Popis: The dative-marked argument of the verb dokéō ‘seem’ in Classical Greek displays syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties that qualify it as a non-canonical sub- ject. To substantiate this claim, three phenomena are analyzed, all involving corefer- ence resolution across clause boundaries: long-distance reflexivization, interclausal coreference, and case mismatch in participial constructions. For the latter phenom- enon, the observed mismatch between case marking and referential properties is captured by positing the same coreference mechanism for finite clauses and for a class of participial constructions that qualify as a full clausal domain.
