12.1.6 Raising
Raising is one of the most curious phenomena in syntax. It may be first

described as a synchronic grammatical process in the following terms:
A verb of mental activity – knowledge, perception, intention and the like – has

two senses, one involving a nominal argument, the other as a propositional argument.
Within a propositional argument, NP is the important topic, most commonly the
clausal subject. That important topic is foregrounded through raising, and is converted

from an argument of the subordinate clause to a grammatical argument – either
subject or object – of the main clause (Givón, 2001b:272).

It may or may not be found in all the languages but Bhojpuri does have the
phenomena of two types: raising to object and raising to subject.

a) Raising to object
Raising to object in Bhojpuri most commonly involves verbs of intention चाह

/cɑɦ/ 'want or wish', perception देख /dekʰ/ 'see', बुझ /buȷ ̈ / 'think', लाग /lɑɡ/, मान /mɑn/

'believe' and cognition समझ /sʌmʌȷ ̈ / 'understand', जान /jɑn/ 'know' etc as a syntactic

blend of the structure of the verb's two senses – the one involving a nominal object,
and the other involving a clausal complement, as shown in (14a-o).
