This paper seeks to identify causal factors constraining the diachronic dynamics of particular morphosyntactic categories of Slavic. It is suggested that the modern inventory of Slavic languages is not a result of accumulation of historically accidental changes and non-changes. Instead, it is argued that macro-areal pressures constrained by the geographic location and the particular language-contact configuration determine the selection of inherited properties for either retention or loss and, subsequently, innovation. I primarily provide evidence from two categories: verbal person-number indexes (subject agreement markers) and partitivity markers and I also briefly discuss some other fusional categories.
本文旨在确定制约斯拉夫语特定形态句法范畴历时动态变化的因果因素。研究表明，斯拉夫语的现代体系并非历史上偶然变化与未变化积累的结果。相反，有人认为，受地理位置和特定语言接触结构制约的宏观区域压力决定了对继承属性是保留还是舍弃的选择，进而决定了创新。我主要从两个范畴提供证据：动词人称 - 数索引（主语一致标记）和部分性标记，并且我也简要讨论一些其他的融合性范畴。
