Abstract:

The grammatical category of voice covers a wide range of phenomena, including
causatives, applicatives, passives, antipassives, middles, and others. Drawing
on data from over 200 languages, Fernando Zúñiga and Seppo Kittilä illustrate
the semantic, morphological, and syntactic variation of voice across languages
from a range of families and regions. They approach the topic from a broad and
explicit perspective, and discuss a variety of topics that are not always
regarded as voice, in order to make a clear and useful conceptual
delimitation. Clearly organized and accessibly written, the book will be
welcomed by students and scholars of linguistics, especially those interested
in how grammatical categories work.

1. Introduction
2. Changing semantic valency: causatives, applicatives, and related
constructions
3. Changing syntactic valency: passives, antipassives, and related
constructions
4. In search of balance: agent and patient voices
5. The affected subject: reflexives, reciprocals, and middles
6. Covert diatheses: uncoded alternations
7. The fringes of voice
8. Diachronic aspects of voice
9. Revisiting voice theory.
