Abstract:

This book is about recurrent functions of applicative morphology not
included in typologically-oriented definitions. Based on substantial
cross-linguistic evidence, it challenges received wisdom on
applicatives in several ways. First, in many of the surveyed
languages, applicatives are the sole means to introduce a non-Actor
semantic role into a clause. When there is an alternative way of
expression, the applicative counterpart often has no
valence-increasing effect on the targeted root. Second, applicative
morphology can introduce constituents which are not syntactic objects
and/or co-occur with obliques. Third, functions such as conveying
aspectual nuances to the predicate (intensity, repetition,
habituality) or its arguments (partitive P, highly individuated P),
narrow-focusing constituents, and functioning as category-changing
devices are attested in geographically distant and genetically
unrelated languages. Further, this volume reveals that spatial-related
morphology is prone to developing applicative functions in disparate
languages and phyla. Finally, several contributions discuss the
diachrony of applicative constructions and their (non-syntactic)
attested functions, including a case of applicatives-in-the-making.
