Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This historical study traces the linguistic origins of French words ending in -à e in modern French (e.g. annà e, journà e), focusing especially on those stemming from Latin perfect participles. The author demonstrates that through a complex evolution over centuries, these nouns have developed multifaceted meanings from a foundation in the Latin Fourth Declension and from both substantival and adjectival participles. Among the central topics discussed are the interplay between neuter plurals and feminine singulars, the semantic shift from abstract meanings to concrete ones, and the role of the participial adjective formation in -atu, -ata. Through investigation of these nuanced relationships, the author presents a well-rounded account of the subject, casting light on the richness and depth of the French language.
