For example, consider the sentence, ""I have never, and will never, put my name on this document."" Here, the verb 'put' acts simultaneously as a past participle (as in ""have never put"") and a base form (as in ""will never put""), and is therefore said to be neutral between the two forms. Similar examples have been found for many languages. The accepted wisdom is that neutrality is possible only for morphosyntactic features such as verb form, gender, number, declension class-not at the level of gross syntact 410 0$aOutstanding dissertations in linguistics. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammatical categories 606 $aSemantics 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 606 $aNeutralization (Linguistics) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammatical categories. 615 0$aSemantics. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 615 0$aNeutralization (Linguistics) 676 $a415 700 $aWhitman$b Neal$f1969-,$0981783 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450433603321 996 $aCategory neutrality$92240699 997 $aUNINA
