Transitivity, pragmatics, and discourse in the morphosyntax of contemporary Ukrainian.
Nedashkivska Adams, Alla.

Transitivity, pragmatics, and discourse in the morphosyntax of contemporary Ukrainian. - 269 p.

Adviser: David J. Birnbaum.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Pittsburgh, 1998.

The dissertation focuses on three paired morphosyntactic constructions, each pair similar in form and meaning. Differences between paired constructions have been ascribed to 'free variation', 'stylistic preference', or 'optionality'. This present study shows the inadequacy of previous descriptions and proposes that the three constructions, vital in contemporary Ukrainian: canonical and impersonal passives, locative and accusative for directional placement, and -zero and -a accusative for masculine inanimates---can all be investigated within a multi-dimensional model, the Prototypical Discourse Situation Model, which incorporates Transitivity, pragmatics, and discourse factors. This model, based on a corpus of examples from contemporary Ukrainian and field research, proves to be a useful mechanism both for predicting choice and explaining specific discourse functions.

520 $a The dissertation focuses on three paired morphosyntactic constructions, each pair similar in form and meaning. Differences between paired constructions have been ascribed to 'free variation', 'stylistic preference', or 'optionality'. This present study shows the inadequacy of previous descriptions and proposes that the three constructions, vital in contemporary Ukrainian: canonical and impersonal passives, locative and accusative for directional placement, and -zero and -a accusative for masculine inanimates---can all be investigated within a multi-dimensional model, the Prototypical Discourse Situation Model, which incorporates Transitivity, pragmatics, and discourse factors. This model, based on a corpus of examples from contemporary Ukrainian and field research, proves to be a useful mechanism both for predicting choice and explaining specific discourse functions.
520 $a The dissertation is organized into three main parts: (1) The analysis of two syntactically different perfective passive constructions focuses on identifying the syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and discourse differences between the two voice constructions. It demonstrates that the 'impersonal' -no/-to passives display the characteristics of an actional passive, while the so-called 'canonical', or agreeing passives, are increasingly limited to statal use. I conclude that the two constructions are not interchangeable, and are uttered in a given discourse based on their properties and the discourse situation in general. (2) The study of the constructions of directional placement addresses the question of the purported 'free variation' with respect to case choice. The analysis proves that along with the traditional accusative, Ukrainian allows locative for directional placement. Further, I demonstrate that the choice of case is an outcome of the interaction of Transitivity, pragmatics and discourse. (3) The investigation of the accusative masculine inanimates focuses interaction of case marking with the set of Transitivity, pragmatic and discourse factors. I confirm that the interaction of Transitivity, pragmatics and discourse has stronger theoretical adequacy than previous analyses based upon extended animacy and extended genitive.
520 $a In brief, this dissertation constitutes a quest for a multi-dimensional model, which goes beyond syntax and semantics. The aim is to explain various specific 'puzzles' of Ukrainian morphosyntax and to capture adequately the reasons for the choice of various morphosyntactic devices within this model.
