Applicativizing preverbs in selected European languages
This chapter surveys the morphology, syntax, and semantics of applicativizing preverbs in English, German, Hungarian, and the Slavic and Baltic languages, with some comments on their non-applicativizing uses. Applicativizing preverbs may be particles or affixes, are transparently related to adverbs/adpositions with spatial and/or aspectual functions, and introduce a new participant to the clause (usually a direct object, occasionally an oblique a…
Finiteness in morphology and syntax
The article surveys morphological and syntactic ramifi cations of finiteness and nonfiniteness of verbal forms in the polysynthetic Abaza language (Northwest Caucasian, Karachay-Cherkessia). In Abaza, a whole range of morphological phenomena exhibit more or less robust correlations with dependent resp. subordinate status of the clause. However, I show that none of these phenomena can be treated as an unequivocal indicator of (non)finiteness, payi…
Morphology of the Caucasian Languages
The indigenous languages of the Caucasus (Nakh-Daghestanian, Abkhazo-Agyghean and Kartvelian) present a remarkable degree of diversity in their morphological systems, both between and within larger genealogical units and even closely-related varieties. This article is an attempt to present a theoretically and typologically informed overview of the major parameters of morphological variation of the Caucasian languages and to highlight a number of …
The perfects in Latvian and Lithuanian
This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the functions of the present, past and future perfect forms in standard Latvian and Lithuanian based on two complementary types of data: the typological questionnaire devised for the study of the perfect for the EUROTYP project and the Lithuanian-Latvian parallel corpus. We analyse the data qualitatively as well as quantitatively and demonstrate that the two Baltic languages show both si…

Perfect grams in Lithuanian and Latvian
This article presents a first detailed comparative investigation of the semantics of the perfect verbal forms in standard Lithuanian and Latvian. A typological questionnaire filled by five Latvian and seven Lithuanian informants reveals the difference in the degree of grammaticalization of the present perfect between the two Baltic languages. The set of contexts available for the present perfect in Latvian is wider and more reminiscent of the per…
Non-canonical inverse in Circassian languages
This paper discusses a typologically peculiar inverse-like construction found in the polysynthetic ergative Circassian languages of the Northwest-Caucasian family. These languages possess a cislocative verbal prefix, which, in addition to marking the spatial meaning of speaker-orientation, systematically occurs in polyvalent verbs when the object outranks the subject on the person hierarchy. The inverse-like use of the cislocative in Circassian d…
(Non-)agreement of passive participles in South-Eastern Lithuanian
The phenomenon of non-agreement of passive participles (mostly t-participles) is discussed on the basis of the TriMCo corpus of South-Eastern Lithuanian dialects. A quantitative analysis of the examples shows that non-agreeing t-participles appear significantly more often in East Aukštaitian than in South Aukštaitian. It is also shown that plural subjects and position of the participle before the subject increase the probability of the non-agreei…
Multiple ergatives
This paper presents a cross-linguistic survey of case systems with several non-phonologically distributed markers of ergative case, based on a convenience sample of more than 70 languages from all over the world. It is shown that in most languages the distribution of different ergative markers splits along the lines predicted by the referential hierarchy (local pronouns > non-local pronouns > proper names > kinship terms > humans > nonhumans > in…
Roles, hierarchies, and the double marking of objects
Contemporary Approaches to Baltic Linguistics
Baltic languages have only marginally featured in the discourse of theoretical linguistics and linguistic typology. The book aims to reconnect Baltic linguistics and the current agenda of the theoretical and typological study of language. The book is intended for a broad linguistic audience, including typologists and theoretical linguists.
