 will focus on the available patterns
of morphological marking of derived adverbs in coordinate constructions in
Early and Late Modern English. The chronological focus is placed on English
from about 1600 to about 1800, although excursions are made in both directions
where relevant. The data is selected from the sources listed in the References
section; the investigation is based on the corpora and works listed there in their
entirety, as well as many additional literary and non-literary texts which provided
no examples of adverbs in coordination at all or none of the minority types
outlined in Sections 2 and 3. In the subsequent sections, our attention turns to
the theoretical issues of how to interpret the use of zero forms in coordinate
constructions in English adverb-formation (Section 4) and what relation it bears
