单词 | state construct |
释义 | > as lemmasstate construct 2. adj. in construct state, state construct, in grammar of Hebrew and other Semitic languages: the form of the substantive used when standing before another having an attributive (or genitive) relation to it, which may be translated by the nominative (or other case) followed by of, as ˈbayith house, bēyth-ĕlōˈhīm house of God.It is distinctive of the Semitic languages that in expressing such a notion as house of God, they do not, like the Aryan languages, put God in the genitive, but, retaining this unchanged, put house in the ‘state construct’. In this form the substantive becomes accentually combined with that which follows, losing its independent stress, and undergoing various consequent changes, as loss or lightening of vowels, of inflectional consonants, etc. ΘΚΠ the mind > language > linguistics > study of grammar > a part of speech > noun > [adjective] > construct form of noun constructed1785 construct1821 1737 A.
