The history of Indo-European languages: alignment change as a clue
(2009) p.331-340- Abstract
- In this paper, the history of IE languages is studied in terms of alignment change. What is significant in this change is the emergence of transitivity as a basic grammatical operational system. However, there are varying degrees of transition to transitivity-based system, especially between semantic and syntactic transitivity. It is argued that these degrees of transition create differences in grammatical structures among IE languages.
