dc.description.abstract	This chapter, part of a series of eight, each of which addresses a different topic within the Persian science of meanings (ʿilm-i maʿānī), examines the ‘states of the predicate’ (aḥwāl-i musnad). It considers how nominal and verbal predicates are affected by various operations (occurrence, ellipsis, definite/indefinite reference, shifts in word order), and how particular optional elements (quyūd) can restrict the scope of a predicate. In appropriate contexts, these mechanisms of manipulating utterances can convey secondary meanings beyond the literal value of the utterance. Examples, mainly from Persian poetry, are given as illustrations.

abstract

This chapter, part of a series of eight, each of which addresses a different topic within the Persian science of meanings (ʿilm-i maʿānī), examines the ‘states of the predicate’ (aḥwāl-i musnad). It considers how nominal and verbal predicates are affected by various operations (occurrence, ellipsis, definite/indefinite reference, shifts in word order), and how particular optional elements (quyūd) can restrict the scope of a predicate. In appropriate contexts, these mechanisms of manipulating utterances can convey secondary meanings beyond the literal value of the utterance. Examples, mainly from Persian poetry, are given as illustrations.
