Abstract:

This study is about voice system in Burushaski, focusing especially on the
middle voice (MV) construction. It claims that the [dd-] verbal prefix is an
overt morphological middle marker for MV constructions, while the [n-] verbal
prefix is a morphological marker for passive voice. The data primarily come
from the Hunza dialect of Burushaski, but analogous phenomena can be observed
in other dialects. This research is based on a corpus of 120 dd-prefix verbs.
This research has shown that position {-2} on the verb template is occupied by
voice-marker in Burushaski. The author argues that the middle marker is a
semantic category of its own and that it is clearly distinguished from the
reflexive marker in this language. The analysis of the phenomenon in this
study only comes from the dialect of Hunza Burushaski, so a lot of research
remains to be done on the other three dialects of Burushaski: Yasin dialect,
Nagar dialect and Srinagar dialect.
