- Abstract
The paper presents results of research supported by RSCF grant 14-18-01405. The evolution of actant marking in Balkan Slavic, finalized in loss of case as a category, is explained by replication of Romance grammatical patterns in symbiotic Slavic-Romance ethnic communities. Striking parallels in differential object marking in dialects of Macedonian and Aromanian are provided in support of the main hypothesis.
