Abstract:

Pulling together the threads of forty years of research on oblique
subjects in the Germanic languages, this book introduces a novel
approach to grammatical relations, based on a definition of subject as
the first argument of the argument structure. New data are presented
from Gothic, Old Saxon, Old Norse-Icelandic, Old Swedish and Old
Danish, as well as from Icelandic, Faroese and German. This includes
alternating Dat-Nom/Nom-Dat predicates, where either argument, the
dative or the nominative, takes on subject behavior. The subject
concept is modeled with the formalism of Construction Grammar, both
synchronically and for the purpose of reconstructing grammatical
relations for Proto-Germanic.

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics

Subject Language(s): English (eng)

Written In: English (eng)
