</b><span style="font-variant:small-caps">Lexical restrictions on grammatical relations in voice constructions<br>
</span>Conveners: Eva van Lier and Alena Witzlack-Makarevich<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt"><b><u>Deadline: 11 November 2018</u></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt"><b>Description<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;text-align:justify">In many languages, grammatical relations are to some extent lexically restricted, in the sense that some lexical verbs or verb-classes take different argument coding frames than others. Such lexical
effects are especially well-studied with respect to so-called “non-canonical” case marking (e.g. Tsunoda 1985, Aikhenvald et al. 2001, Bhaskararao & Subbarao 2004, Bickel et al. 2014, Malchukov & Comrie 2015). Lexical effects on grammatical relations defining
constructions other than case marking have also been reported. They seem to be particularly common with voice-related constructions, such as passive, antipassive, applicative, and causative.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;text-align:justify">However, the study of lexical restrictions on voice-related phenomena is mostly limited to investigations of individual languages (e.g. Blevins 2003 on passive, Arkadiev & Letuchiy 2008, Say 2008,
Heaton 2017, Polinsky 2017 on antipassive). Moreover, while some studies assume that lexical restrictions are cross-linguistically recurrent and to a large extent semantically determined (e.g. Levin 1993), many cases of idiosyncratic lexical restrictions have
also been identified and whole typologies of languages have been proposed in some frameworks as to how lexicon and syntax interact in voice constructions (e.g. Reinhart & Siloni 2005).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:6.0pt;text-align:justify">In short, despite the apparent pervasiveness of lexical effects voice constructions, detailed intra- and cross-linguistic studies about the behavior of specific (groups of) verbs and about various
construction types is still largely lacking. In addition, little is known about clustering patterns across verbs, constructions, language families or areas, as well as about possible explanations for such patterns.<o:p></o:p></p>
