Abstract

This paper is part of a larger project of comparative research on cognate objects; some previous findings are presented in Pereltsvaig (1999a, b). It is also a continuation of decades-long research on cognate objects in both traditional and Generative linguistics. In (1) and (2) below, I give some examples of cognate objects (COs) in familiar languages such as English and French (these languages are quite well-studied in terms of their cognate object constructions). Here and below, COs are in bold.
