Moro有丰富的系词从句，在句法构成上表现出明显的反差。一类联结从句含有动词中心语，另一类由非动词性谓词领导，具有与动词相同的屈折形态，而最后一组联结从句没有任何可以被识别为动词的词。我指出，动词性和动词性的系词从句总是包含一个谓词核心。另一方面，无动词的系词从句缺乏谓词性语义，具有识别或等式的功能。我提供了一个简单的句法分析，解释了不同类型从句的形态句法分布。
Moro has a rich array of copular clause constructions which show clear contrasts in their syntactic makeup. One class of copular clauses contain verbal heads, others are headed by non-verbal predicates that bear some inflectional morphology which is shared with verbs, while a final group of copular clauses lack any words which could be identified as verbs. I show that verbal and verb-like copular clauses always contain a predicative core. On the other hand, verbless copular clauses lack predicative semantics, serving the functions of identification or equation. I provide a simple syntactic analysis which accounts for the morphosyntactic distribution of the different types of clauses.
