Overview

Both general linguists and Slavic specialists will find the Slavic verb to be a rich source of linguistic data. Its study offers insights that contribute to a deeper understanding of the Slavic languages and of language more broadly. The second volume of this two-part work compiles language-specific studies on the Slavic verb, featuring articles on secondary imperfectives, the aspectual behavior of simplex verbs, habituality, relative tense, and perfective verbs of returning. The empirical data are drawn from a range of Slavic languages, including Croatian, Czech, Molise Slavic, Old Church Slavonic, Resian, Russian, and Slovak. Contributors are: Walter Breu, Simeon Dekker, Magda van Duijkeren, Hanne Eckhoff, Egbert Fortuin, René Genis, Atle Grønn, Jaap Kamphuis, Irina Kor Chahine, Paula Kyselica, Ekaterina Mišina, Malinka Pila, and Jurica Polančec.
