Active, middle, and passive: the morpho-syntax of Voice
This paper is concerned with the variation found with respect to how languages morphologically mark argument structure (AS) alternations, a variation that I take to be related to the realization of the syntactic Voice head. The paper discusses the behavior of dispositional middles and reflexives in languages such as English as opposed to their Greek counterparts. I will pursue the hypothesis th...
متن کاملPerception of fricative voice distinctions in Greek

The results indicate that: (1) the acoustic correlate of voicing is not a categorical perception effect of fricative voice distinctions; at least not across all places of articulation, and 2) noise duration has a significant effect on fricative voice perception across all plac...
متن کاملWeak and strong NPIs: nobody and anybody in Albanian and Modern Greek

متن کاملMiddle Voice in Formosan Languages
This paper is a survey report of the up-to-date understanding of the verbal pre x ma(and other related forms) in Formosan languages. It will be shown that the pre x expresses situation types that commonly cluster around middle voice markers found across languages (Kemmer 1993), but the middle voice category is never recognized among Formosanists. What comes closest is Huang and Sung (2008), who...
