Some time ago I posted a question on Case-assignment by verbs meaning to want, to ask for, to demand, to deserve, to seek and to avoid in different Slavic languages. The facts appear to be the following: In Polish and Lithuanian (a Baltic language) these verbs obligatorily assign genitive Case. In Russian, Ukrainian and Slovenian the verbs can take either genitive or accusative objects. Finally, in Serbo-Croatian they normally assign accusative Case. I would like to thank James Lavine, Donka Torov, Barbara Partee, Galina Gordishevsky, Boban Arsenijevic, Lanko Marusic, Steve Hewitt, Tanja Samardzic and Mirjana N. Dedaic for their help. |
