К вопросу о грамматикализации страдательных причастий прошедшего времени в старорусском языке
The article analyzes the functionning of the past passive participles (PPP) in the preterit meaning used without auxiliary in the Russian language of the XVIIth c. on the data of private letters and the first Russian handwritten newspaper Kuranty. The grammatical interpretation of this use is proposed in the paper. By the evolution of the old temporal system the PPP tend to grammaticalize and transform into special form which has the preterit meaning and doesn’t need indication on the action’s subject. Different types of the constructions with PPP in this function (the PPP agrees with the subject / has the neuter form by the subject in Nom. or Acc.) reflect different stages of the grammaticalization process, which wasn’t fully realized in the history of Russian, but reached the final phase in Polish.
