摘要

摘要本文建立在人类语言重构回到非及物动词（一个论点）绝对式语法的提议之上。可以说，这种语法仍然存在于各种语言的结构中，包括英语和塞尔维亚语中的动名词复合词，以及塞尔维亚语中的se "middles"。鉴于塞尔维亚语中se "中间语 "的高产性，并鉴于它们专门用于事件的低度阐述和无生命层次结构的无生命末端，建议最好把塞尔维亚语分析为一种分裂指称语，与分裂能动语相类，即其主导/默认语法是指称语法，但绝对语法（能动性）占据着重要的位置。

Se middles in the evolution of predication: Is Serbian a split-accusative language?

abstract

This paper builds on the proposal that human languages reconstruct back to an intransitive (one argument) absolutive-like grammar. Such grammars are arguably still found in a variety of constructions across languages, including in verb-noun compounds in e.g. English and Serbian, and in Serbian se "middles." Given the highly productive nature of se middles in Serbian, and given their specialization for low elaboration of events, and for the inanimate end of the Animacy Hierarchy, the proposal is that Serbian is best analyzed as a split-accusative language, on analogy with split-ergative languages, in that its dominant/default grammar is accusative, but the absolutive grammar (ergativity) occupies a significant niche.

期刊介绍： Journal of Slavic Linguistics, or JSL, is the official journal of the Slavic Linguistics Society. JSL publishes research articles and book reviews that address the description and analysis of Slavic languages and that are of general interest to linguists. Published papers deal with any aspect of synchronic or diachronic Slavic linguistics – phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics – which raises substantive problems of broad theoretical concern or proposes significant descriptive generalizations. Comparative studies and formal analyses are also published. Different theoretical orientations are represented in the journal. One volume (two issues) is published per year, ca. 360 pp.
