Abstract:

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the morpho-syntactic and
semantic aspects of the antipassive construction from synchronic, diachronic,
and typological perspectives. The nineteen contributions assembled in this
volume address a wide range of aspects pertinent to the antipassive
construction, such as lexical semantics, the properties of the antipassive
markers, as well as the issue of fuzzy boundaries between the antipassive
construction and a range of other formally and functionally similar
constructions in genealogically and areally diverse languages. Purely
synchronically oriented case studies are supplemented by contributions that
shed light on the diachronic development of the antipassive construction and
the antipassive markers. The book should be of central interest to many
scholars, in particular to those working in the field of language typology,
semantics, syntax, and historical linguists, as well as to specialists of the
language families discussed in the individual contributions.
