ABSTRACT

In thiR chapter I follow the lines which I laid down in a paper reAd before tile Philological l40dety of Copenhagen, on the S th of May 1894. Un[ortunatel~' at that time I print.ed only the introdu(~tory part dealing with the transition of 8ubstantives to adjectives in Danish (see Dania III 80 fl.). InGrowlh (1st ed. 1905; 9th ed., section 179 ft.) I could give only one small page to the subject. Since then similar considerations have been put forward by Kellner, Batulteine I 1906, and Wendt, Synta:c 1911; cf. also Bergsten, Oompound SubBtantiveB 1911, p. 3-7.
