Abstract
- If so, not only the reflexive possessive I swój i "self's" encodes the antecedent/dependent relation; it is dedicated as a spell-out form of this relation only when the antecedent is nominative (so linked to the position of [spec, TP] in syntax (see (9): I Jan i SB 1 sb vs. I swoje i SB 1 sb "self's"). Yet as soon as the antecedent of the dependent is not marked for nominative, the pronominal possessive assumes the role of the correct PF-relevant spell-out form for a local antecedent/dependent relationship (as in (9): I Marii i SB 2,DAT sb vs. I jej i SB 2 sb "her") and (20): I Jana i SB 1 sb vs. I jego i SB 1 sb "his" and I Piotra i SB 2 sb vs. I jego i SB 2 sb "his"). In (i-ii) the verb (T) agrees with a nominative object, while its sub-constituent is bound by a dative antecedent: (i) Henni thykir bródr sinn/*hennar leidinlegar. she SB DAT sb thinks brother SB NOM sb self's/her boring "She finds her brother boring". I shall focus on two issues in this brief commentary paper: the OVS orders available in Slavic and unavailable in typical SVO languages and consequences of object scrambling for the phenomenon of QR in OV and T3 languages.
