Quiry on the development typology of non-canonical/quirky/oblique subjects or subject-like obliques

[Ilja Serzants]

 Dear colleagues, 

I am trying to collect as much as possible data on the evolution (both rise and demise) of non-canonical/quirky/oblique subjects or subject-like obliques for a typological survey. I am just afraid to unwillingly leave out too much out of consideration just by ignorance.

I will be extremely grateful for every reference to (or even a PDF of) a case study from any language/language family (except maybe such well-studied ones as Germanic languages), not least synoptic papers. 

With many thanks in advance, 

Ilja
