Starting from the analysis of constructions employed to express the category of reflexive in Hittite, encoded both by the verbal ending set of the middle and by the pronominal marker -za with both active and middle verbal forms, we present a typological parallelism with the Baltic languages that has consistently developed, from a pronominal, a verbal strategy to mark reflexivity. It is also shown that a development regarding the ways of encoding reflexivity involve other Indo-European languages as well.

The Anatolian languages attest the reflexes of the original set of endings referring to the semantic categories of Reflexive, Middle and “Resultative”, while the other Indo-European languages attest an innovated “mixed morphology” for the category of Middle and Reflexive as opposed to the proper endings of the historical perfect. Within such a theoretical framework, the development of alternative strategies, using pronominal devices or particles, aims to disambiguate a wide polysemous ending set. A ‘Wackernagel’ (2P) particle in Hittite, namely -z, is particularly active in disambiguating reflexivity. Lithuanian -si, an original pronoun that developed at first into a 2P particle and subsequently into a verbal suffix, extends its functional field and takes over the place of the original middle, as in other Baltic and Slavonic languages.

First, we focus on some devices signaling indirect speech that emerged in Pre-Classical and Classical Greek, such as the development of a system of complementizers (hóti ‘that.COMP’, hōs ‘that.COMP’) and some characteristic usages of moods (the optative of indirect speech). In Post-Classical Greek, this system of traits that had been employed to code indirect speech collapsed, as evidenced by the disappearance of hōs ‘that.COMP’ and the optative of indirect speech as well as the high frequency of pleonastic hóti ‘that.COMP’. Later in the history of Greek a new subordination system arises. We interpret these developments in the light of contemporary syntactic theory (Emonds 2004, 2012), and try to formulate a hypothesis regarding the cycle-like regularities and recurrent patterns that are followed by (clusters of) traits, that is, the “Indirect Speech Traits Cycle”. 01 01 JB code bct.75.04hoc 06 10.1075/bct.75.04hoc 51 78 28 Article 4 01 04 Proto-Indo-European verb-finality Proto-Indo-European verb-finality 01 04 Reconstruction, typology, validation Reconstruction, typology, validation 1 A01 01 JB code 179241021 Hans Henrich Hock Hock, Hans Henrich Hans Henrich Hock University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/179241021 01 eng 30 00 Although the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European as verb-final is widely accepted, there continue to be dissenting opinions (e.g. Friedrich 1975). See e.g. Pires & Thomason (2008), who question the fruitfulness of Indo-European syntactic reconstruction. In this article I address two issues: First, the reconstructable subordination strategies, including relative-correlative structures, are perfectly in conformity with verb-final typology — pace Lehmann (1974) and Friedrich (1975) who considered relative clauses with finite verbs and relative pronouns incompatible with SOV. Second, verb-final reconstruction makes it possible to account for prosodic and segmental changes that single out finite verbs, such as the non-accentuation of Vedic finite verbs and i-apocope preferentially targeting finite verbs in Italic, Celtic, and Baltic-Slavic. Both developments find a natural, prosodically motivated explanation if we accept PIE as SOV, but not if we do not accept that reconstruction. These facts show that, pace Pires & Thomason (2008), the reconstruction of PIE as verb-final is a fruitful hypothesis. 01 01 JB code bct.75.05kol 06 10.1075/bct.75.05kol 79 99 21 Article 5 01 04 Hittite pai- `go' and uwa- `come' as Restructuring Verbs Hittite pai- ‘go’ and uwa- ‘come’ as Restructuring Verbs 1 A01 01 JB code 630241022 Bernhard Koller Koller, Bernhard Bernhard Koller University of California, Los Angeles 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/630241022 01 eng 30 00 The present article provides a new syntactic analysis of the Hittite phraseological construction involving the verbs pai- ‘go’ or uwa- ‘come’ and a second finite verb. Most approaches have treated the construction as monoclausal in terms of verb serialization (Garrett 1990). This study will take a different approach, arguing that pai- and uwa- select a phrasal complement. The features that apparently set the construction apart from other cases of embedding in Hittite will be explained as effects of Restructuring (Rizzi 1982), a phenomenon Hittite also exhibits outside of the construction in question. It will further be argued that uwa- functions as a raising verb while pai- functions as a control verb, accounting for the differences in syntactic behavior between the two. 01 01 JB code bct.75.06kul 06 10.1075/bct.75.06kul 101 124 24 Article 6 01 04 Reconstructing passive and voice in Proto-Indo-European Reconstructing passive and voice in Proto-Indo-European 1 A01 01 JB code 21241023 Leonid Kulikov Kulikov, Leonid Leonid Kulikov Ghent University & Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/21241023 2 A01 01 JB code 40241024 Nikolaos Lavidas Lavidas, Nikolaos Nikolaos Lavidas 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/40241024 01 eng 30 00 This article examines various aspects of the reconstruction of the passive in Proto-Indo-European (PIE), foremost on the basis of evidence from the Indo-Aryan (Early Vedic) and Greek branches. In Proto-Indo-European the fundamental distinction within the verbal system is between the active and middle, while specialized markers of the passive are lacking and the passive syntactic pattern is encoded with middle inflection. Apart from the suffix *-i̯(e/o)- (for which we cannot reconstruct a passive function in the proto-language) and several nominal derivatives, we do not find sufficient evidence for specialized passive morphology. The role of the middle (and stative) in the expression of the passive in ancient IE languages raises important theoretical questions and is a testing ground for the methods of syntactic reconstruction. We will examine the contrast between non-specialized and specialized markers of the passive in Early Vedic and Greek. Most Indo-European languages have abandoned the use of middle forms in passive patterns, while Greek is quite conservative and regularly uses middle forms as passives. In contrast, Indo-Aryan has chosen a different, anti-syncretic, strategy of encoding detransitivizing derivational morphology, though with the middle inflection consistently preserved in passive ya-presents. These two branches, Indo-Aryan and Greek, arguably instantiate two basic types of development: a syncretic type found in many Western branches, including Greek, and an anti-syncretic type attested in some Eastern branches, in particular in Indo-Aryan. 01 01 JB code bct.75.07lon 06 10.1075/bct.75.07lon 125 156 32 Article 7 01 04 Toward a syntactic phylogeny of modern Indo-European languages Toward a syntactic phylogeny of modern Indo-European languages 1 A01 01 JB code 411241025 Giuseppe Longobardi Longobardi, Giuseppe Giuseppe Longobardi University of Trieste 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/411241025 2 A01 01 JB code 736241026 Cristina Guardiano Guardiano, Cristina Cristina Guardiano University of York 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/736241026 3 A01 01 JB code 797241027 Giuseppina Silvestri Silvestri, Giuseppina Giuseppina Silvestri University of Modena e Reggio Emilia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/797241027 4 A01 01 JB code 249241028 Alessio Boattini Boattini, Alessio Alessio Boattini University of Pisa 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/249241028 5 A01 01 JB code 265241029 Andrea Ceolin Ceolin, Andrea Andrea Ceolin University of Bologna 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/265241029 01 eng 30 00 The Parametric Comparison Method (PCM, Guardiano & Longobardi 2005, Longobardi & Guardiano 2009) is grounded on the assumption that syntactic parameters are more appropriate than other traits for use as comparanda for historical reconstruction, because they are able to provide unambiguous correspondences and objective measurements, thus guaranteeing wide-range applicability and quantitative exactness. This article discusses a set of experiments explicitly designed to evaluate the impact of parametric syntax in representing historical relatedness, and performed on a selection of 26 contemporary Indo-European varieties. The results show that PCM is in fact able to correctly identify genealogical relations even from modern languages only, performing as accurately as lexical methods, and that its effectiveness is not limited by interference effects such as ‘horizontal’ transmission. PCM is thus validated as a powerful tool for the analysis of historical relationships not only on a long-range perspective (as suggested by Longobardi & Guardiano 2009), but even on more focused, though independently well-known domains. 01 01 JB code bct.75.08ind 06 10.1075/bct.75.08ind 157 159 3 Article 8 01 04 Subject index Subject index 01 eng

Lithuanian -si, an original pronoun that developed at first into a 2P particle and subsequently into a verbal suffix, extends its functional field and takes over the place of the original middle, as in other Baltic and Slavonic languages.

First, we focus on some devices signaling indirect speech that emerged in Pre-Classical and Classical Greek, such as the development of a system of complementizers (hóti ‘that.COMP’, hōs ‘that.COMP’) and some characteristic usages of moods (the optative of indirect speech). In Post-Classical Greek, this system of traits that had been employed to code indirect speech collapsed, as evidenced by the disappearance of hōs ‘that.COMP’ and the optative of indirect speech as well as the high frequency of pleonastic hóti ‘that.COMP’. Later in the history of Greek a new subordination system arises. We interpret these developments in the light of contemporary syntactic theory (Emonds 2004, 2012), and try to formulate a hypothesis regarding the cycle-like regularities and recurrent patterns that are followed by (clusters of) traits, that is, the “Indirect Speech Traits Cycle”. 01 01 JB code bct.75.04hoc 06 10.1075/bct.75.04hoc 51 78 28 Article 4 01 04 Proto-Indo-European verb-finality Proto-Indo-European verb-finality 01 04 Reconstruction, typology, validation Reconstruction, typology, validation 1 A01 01 JB code 179241021 Hans Henrich Hock Hock, Hans Henrich Hans Henrich Hock University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/179241021 01 eng 30 00 Although the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European as verb-final is widely accepted, there continue to be dissenting opinions (e.g. Friedrich 1975). See e.g. Pires & Thomason (2008), who question the fruitfulness of Indo-European syntactic reconstruction. In this article I address two issues: First, the reconstructable subordination strategies, including relative-correlative structures, are perfectly in conformity with verb-final typology — pace Lehmann (1974) and Friedrich (1975) who considered relative clauses with finite verbs and relative pronouns incompatible with SOV. Second, verb-final reconstruction makes it possible to account for prosodic and segmental changes that single out finite verbs, such as the non-accentuation of Vedic finite verbs and i-apocope preferentially targeting finite verbs in Italic, Celtic, and Baltic-Slavic. Both developments find a natural, prosodically motivated explanation if we accept PIE as SOV, but not if we do not accept that reconstruction. These facts show that, pace Pires & Thomason (2008), the reconstruction of PIE as verb-final is a fruitful hypothesis. 01 01 JB code bct.75.05kol 06 10.1075/bct.75.05kol 79 99 21 Article 5 01 04 Hittite pai- `go' and uwa- `come' as Restructuring Verbs Hittite pai- ‘go’ and uwa- ‘come’ as Restructuring Verbs 1 A01 01 JB code 630241022 Bernhard Koller Koller, Bernhard Bernhard Koller University of California, Los Angeles 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/630241022 01 eng 30 00 The present article provides a new syntactic analysis of the Hittite phraseological construction involving the verbs pai- ‘go’ or uwa- ‘come’ and a second finite verb. Most approaches have treated the construction as monoclausal in terms of verb serialization (Garrett 1990). This study will take a different approach, arguing that pai- and uwa- select a phrasal complement. The features that apparently set the construction apart from other cases of embedding in Hittite will be explained as effects of Restructuring (Rizzi 1982), a phenomenon Hittite also exhibits outside of the construction in question. It will further be argued that uwa- functions as a raising verb while pai- functions as a control verb, accounting for the differences in syntactic behavior between the two. 01 01 JB code bct.75.06kul 06 10.1075/bct.75.06kul 101 124 24 Article 6 01 04 Reconstructing passive and voice in Proto-Indo-European Reconstructing passive and voice in Proto-Indo-European 1 A01 01 JB code 21241023 Leonid Kulikov Kulikov, Leonid Leonid Kulikov Ghent University & Aristotle University of Thessaloniki 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/21241023 2 A01 01 JB code 40241024 Nikolaos Lavidas Lavidas, Nikolaos Nikolaos Lavidas 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/40241024 01 eng 30 00 This article examines various aspects of the reconstruction of the passive in Proto-Indo-European (PIE), foremost on the basis of evidence from the Indo-Aryan (Early Vedic) and Greek branches. In Proto-Indo-European the fundamental distinction within the verbal system is between the active and middle, while specialized markers of the passive are lacking and the passive syntactic pattern is encoded with middle inflection. Apart from the suffix *-i̯(e/o)- (for which we cannot reconstruct a passive function in the proto-language) and several nominal derivatives, we do not find sufficient evidence for specialized passive morphology. The role of the middle (and stative) in the expression of the passive in ancient IE languages raises important theoretical questions and is a testing ground for the methods of syntactic reconstruction. We will examine the contrast between non-specialized and specialized markers of the passive in Early Vedic and Greek. Most Indo-European languages have abandoned the use of middle forms in passive patterns, while Greek is quite conservative and regularly uses middle forms as passives. In contrast, Indo-Aryan has chosen a different, anti-syncretic, strategy of encoding detransitivizing derivational morphology, though with the middle inflection consistently preserved in passive ya-presents. These two branches, Indo-Aryan and Greek, arguably instantiate two basic types of development: a syncretic type found in many Western branches, including Greek, and an anti-syncretic type attested in some Eastern branches, in particular in Indo-Aryan. 01 01 JB code bct.75.07lon 06 10.1075/bct.75.07lon 125 156 32 Article 7 01 04 Toward a syntactic phylogeny of modern Indo-European languages Toward a syntactic phylogeny of modern Indo-European languages 1 A01 01 JB code 411241025 Giuseppe Longobardi Longobardi, Giuseppe Giuseppe Longobardi University of Trieste 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/411241025 2 A01 01 JB code 736241026 Cristina Guardiano Guardiano, Cristina Cristina Guardiano University of York 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/736241026 3 A01 01 JB code 797241027 Giuseppina Silvestri Silvestri, Giuseppina Giuseppina Silvestri University of Modena e Reggio Emilia 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/797241027 4 A01 01 JB code 249241028 Alessio Boattini Boattini, Alessio Alessio Boattini University of Pisa 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/249241028 5 A01 01 JB code 265241029 Andrea Ceolin Ceolin, Andrea Andrea Ceolin University of Bologna 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/265241029 01 eng 30 00 The Parametric Comparison Method (PCM, Guardiano & Longobardi 2005, Longobardi & Guardiano 2009) is grounded on the assumption that syntactic parameters are more appropriate than other traits for use as comparanda for historical reconstruction, because they are able to provide unambiguous correspondences and objective measurements, thus guaranteeing wide-range applicability and quantitative exactness. This article discusses a set of experiments explicitly designed to evaluate the impact of parametric syntax in representing historical relatedness, and performed on a selection of 26 contemporary Indo-European varieties. The results show that PCM is in fact able to correctly identify genealogical relations even from modern languages only, performing as accurately as lexical methods, and that its effectiveness is not limited by interference effects such as ‘horizontal’ transmission. PCM is thus validated as a powerful tool for the analysis of historical relationships not only on a long-range perspective (as suggested by Longobardi & Guardiano 2009), but even on more focused, though independently well-known domains. 01 01 JB code bct.75.08ind 06 10.1075/bct.75.08ind 157 159 3 Article 8 01 04 Subject index Subject index 01 eng
