Research Abstract

The result of our study shows the following:
1) Russian converbs can be concerned with foregrounds, which previous studies could not have elucidated. Russian converbs of the perfective aspect formed from the stem of the present tense, which were used only in 18-19-th century, more actively participate in the foregrounds than Russian converbs of the perfective aspect formed from the stem of the past tense. Furthermore, unique variants of Russian converbs "Russian converbs of the perfective aspect formed from the stem of the present tense" are largely included in low transitivity phenomena.
2) Japanese converbs more frequently appear in the foregrounds than Russian converbs, on which subjectivity exerts a deep influence. As compared with many languages, Russian strictly adheres to a rule of the subject of converbs which coincide with the subject of finite verbs. But finding out a lot of subjects of converbs which don't coincide with subjects of finite verbs, we explicate that the degree of the subject's coincidence correlates with inalienability regarding subjects of converbs and finite verbs.
