The Dative Of Agency: A Chapter Of Indo-European Case-Syntax (1913)

By Alexander Green

Book Overview

The Dative of Agency is a book written by Alexander Green, first published in 1913. The book explores the use of the dative case in Indo-European languages, specifically in relation to the concept of agency. The dative case is a grammatical case used to indicate the indirect object of a verb, and in some languages, it can also be used to indicate the agent of an action. The book examines the historical development of the dative case in various Indo-European languages, including Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, and Old English. It also compares the use of the dative case in these languages with other cases that can indicate agency, such as the instrumental case. The book is aimed at scholars of linguistics and Indo-European studies and provides a detailed analysis of the dative case in Indo-European languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
