| Research Abstract |
The theme of this research project is the impersonal passive in Indo-European languages. Passive sentences can be generally formed exclusively from sentences of verbs with accusative object (transitive verbs), but in some languages as Sanskrit, latin or modern German they can be formed also from sentences with intransitive verbs and into a special sentence type without nominative subject as impersonal passive. This research explained the process of formation, development and decline of this grammatical phenomen of impersonal passieve that the traditional grammar could not make clear and published the results as "Elementary Sanskrit Grammar" and "Introduction to the historical communication theory".
