Keywords: dative case animate object goal of movement Gospel of Matthew Modern Greek linguotextological method |
Summary: The paper explores the use of dative case meaning an animate object – as the goal of movement – with
the Greek verb ἔρχομαι and its Modern Greek and Church Slavonic / Russian equivalents. The research was carried ou
through the linguotextological approach based on the ancient Greek text of the Gospel of Matthew in comparison with
modern Greek adaptations, as well as translations of the text into the Church Slavonic and Russian languages at differ-
ent times. The scholarly novelty of the present study lies in its comparative diachronic analysis of a specific grammati-
cal phenomenon in Greek, Church Slavonic, and Russian, with particular attention to interlingual contact and processes
of linguistic interaction. The relevance of the study is determined by the use of new textual material and methodological
approaches for the comparative study of these languages. The findings of this comparative analysis lead to conclusions regarding the methods of conveying the dative case used with verbs ἔρχομαι in the modern Greek language, as well as the evolution of this construction in the Russian language. |
