The evolution of the Slavic dual: a biolinguistic perspective/ Tatyana G. Slobodchikoff.

Abstract

Developing a new theory of morphosyntactic feature economy in a morphology framework, this book uses a biolinguistic approach to examine the evolution of Slavic languages to discover how some developed a separate dual number category while others have only singular and plural and to explain the evolution of the number category in Slavic languages.
