The Slavic Verb
Part 1: Comparative Perspectives
Series: - Studies in Slavic and General Linguistics, Volume: 48
Both general linguists and Slavic specialists will find the Slavic verb to be a rich source of linguistic data. This book offers insights that contribute to a deeper understanding of both the Slavic languages and language structure more broadly.
The first volume of this two-part work presents studies on the Slavic verb from a comparative perspective, focusing on analyses involving two or more Slavic languages. It includes contributions on verbal aspect (including biaspectuality, the East Slavic perfective, and the perfective present), semelfactive verbs, the pluperfect, phasal verbs, dative reflexive constructions, and anankastic modals. The empirical data span a broad range of Slavic languagesâincluding Croatian, Russian, Serbian, Slovene dialects in Friuli, and Å tokavian dialects in Albaniaâas well as studies adopting a cross-Slavic approach.

Simeon Dekker, Ph.D. (2016, Leiden University), is a researcher at the Justus Liebig University, Giessen. He investigates language contact between Polish and Ruthenian, cultural-historical terminology transfer in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the comparative use and development of verbal tenses in the history of the Slavic languages.
Egbert Fortuin, Ph.D (2001, University of Amsterdam), is professor of Russian linguistics at Leiden University. He has published both on Russian grammar, syntax and semantics, and comparative grammar (syntax and semantics). He is currently editor of the journal Russian Linguistics.
Jaap Kamphuis, Ph.D. (2016, Leiden University), has a background in South-Slavic linguistics and has published articles and a monograph on verbal aspect in Old Church Slavonic (OCS), as well as articles on the verb and verbal aspect in Macedonian, OCS, and from a typological perspective.
