Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the uses and functions of the Ablative case in the Western Armenian language. The data were collected from Armenian digital journals, published in Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora. The analysis is qualitative and based on theoretical tools of Dik’s Functional Grammar (1997), and Halliday’s Systemic-Functional Grammar (1994; HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2014). We seek to identify the semantic and syntactic functions of the noun marked with the Ablative case. We start from the hypothesis that the different uses of the Ablative case could be explained as interrelated functions or meanings, associated with a particular morpheme and that these meanings could be generalized in terms of the conceptual category of “origin”.
