On the functions of the retrospective shift markers in the languages of the Volga-Kama Sprachbund and Russian
- The term retrospective shift marker is used in description of temporal constructions, which include a TAME-marked finite lexical verb and a finite-origin item petrified from the 3rd person singular past tense form of the verb ‘to be’. This ‘was’-element functions as a shift marker that moves the interpretation of an event to past from the deictic location of the speaker. Constructions of this kind are found in several Eurasian languages, including Turkic, Uralic, Slavic and Northwest Caucasian.
