"Die mit reichhaltigem Material untermauerte, methodologisch wichtige Untersuchung stellt einen bemerkenswerten Beitrag zur Erforschung der ältesten idg. Syntax dar, der der zukünftigen Bearbeitung dieser schwierigen Frage nicht wenige Anregungen zu geben vermag."
(Karl Horst Schmidt, Kratylos 48/2003)
This book analyzes structures in (early) Indo-European languages that traditionally have been difficult to account for: impersonal verbs, "mihi est" constructions to express possession, "mihi est" constructions in combination with a nominal form of the verb, and absolute constructions. It is argued that they are inherited from Proto-Indo- European and that they are residues of a stage at which the proto-language was non-nominative. Their gradual replacement with modern transitive structures, as demonstrated in detail in the development of Latin and French, shows the increasing importance of transitivity in the development of Indo-European.
