Eckhoff, Hanne Martine and Dag T.T. Haug 2015 Aspect and prefixation in Old Church SlavonicDiachronica 32:2, pp. 186–230 | Article
In this article we focus on one grammaticalization path to perfective markers, that of the so-called ‘bounder perfectives’ (Bybee & Dahl 1989). Systems with these kinds of perfective markers – often called ‘Slavic-style aspect’ – are particularly elaborated in the Slavic languages. To examine why… read more

The focus is not on the study of single changes, but on providing an overview which shows what diachronic typology can contribute to the history of the Latin… read more

Specifically, Wolf… read more
