Active transitive impersonals in Slavic and beyond: a parallel corpus analysis
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Active transitive impersonals (ATIs), where the verb lacks an overt nominative subject, are more common without an overt Cause phrase than with one. While ATIs are often considered an East Slavic phenomenon, they also appear in other Slavic and even some non-Slavic languages, although personal transitive constructions are often used as equivalents, especially outside of East Slavic.

Scientists found that when people talk about something happening to someone or something, like "It made him shiver," without saying *what* did it, they do this more often when they don't explain *why*. This happens in many languages.

Explicación de la calificación
This paper presents a reasonable corpus analysis of active transitive impersonals in Slavic languages and beyond, offering valuable cross-linguistic comparisons. However, the reliance on translations, limited dataset for some constructions, and broad categorization of equivalents constrain the generalizability of the findings, warranting a rating of 3. Further research with larger, original language datasets and more refined analysis is needed to confirm and expand upon these results.
