> I am working on the “Ventive” marker in Old Babylonian and Old Assyrian,
> two East Semitic varieties of the early second millennium BC, both with
> extensive and reasonably well understood epistolary corpora of private
> correspondence. The “Ventive” is a directional marker cliticized on motion
> verbs to indicate motion towards a deictic centre (DC). In the default
> case, the DC is the location of the speaker/writer, and the Ventive is
> obligatory in this context. But this marker often appears on verbs
> describing translocation towards THOU (the addressee of the respective
> letter), and – though less frequently – towards other goals.

> I believe that to encode the motion towards the respective speaker/writer
> is the primordial and “natural” function of this marker, while the other
> usages represent “deictic transfers”, somewhat comparable to Bühler’s
> Deixis am Phantasma. I.e., a “deictic transfer” happens by virtue of the
> marker’s deictic (or “shifer”, in the sense of Roman Jakobson) nature.

> Could you please suggest to me some cross-linguistic analogies and

> speaker to something else?
