Information
has glosseng: Zero copula is a linguistic phenomenon whereby the subject is joined to the predicate without overt marking of this relationship (like the copula to be in English). One can distinguish languages which simply do not have a copula, and languages which do have a copula, but whose use is optional in some contexts. Bengali, Malay/Indonesian, Turkish, Russian, Hungarian, Hebrew, Arabic, Luganda and Sinhala exhibit this phenomenon.
