Download or read book Unaccusativity and the Double Object Construction in Sumerian written by J. Cale Johnson and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2010 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sumerian, probably the earliest attested language in human history, has no known cognates. Accordingly, many features of Sumerian grammar are still under discussion. Up to now research has focused primarily on questions of Sumerian phonology and morphology. In this present study the author concentrates on syntactic or pragmatic phenomena, especially on the referential properties of the nominal component of certain so-called compound verbs, the unaccusativity contrast, and the possibility of generic quantification in the double object construction.
