: In this article we report a previously unidentified verbal root for the Indo-European protolanguage, * menk ʷ - ‘to be short; to lack’, based on verbal and nominal reflexes in Italic, Indo-Iranian, Germanic, Tocharian and Anatolian, founded, we claim, in the Caland System , an archaic stratum of the Proto-Indo-European derivational system. In four of five Indo-European subgroups, predicates are found occurring with a subject(-like) argument in a non-nominative case, dative in the languages that have retained the Indo- European case morphology, but an oblique case in the branches where different non-nom-inative forms have merged. The documented verbal forms cannot be unified into a single reconstructable verb, yet we argue that the more abstract argument structure construction involving a dative subject(-like) argument must be inherited from Proto-Indo-European. Hence, we suggest a partial reconstruction for the grammar of Proto-Indo-European, based on the attested Tocharian form, * m(e)nk ʷ - MP , the non-nominative case of the sub- ject(-like) argument, and the meaning ‘lack’. Taken together, this cumulative evidence corroborates the assumption that a verb meaning ‘lack’ developed from ‘be short’ in the proto-language, indeed instantiating a non-canonically case-marked argument structure with its subject(-like) argument in the dative case.
在这篇文章中,我们报道了一个以前未被发现的印欧语的词根,* menk k - '是缩写;根据意大利语、印度-伊朗语、日耳曼语、吐火罗语和安纳托利亚语的口头和名义反射,我们声称,在加兰系统中建立了原始印欧衍生系统的一个古老阶层。在五个印欧语系的四个分支中,谓语在非主格情况下出现主语(类)论证,在保留了印欧格形态的语言中出现加格,但在不同的非主格形式合并的分支中出现斜格。文献记载的动词形式不能统一为一个可重构的动词,但我们认为,涉及与格主语(类)论点的更抽象的论点结构结构必须继承自原始印欧语。因此,我们建议对原始印欧语的语法进行部分重建,基于已证实的火罗语形式,* m(e)nk k - MP,主(类)论点的非主格,以及“缺乏”的意思。综上所述,这些累积的证据证实了这样的假设,即一个意为“缺乏”的动词是从原始语言中的“短”发展而来的,它确实实例化了一个非规范的格标记的参数结构,其主语(类似)参数在与格格中。
