[Lingtyp] Today's Topics: new publication March 5 (Janic & Witzlack-Makarevich)

[Katarzyna Janic]

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the recently published volume  
on antipassive constructions. This book provides a comprehensive  
treatment of the morpho-syntactic and semantic aspects of the  
antipassive construction from synchronic, diachronic, and typological  
perspectives. The nineteen contributions assembled in this volume  
address a wide range of aspects pertinent to the antipassive  
construction, such as lexical semantics, the properties of the  
antipassive markers, as well as the issue of fuzzy boundaries between  
the antipassive construction and a range of other formally and  
functionally similar constructions in genealogically and areally  
diverse languages. Purely synchronically oriented case studies are  
supplemented by contributions that shed light on the diachronic  
development of the antipassive construction and the antipassive  
markers. The book should be of central interest to many scholars, in  
particular to those working in the field of language typology,  
semantics, syntax, and historical linguists, as well as to specialists  
of the language families discussed in the individual contributions.
