The oblique anticausative in Lithuanian
This article examines Lithuanian structures with accusative functioning as a subject. It pursues the idea that this accusative is of old origin. This hypothesis is based on a detailed comparison with Old Icelandic, revealing striking similarities within an unproductive semantic group, denoting force of nature and meteorological phenomena. Another semantic group, denoting physical inconveniences, highly productive in Lithuanian, shows signs of ind…
Dialectal and diachronic distribution of case forms in Lithuanian pain-verb constructions
This article deals with the variation in case marking in ᴘᴀɪɴ-vᴇʀʙ ᴄoɴsᴛʀᴜᴄᴛɪoɴs, where in Lithuanian one finds (1) the standard language variant: accusative marked body-part and (2) the dialectal variant: nominative marked body-part. In this article, a clear distinction is made between ᴘᴀɪɴ-sᴘᴇᴄɪꜰɪᴄ vᴇʀʙs, verbs which originally denote pain like e.g. skaudėti, sopėti and ᴅᴇʀɪvᴇᴅ ᴘᴀɪɴ vᴇʀʙs, verbs borrowed from other semantic classes. This study …
Reconstructing constructional semantics
As the historical linguistic community is well aware, reconstructing semantics is a notoriously difficult undertaking. Such reconstruction has so far mostly been carried out on lexical items, like words and morphemes, and has not been conducted for larger and more complex linguistic units, which intuitively seems to be a more intricate task, especially given the lack of methodological criteria and guidelines within the field. This follows directl…
