Sinossi
Excerpt from The Dative of Agency: A Chapter of Indo-European Case-Syntax
In attempting to secure for my subject a certain degree of com pleteness in treatment, I have not shrunk from rehearsing many otherwise well-known and firmly established facts of philology. A reconstructive essay, however favorably circumstanced with respect to illustrative matter, must still labor under a disadvantage in that it lacks the authentic actuality of the more tangible work. In the present case I have in addition been Often confronted with that curious situation Of comparative paucity of decisive instances which not infrequently robs the argument of its cogency. Many Of the changes involved in the discussion must have taken place long prior to any literature we possess, and the remnants Of even these earliest linguistic documents are lamentably few. The Obvious necessity then of overcoming in the largest possible measure such unavoidable defects is the reason for what may appear to be prolixity.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the evolution of a complex grammatical function, the Dative of Agency, which conveys both the subject of a passive action and the logical actor of that action. The author examines the use of various case forms in Indo-European languages and traces the development of the singular dative from its roots in the instrumental and dative cases. By exploring the semantic and syntactic changes that shaped this grammatical construction, this book offers new insights into the evolution of the Indo-European languages and the expression of agency in human language.
