| Abstract: | F'din il-kitba nuru d-distinzjoni Ii teżisti bejn il-forma morfoloġika u l-funzjoni tagħha. F'dan l-istudju, Ii jiffoka fuq il-partijiet tal-ġisem fil-Malli, naraw kif żviluppa l- għadd imtenni Ii sinkronikament, f'ċerti kuntesti paradigmatiċi, sar mhux biss esponcnt tal-pluraI iżda wkoll tas-singular. Dan il- proċess ta' bidla u żvilupp hu kkawżat mis- sinkretiżmu. ll-forma li tagħti bidu għal dal-proċess hija l-forma tal- għadd imtenni. B’konsegwenza ta' dan il-fenomenu paradigmatiku, il-forma titlef il-funzjoni oriġinali tagħha kif ser nuru f'dan l-istudju. Filwaqt Ii nistudjaw is- sinkretiżmu fi ħdan il-paradigma, naraw fenomeni oħra ta' interess. Fost l-oħrajn nosservaw il-forzi Ii qegħdin iżidu fil-kumplessita morfoloġika, bħal ma hija l-forza intema Ii twassal għal-livellar paradigmatiku. |
