Query for this summary posted in LINGUIST Issue: 17.2199
Regarding Query: http://linguistlist.org/issues/17/17-2199.html#1
I have recently posted a query asking for experts or sources on the
historical development of Case assignment to predicates in Russian
(LinguistList 17.2199). I am very grateful to the following people for
responding to my query with references and advice: Tilman Berger, Joseph F
Foster, Pavel Grashchenkov, Keith Goeringer, Alexander Krasovitsky, Nerea
Madariaga, Kylie Richardson, and Robert A. Rothstein.
I am particularly thankful to Pavel Grashchenkov for tracking down and
sending me some hard-to-find articles and to Nerea Madariaga for an
extensive discussion of the relation between the instrumental case marking
on Modern Russian predicates and the Case-agreement paradigm used in older
Russian.
