Sinopsis

This book analyzes structures in (early) Indo-European languages that traditionally have been difficult to account for: impersonal verbs, "mihi est" constructions to express possession, "mihi est" constructions in combination with a nominal form of the verb, and absolute constructions. It is argued that they are inherited from Proto-Indo- European and that they are residues of a stage at which the proto-language was non-nominative. Their gradual replacement with modern transitive structures, as demonstrated in detail in the development of Latin and French, shows the increasing importance of transitivity in the development of Indo-European.

Syntax dar, der der zukunftigen Bearbeitung dieser schwierigen Frage nicht wenige Anregungen zu geben vermag." (Karl Horst Schmidt, Kratylos 48/2003)
