2021 Typology and diachrony of converbs in Indo-Aryan Diachronic Dimensions of Alignment Typology, Dahl, Eystein (ed.), pp. 457–501 | Article
Non-finite forms constitute an important component of the verbal system of Indo-Aryan (IA) languages. On the one hand, some of them, such as e.g., converbs, have already received proper attention in historical linguistics and typological literature, with regard to Old Indo-Aryan (OIA), Middle… read more
2019 Argument structure, conceptual metaphor and semantic change: How to succeed in Indo-European without really trying Diachronica 36:4, pp. 463–508 | Article
In contrast to grammaticalization studies of lexical verbs changing into auxiliaries, the realm of semantic changes associated with lexical verbs is an understudied area of historical semantics. We concentrate on the emergence of verbs of success from more semantically concrete verbs, uncovering… read more

2017 Between Passive and Middle: Evidence from Greek and beyond Contrastive Studies in Verbal Valency, Hellan, Lars, Andrej L. Malchukov and Michela Cennamo (eds.), pp. 297–325 | Chapter
This paper focuses on verbs that can appear with two non-active voice morphologies in Greek. The starting point of the study is a comparison to the Vedic verbs that can also have two different, though formally related, non-active morphologies. In Vedic, these belong to the semantic… read more

2015 Reconstructing passive and voice in Proto-Indo-European Proto-Indo-European Syntax and its Development, Kulikov, Leonid and Nikolaos Lavidas (eds.), pp. 101–124 | Article
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… read more
2013 Case variation and case alternation in Indo-European and beyond: A diachronic typological perspective Argument Structure in Flux: The Naples-Capri Papers, Gelderen, Elly van, Jóhanna Barðdal and Michela Cennamo (eds.), pp. 53–86 | Article
This paper deals with one of the aspects of the diachronic study of case, variation and competition of two or more cases in some particular function(s). The paper studies both formal parameters (markedness of case forms, interaction between declensional types) and functional features (overlapping… read more

2012 Vedic preverbs as markers of valency-changing derivations: Transitivity and objecthood in Indo-European (Evidence from Old Indo-Aryan) Studies in Language 36:4, pp. 721–746 | Article
The present paper offers an analysis of the transitivizing and intransitivizing preverbs (semi-bound verbal prefixes) in Vedic Sanskrit. I will argue that the (in)transitivizing force of these morphemes is weak: the passivization test shows that transitivizing preverbs only exceptionally make… read more
2011 Passive to anticausative through impersonalization: The case of Vedic and Indo-European Impersonal Constructions: A cross-linguistic perspective, Malchukov, Andrej L. and Anna Siewierska (eds.), pp. 229–254 | Article
Vedic Sanskrit and other Indo-European languages attest a typologically remarkable change of passives to anticausatives. This semantic development is attested, foremost, for passives of several verbs of perception and knowledge (knowledge transfer) obviously, according to the scenario ‘Y is seen… read more

It gives a general survey of passive formations of the three main tense systems (present, aorist and perfect) and discusses forms which are… read more
