Agreement in Russian Secondary Predicates

    Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

    Abstract

    This paper will be concerned with the distribution of Case marking in Russian

    secondary predicates. I will particularly analyze Case alternations in simple

    matrix clauses and control configurations. I account for these facts by

    distinguishing NP-movement structures from the structures containing a null

    pronominal. This general topic is often referred to as the Second Dative.

    However, it is somewhat misleading because Dative Case marking happens to be

    very unproductive in secondary predicates in Russian, with a more general

    paradigm involving actually Instrumental Case.
