Abstract
Abstract:This paper discusses the origin and development of constructions with ē-statives denoting sensation, emotion, perception, and cognition, which exhibit traces of non-nominative alignment in the history of Slavic languages. Patterns where the experiencer is encoded by the accusative or dative case were inherited from an earlier semantically aligned system, whose relics are found in other Indo-European languages as well. These structures have been subjected to various syntactic, morphological, and semantic changes in the history of Slavic, leading to the establishment of transitive constructions and thus the strengthening of syntactic alignment. The analysis shows that the pace of this process and the types of changes that ē-stative constructions underwent were determined by the level of the participant's volitivity and control.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Slavic Linguistics, or JSL, is the official journal of the Slavic Linguistics Society. JSL publishes research articles and book reviews that address the description and analysis of Slavic languages and that are of general interest to linguists. Published papers deal with any aspect of synchronic or diachronic Slavic linguistics – phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics – which raises substantive problems of broad theoretical concern or proposes significant descriptive generalizations. Comparative studies and formal analyses are also published. Different theoretical orientations are represented in the journal. One volume (two issues) is published per year, ca. 360 pp.
