Abstract: | This dissertation presents a systemic functional analysis of the indeterminate-personal (IP) clause in Contemporary Standard Russian. The classification of the indeterminate-personal clause has been a recurring issue in syntactic taxonomies of the Russian language within the Russian grammatical tradition, but this clause has received scant attention among American Slavic linguists. This neglect is due to the predominant underlying theoretical assumptions of formally-based approaches to Russian syntax. |
