Abstract:
This volume brings together work from leading specialists in Indo-European languages to explore the macro- and micro-dynamic factors that contribute to variation and change in alignment and argument realization. The chapters have a strong empirical focus, drawing on data from Anatolian, Indo-Iranian, Greek, Italic, Armenian, and Slavic.
