Abstract:
Studies in voice and transitivity (Estudios de voz y transitividad)
In this collection of papers the phenomenon of voice is addressed both
synchronically and diachronically, and both typological (or areal)
perspectives as well as studies of individual languages are represented.
The majority of contributions in the latter category discuss Uto-Aztecan
languages, but treatments of other languages, such as Purépecha and
Mapuche, are also included.
Although all authors share an over-all functional perspective, different
approaches nevertheless emerge. For instance, among the typological papers,
one views the passive construction through a prototype approach (Comrie);
another characterizes the passive as a family of constructions that have
different diachronic origins, whose footprints are often still discernible
but which are nevertheless united by common functional motivations (Givón);
a third approach defines a canonical type of passive with the aim of
explaining the consistent absence of this particular type in so-called
'active' languages (Wichmann). Some major themes in the individual language
studies are patterns of grammaticalization and issues of iconicity. A
conclusion that cross-cuts the entire volume is that insights into
constructions involving valency change are best achieved through both
detailed descriptive work spanning the lexical and syntactic domains as
well as through a view to historical developments; in short, a panchronic
approach is recommended.
