The constructions of this group are attributed to that type of verbal constructions the main meaning of which is possessiveness. Reflexiveness in this case is secondary matter. The elimination of the explicit reflexive attribute does not change the meaning of the statement, i.e. reflexiveness of the sentence may be perceived implicitly. Such constructions may be divided into several minor sub-groups.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">Constructions with the dative case of the reflexive pronoun </span><em><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 8pt;">sau </span></em><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 8pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">added to the verb to stress the interest of the subject basically function in the same way as the reflexive particle.

Such sentences are clearly ambiguous and a wider context is necessary to understand their real meaning. Reflexive verbs are more appropriate for the constructions under discussion. Therefore, they are more widely used in modern Lithuanian. In general the usage of the verb to denote reflexive possessiveness is narrower than the usage of the pronoun in the old writings, whereas in the modem Lithuanian it is the reflexive verbs which prevail to express reflexive possessiveness. The function of reflexive verbs to denote actions performed for the sake of the subject is comparatively new. The analysis of the constructions in the old writings and their comparison with the equivalents in modern Lithuanian lead to the conclusion that the expression of reflexive possessiveness in the Lithuanian language is in the process of evolving from analytical to synthetic constructions.</span></p> |
