Setting out with a general discussion of the historical relation between the two East Baltic languages, this book seeks to explain why, when and how the supine developed into the subjunctive. In doing so, it provides the first exhaustive account of the evolution of the morphosyntactic paradigm of the subjunctive and all its attested forms in the East Baltic dialects. It thereby contributes to our understanding of the emergence of morphosyntactic structures and the typology of infinitive-based verbal formations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Fries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3119149209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783119149204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Mouton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Simon Fries","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46927954247935,"sku":"9783119149204","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6eb763ae-01cd-4ff9-a78b-b49f070e016e.jpg?v=1749373485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-east-baltic-subjunctive-simon-fries-9783119149204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
