Periphrastic passive and resultative in Hittite and Proto-Indo-European

  • Andrey Shatskov

Abstract

There are several ways to express passive meaning in ancient Indo- European languages, one of them being periphrastic constructions. This paper argues that periphrastic passives in these languages developed from earlier object-oriented resultative constructions, which can be reconstructed for the proto-language as well.
