2024 The diachronic emergence of alignment cross‑linguistically: Theoretical and empirical perspectives Journal of Historical Linguistics 14:1, pp. 58–65 | Introduction
The possible origins of the various alignment patterns attested in the world’s languages have been the object of sustained interest in both language typology and historical linguistics (see Dahl 2021a for a recent overview). What is meant here by alignment, in a maximally general sense, is any… read more
2023 The rise of middle voice systems: A study in diachronic typology Diachronica 40:2, pp. 195–237 | Article
Middle markers are characterized by a distribution halfway between grammar and the lexicon: with some verbs, middle marking encodes valency change, while with others it obligatorily occurs with no obvious synchronic motivation. Despite the existing cross-linguistic work on middle markers, their… read more
2023 The rise and fall of morphological schemas: A diachronic account of entre- prefixation in French Issues in Diachronic Construction Morphology, Norde, Muriel and Graeme Trousdale (eds.), pp. 187–210 | Article
The paper explores the origin and development of the [entre-V] construction in the history of French. By means of quantitative corpus data, it is shown that the [entre-V] construction, particularly in its reciprocal function, is productive in earlier stages of French and progressively disappears… read more
2022 The development of locative relative markers: From typology to sociolinguistics (and back) Studies in Language 46:1, pp. 220–257 | Article
The accessibility hierarchy was first proposed by Keenan & Comrie (1977) to describe the cross-linguistic distribution of relative markers in terms of likelihood of relativization of different syntactic roles. The hierarchy is also commonly believed to reflect constraints on possible changes in… read more
2020 Chapter 11. The Hittite periphrastic perfect Perfects in Indo-European Languages and Beyond, Crellin, Robert and Thomas Jügel (eds.), pp. 377–410 | Chapter
In Hittite, the meaning associated with the Proto-Indo-European perfect, i.e. to indicate a state resulting from a change-of-state event, was covered by compound verb forms consisting of the -ant- participle plus the finite forms of the verbs ḫar(k)- “have” and eš- “be”. The origin and the… read more
2017 A synchronic and diachronic typology of Hittite reciprocal constructions Studies in Language 41:4, pp. 956–1006 | Article
This paper discusses reciprocal constructions in Hittite, framed within the typology of reciprocals laid out by Nedjalkov (2007), König & Gast (2008), and Evans et al. (2011). Hittite attests to at least three reciprocal markers, that is, the middle voice, the particle =za, and three different… read more
