Pancake sentence

An example from Swedish is the sentence Pannkakor är nyttigt, meaning "Pancakes are healthy".

The phrase appears to have been coined by Hans-Olav Enger in a 2004 academic paper, "Scandinavian pancake sentences as semantic agreement" but it was well-known also by classic grammar and was dubbed "constructio ad sensum" or "syllepsis".

Enger states that pancake sentences are "where the predicative adjective apparently disagrees with its subject".

A similar phenomenon also occurs in Hebrew, where the copula (and adjectives) appear to disagree with the subject.
