[Lingtyp] Indexes fossilizing

[Christian Lehmann]

Quoting from Lehmann 1982, §7.1:

"The English free object pronoun /him/ develops, in Tok Pisin, first 
into an agreement suffix of the verb and then into an invariable marker 
of all transitive verbs (ex. (55)). The subject pronoun /he/ suffers a 
similar fate (see Givón 1976, § 8.2. and Sankoff 1977) [becoming a verb 
marker]."

agreement”. Seiler, Hansjakob & Stachowiak, Franz Josef (eds.),
