Abstract:

This volume surveys a variety of verb valency change phenomena among diverse
languages and from diverse theoretical viewpoints. It offers typological
studies comparing languages in topics like applicative polysemy, complex
predicate formation and locative alternation, but also works describing the
different valency-changing operations in specific languages including West
Circassian, Huasteca Nahuatl, Tlachichilco Tepehua and Seri, and works dealing
with specific valency change constructions, such as tla- constructions in
Nahuatl, resultatives in Yaqui, antipassives in Mocoví, and labile verbs in
Arabic. This book aims to put this variety of backdrops in perspective and to
clarify the notion and mechanisms of verb valency change. Both scholars and
expert readers will get in these works a better understanding of the different
verb valency changing operations and of the typological aspects involved in
this phenomenon, together with a better grasp of how argument realization and
verb morphology are connected in some languages.
