Summary/Abstract: We interpret dativus absolutus structurally as a syntactic analytic construction with two major components– a main one (a participle) and a subordinate one (a substantive), and content-wise we treat dativus absolutus as a quasi-subject-quasi-predicate or quasi-object-quasi-predicate syntagm analogous to a subject-predicate syntagm with a finite verb. Dativus absolutus is one of the manifestations of a common typological phenomenon of the Indo-European languages – the expression of predication through a non-finite verb form and a substantive in an oblique case.
