Vedic Sanskrit prose interlinearized and GRAIDed

This project analyzes the role of agent prominence in the initial phase of the development of Old Indic (Vedic Sanskrit) participial forms into main clause nuclei. We trace both present active participles and resultative ta-forms in their development from a very 'nominal' functional range into full-fledged main clause predicators. Our study involves data collection and annotation according to selected semantic and syntactic criteria targeted at the interplay of verb semantics and the role of A- and O-arguments.For a brief introduction to the project see https://sfb1252.uni-koeln.de/projekte/b03-agent-prominence-and-the-diachrony-of-predication-in-indo-aryan
