Stroński, Krzysztof and Leonid Kulikov 2021 Typology and diachrony of converbs in Indo-AryanDiachronic 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
Johnson, Cynthia A., Peter Alexander Kerkhof, Leonid Kulikov, Esther Le Mair and Jóhanna Barðdal 2019 Argument structure, conceptual metaphor and semantic change: How to succeed in Indo-European without really tryingDiachronica 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

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

Kulikov, Leonid and Nikolaos Lavidas 2015 Reconstructing passive and voice in Proto-Indo-EuropeanProto-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
Kulikov, Leonid 2013 Case variation and case alternation in Indo-European and beyond: A diachronic typological perspectiveArgument 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

Seržant, Ilja A., Chiara Fedriani and Leonid Kulikov 2013 IntroductionThe Diachronic Typology of Non-Canonical Subjects, Seržant, Ilja A. and Leonid Kulikov (eds.), pp. ix–xxvi | 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
Kulikov, Leonid 2011 Passive to anticausative through impersonalization: The case of Vedic and Indo-EuropeanImpersonal 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

The present paper deals with the passive function of the middle diathesis in Vedic Sanskrit, one of the most ancient attested Indo-European languages. 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
