Rezumat: | This article investigates the genitival system of Old Romanian from a double perspective: historical and synchronic. A difficult problem in the diachrony of Romanian genitives is the emergence of the genitival agreement marker al from a definite article. Based on Old Romanian data, supported by Latin and comparative Romance evidence, I propose a reconstruction of this process, which explains the situations in which al was not generalized (after the suffixal article and inside non-argumental bare NPs). I also address the problems raised by the genitival system of Modern and Old Romanian for the general theories of Case and agreement, arguing that the existence of agreeing Genitives and the alternation between agreeing and prepositional Genitives support upward probing and the view of structural Case as an uninterpretable counterpart of the categorial feature of the Case licensor. |
