Differential Subject Marking in Nepali imperfective constructions
We investigate Differential Subject Marking in Nepali imperfective constructions. No previous accounts were satisfying in explaining under what conditions the ergative marker is preferably used. Building on a probabilistic approach to syntactic variability, we conducted statistical analyses on the basis of corpus data, which compared and evaluated the influence of the predictor variables on the ergative marking. We found evidence for the influenc…

Differential subject marking in Nepali
In the Indo-Aryan language Nepali, the transitive subject A in perfective constructions is ergatively marked with the postposition le . However, in contrast to Hindi, also Indo-Aryan, le can mark A in imperfective constructions. The postposition is then optional and seems to occur on a highly irregular basis. Various hypotheses have been assumed to account for this anomalous distribution; the traditional textbook hypothesis considers “emphasis” a…
Dative alternation in Indian English
The dative alternation refers to the alternation between two constructions that denote some type of transfer: the double object construction (I give my sister a book) vs. the to-dative construction (I give a book to my sister). We examined the motivations behind the dative alternation in Indian English. A corpus study was performed based on a sample of N = 943 sentences that were drawn from the Kolhapur corpus. Using a mixed-effects logistic regr…
The rise of ergativity in Hindi
This article investigates the origins and development of the ergative patterning in Hindi. Following traditional Indo-Aryan scholarship, two evolutions are discerned: (i) the reanalysis of a passive as an ergative construction, and (ii) the development of an ergative case marker ne. Three different hypotheses have been postulated in the literature to account for the latter change, two of which suggest a grammaticalization path: the first argues f…
