The Surrey Morphology Group would like to draw your attention to a new
website devoted to a project on 'Extended Deponency'. The idea derives from
the deponent verbs of Latin, which were passive in form but active in
meaning. We take this as the core example of a type of morphological
mismatch where the same inflected form can express mutually exclusive
grammatical functions. Our project is a cross-linguistic typology of this
phenomenon. The website address is:

http://www.surrey.ac.uk/LIS/MB/Deponencymain.htm

We welcome any input.

The project is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (UK)
under grant number RES-000-23-0375.
