- Title
The development of Indo-European middle-passive verbs: a case study in Ancient Greek and Old Church Slavonic.
- Abstract
The article presents a syntactic analysis of the change affecting the selectional properties of the Indo-European middle-passive verbs with two arguments, the psych verbs that denote separation. It discusses the differences in case marking of the middle-passive verbs with particular focus on the contrast between the Old Church Slavonic pattern and the Ancient Greek pattern. It demonstrates that the two patterns differ in a series of properties and represent contrasting points in the Proto-Indo-European (PIE). intransitive/stative pattern to developed patterns. It shows that the different case marking on the objects of the psych verbs that denote separation corresponds to different morphological and structural patterns.
