“…Suffice to cite here a well-known example from the Hradecký manuscript (14th century), with the accusative case of direct object but without an auxiliary (Gebauer, 1929:13 The accusative direct object in the impersonal construction with the predicate in -no/-to was well retained into the 19th century; it was found in the eastern dialects even later (Havránek, 1937, 89). Practically simultaneously, in the late 14th century, impersonal constructions of this type came to be attested in Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Polish, which allowed some scholars to posit the influence of the Polish impersonal constructions on both Czech (Koneczna, 1956) and Ukrainian together with Belarusian (Shevelov, 1969).…”

The paper deals with the areal-typological profiling of Ukrainian among languages of Europe, constituting Standard Average European (SAE) and especially Central European (CE). Placed recently in the context of the ‘areal typology’ and the ‘dynamic taxonomy’, Ukrainian together with Russian and Belarusian appear to be mere replica languages. Such languages are capable of only borrowing surface structures migrating all over the Europe unie or imitating deep structures on the model of SAE or CE. In order to elaborate on an alternative profiling of Ukrainian among languages of (Central) Europe, the author concentrates on both phonological and morphosyntactic features treated commonly as CE Sprachbund-forming (the spirantization of *g, the dispalatalization of the palatalized consonants, the existence of medial l, the umlauting, the three-tense system, including a simple preterit from the perfect, and the periphrastic ‘ingressive’ future). As a result, the author advances another vector of areal classification, thus positioning Russian in the core of ‘Standard Average Indo-European’ and (Southwest) Ukrainian as an intermediate language between Russian and the rest of (Central) European languages.

“…8.4) Lavine (2000) develops a promising minimalist analysis of this and related constructions. See also Shevelov (1963, 139-146;1969) 23b, Bg (23c) and Sc (23d) all seem to behave identically: the experiencer "subject" is expressed in the dat, the verb is 3sg/neuter, and the "reflexive" morpheme is introduced.…”

one hand, and Bg and Mac, on the other. In sections 3 and 4 of this chapter I treat a variety of issues in comparative Slavic morphosyntax. These include case and agreement (3.1), the genitive of negation phenomenon (3.2), numerals (3.3), argument structure and voice (3.4), clitics (3.5), wh movement (3.6), negation (3.7), binding (4.1), aspect (4.2) and word order (4.3). In doing so, I highlight the major phenomena, drawing attention to differences among the languages, and sketch proposals as to how to analyze these phenomena. Much of this material is drawn from my two books, Parameters of Slavic Syntax (Franks 1995) and A Handbook of Slavic Clitics (Franks and Holloway King 2000).
