Yes, David, I would say ‘dative’ realises Time and ‘accusative’ Duration. Prep phrases are not necessarily used for Marked Themes; they often realise specific relations in time, e.g. ‘before…’, ‘after…’, ‘within…’, ‘during…’ etc. And very often prep phrases with on (+ nom gp in the dative) are used for Time as well, e.g. on þissum geare ‘in this year’.

 

Indeed the ‘accusative’ and ‘dative’ here have nothing to do with direct and indirect objects. They are there to remind us of the morpheme-centric perspective inherited from Greek/Latin traditions ;-)

Thanks Pin

Consistent with the Latin comparison, would you say ‘dative’ eall-um dag-um realises Time and ‘accusative’ eal-ne þo-ne winter realises Duration?

And do prep phrases tend to be used for marked Themes?

 

I often find case labels confusing. They postulate generalised functions from the forms of morphemes, which can conflict with group and clause rank functions.

 

For example, ‘accusative’ implies a ‘direct object’ function in transitive clauses, and ‘dative’ implies an ‘indirect object’ function. But the suffixes in your examples mean nothing of the kind.

 

I find it easier to understand a language by first looking for functions of groups in each clause of a text. The roles of nominal inflections then become apparent, and can be glossed with English grammatical items, instead of Latinate case names. Ditto for verbal inflections E.g.

 

eall

-um

dag

-um

all

at.pl

day

at.pl

‘in all days’

Time

 

eal

-ne

þo

-ne

winter

all

for

the

for

winter

‘for all the winter’

Duration

 

But getting this accepted would be like trying to get the Latin Bible translated into English ;-)

Hi David,

 

Here’s an example with accusative time:

 

Her gewende Cnut cyng to Denemearcon, and ðær wunode ealne þone winter.

‘Here (this year) King Cnut returned to Denmark, and there he stayed all the winter.’ 

(Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Year 1019, my own tentative translation)

 

OE uses prepositional phrases too, like in the famous opening line of Beowulf:

 

Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum

‘in days of yore’

 

And

 

on dæge and æfter dæge

’in (his) day and after (his) day’

 

More often the accusative realises duration (like the Latin ‘accusative of duration of time’); the dative is comparable, I think, to the Latin ‘ablative of time when’ or ‘ablative of time within which’.

Thanks Pin! Very perceptive analysis of ‘the problem’

So ago has drifted towards away, but not all the way ;-)

And this is why I asked Rosemary for OE examples...

 

>on geswyncum ðu etst of ðære eorðan eallum dagum ðines lifes

>‘in pain you shall eat of the earth all the days of your life

>Eallum dagum ‘all days’ is in plural dative.

 

So OE nom gp+dative becomes a prep phr in modern English ‘for all the days [[of your life]]’

Both realising Duration

I’d be interested to see ‘accusative’ time too

Dear colleagues,

 

Thanks very much for the interesting discussion.

 

I agree with David on this one. From above, a Qualifier serves to identify an entity, answering which Thing is being talked about.

 

E.g.

 

- Which children?

- The children [in blue hats].

 

But not:

 

- Which years?

- Some 4,600 years [ago].

 

So not a nominal group, but an adverbial group. The problem may have arisen from the incomplete proportionality in Modern English:

 

(*ago) : long ago : some 4,600 years ago ::

away: far away: about 4,600 miles away

 

In Old English, as Rosemary pointed out, Circumstances of Location in time can be realised by case-inflected nominal groups. 

 

E.g.

 

on geswyncum ðu etst of ðære eorðan eallum dagum ðines lifes

‘in pain you shall eat of the earth all the days of your life’ (Genesis 3:17)

 

Eallum dagum ‘all days’ is in plural dative.

Quite understandable; I can be clumsy... much better to let Michael define the Qualifier function than me...

 

Like the other, ‘ranking’ (i.e. non-embedded) elements of the nominal group, the Qualifier

also has the function of characterizing the Thing; and again the Deictic the serves to signal

that the characteristic in question is defining. But the characterization here is in terms of

some process within which the Thing is, directly or indirectly, a participant. It may be a

major process – that is, a clause, finite or non-finite; or a minor process – a prepositional

phrase (see Section 6.5). Figure 6-3 exemplifies these three variants.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

I genuinely don't follow your understanding of "ago" (= past) as not qualifying years. It is an anomalous little word, having begun its life rank-shifted (a past-participle of a verb, an implicit reduced non-finite clause).

Many thanks Rosemary

That answers my original question. It’s so helpful to talk these things through

 

You can still hear MAKH’s 1985 IFG wording here (emphases his)...

6.2.2.2 Qualifier

What of the element which follows the Thing? The original example, Look at those two splendid old electric trains with pantographs, ended with the phrase with pantographs; this also is part of the nominal group, having a function we shall refer to as Qualifier.

Unlike the elements that precede the Thing, which are words (or sometimes word complexes, like two hundred, very big; see Section 6.3.2), what follows the Thing is either

a phrase or a clause.

.. With only rare exceptions, all Qualifiers are rankshifted.

... Like the other, ‘ranking’ (i.e. non-embedded) elements of the nominal group, the Qualifier

also has the function of characterizing the Thing; and again the Deictic the serves to signal

that the characteristic in question is defining.

 

In some 4,600 years ago, it’s not the adverb ago that is rankshifted, but the nominal group some 4,600 years.

The adverb ago doesn’t ‘characterize’ or define the Thing years. Rather some 4,600 years specifies ‘how long ago’.

 

This is brought out by proportionalities like...

how long ago : how far away ::

very long ago : so far away ::

some 4,600 years ago : about 4,600 miles away

 

thanks again

A surprise to me to see "ago" labelled as "adverb" but I see this labelling is now conventional (used in various dictionaries) so I accept it above.

Etymology: ago - from a Middle English contraction of the past participle of the Old English strong verb agangan = "to come to pass", "to befall".  

 

Note "some" realizes meanings of indefinite plural; compare:

a year ago

some years ago

Interestingly IFG contains many instances with adverb ago/away as Head and nom gp as Premodifier but doesn't attempt to analyse them, even tho they are so common. Of the three types of adv gp Premodifiers listed, they realise [intensification] metaphorically (perhaps one of Whorf’s SAE cryptotypes). E.g.

Dear Scholars,

 

The following might be helpful to anyone who has difficulty in distinguishing nominal groups from adverbial groups.

 

Halliday & Matthiessen (2014: 419-22):

The adverbial group has an adverb as Head, which may or may not be accompanied by modifying elements. …

Premodifiers are grammatical items like not and rather and so; there is no lexical premodification in the adverbial group. …

The items serving as Premodifiers are adverbs belonging to one of three types – polarity (not), comparison (more, less; as, so) and intensification. …

Postmodification is of one type only, namely comparison.

Hi again - as in my first post - a circumstance of time. It's realized by the nominal group ("some 4,600 years ago"), as is usual for constituents of temporal meaning in the English clause. In Old English, such meanings were typically realized by a nominal group in the accusative case (or occasionally - confused through Latin?- by the dative). Perhaps because of their frequent use such realization without preposition for temporal meanings has persisted into Modern English, whereas other circumstantial meanings are usually realized by a prepositional phrase or adverbial group (as was already becoming established in Old English, ie pre- 1100).

Rosemary.

It’s an interesting way of expressing how things happened, isn’t it? I love these clauses – representing events as if things happened all by themselves (ie intransitively), though the causative bit is there, just relegated to the end of the clause in the circumstance, so yes need both transitivity AND ergativity to understand this one:

 

The earth

formed

some 4,600 years ago

from a vast cloud of gas and dust

 

Actor

Process: material

Circ: temp loc

Circ: manner/means

Medium

Process

 

 

 

And probably a look at the periodicity/thematic development of this text would be useful because maybe the writer wants to keep the Theme constant so has structured the clause in this way to do so.

Hello Rosemay and Annabelle,

 

If "formed" is a creative process, and "the earth" is what is created, it can't exist before the process takes place. So it can't be the actor of that process. My memory tells me that somewhere (but I haven't got a refrerence to hand) Halliday talks about an "effected" - the participant created by a process (as opposed to an "affected" - the participant altered by a process). To avoid any confusion, with my (non-anglophone) students I used to use the term "result". I would suggest that "the earth" is effected/result.

 

All the best,

 

David
