Indirect antipassive in Circassian
Ch. 15. P. 483–514.
Arkadiev P., Letuchiy A.
The article focuses on antipassive formation in Adyghe and Kabardian (Circassian < West Caucasian), polysynthetic languages with ergative alignment of basic morphosyntax. The Circassian antipassive is typologically unusual in several respects. First, it is derived not only from transitive, but also from intransitive verbs: in these cases, it eliminates the indirect object. Thus, antipassive in Circassian targets an object argument, but not necessarily the direct object, contradicting the general ergative patterning. Second, the Circassian antipassive is expressed by the change of the root-final vowel, which complicates the determination of the direction of the valency change. Third, although the Circassian antipassive mainly fulfils the semantic functions typologically associated with antipassives, sometimes the syntactic type of the argument (i.e. nominal vs. clause) is relevant for the choice of the valency frame as well.

In this paper, the hypothesis of semantic invariants, which claims that the selection of natural telicizer prefixes depends on the semantics of the verb, is refuted based on verbs derived from English loanwords. The data from neologism verbs, collected through a Google Forms survey, demonstrate the existence of a universal natural telicizer prefix za-, the ...

“Defective” verb žīwǰ ‘love’ in Shughni only has the Perfect stem, but lacks Present and Preterite stems. Instead, to express these tenses, Shughni uses complex verbs with auxiliary verbs čīdow ‘do’ and vidow ‘be’. This paper attempts to describe the distribution of three constructions: the independent žīwǰ and the two complex verbs which use it, ...

Likert scales rely on the assumption that psychological attributes are ordinal, meaning that the attribute levels a, b, and c are in transitive relations. Testing transitivity is possible through pairwise comparisons of attribute levels. Previous tests showed that people can violate transitivity, which calls into question the basic assumption of rating scales. We hypothesized that ...

Many Iranian languages have developed differential object marking (DOM). Since many languages have lost case inflection, special markers were used to mark a direct object. In different Iranian languages, DOM may depend on different factors: specificity hierarchy; tense and aspect or information structure [Windfuhr 2009: 33; Bossong 1985]. In Shughni special marking of an object ...

An algebraic variety X is called a homogeneous variety if the automorphism group Aut(X) acts on X transitively, and a homogeneous space if there exists a transitive action of an algebraic group on X. We prove a criterion of smoothness of a suspension to construct a wide class of homogeneous varieties. As an application, we ...

В статье анализируется понимание агентивности японскими лингвистами как в ходе исторического становления данного понятия, так и в контексте функционирования этой семантической категории в японском языке на современном этапе. Агентивность является важной языковой универсалией, влияющей на формирование как глубинных, так и поверхностных синтаксических структур, в итоге определяя характеристику любого языкового высказывания. Недостаточная степень изученности данного понятия ...

В работе рассматривается порядок дативных дополнений в связи с их аргументным статусом вслед за гипотезой, сформулированной в [Boneh, Nash 2017]. Согласно этой гипотезе, локативные (аргументные) дополнения расположены в синтаксической структуре ниже прямых дополнений, а бенефактивные (неаргументные) выше, отчего ожидается, что базовым порядком слов будут V-DO-IO и V-IO-DO соответственно. Контролируя другие параметры, влияющие на порядок дополнений ...

This article deals with the history of oppositions of transitivity and the evolution of the system of labile verbs (verbs which admit changes in transitivity without formal change of the verb, cf. La clé tourna dans la serrure ~ Pierre tourna la clé dans la serrure). It focuses on the evolution of labile verb systems ...

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 ...

The article deals with the Tundra Nenets word-formation markers, which can be called antipassive. Their attachment to the verb stem affects the syntactic status of the P-argument of the two-place transitive verb and may also impose certain semantic or pragmatic constraints on the interpretation of the P-argument. Antipassivization in Tundra Nenets is closely related to ...

Measuring psychological attributes, such as motivation, typically involves rating scales, assuming that an attribute can be ordered, and that ratings represent this order. Previously, only the first assumption had been tested, albeit limited. First, we checked the ordinal structure of motivation, looking at whether people can establish transitive relations between motivation levels in pairwise comparisons; ...

Measures of psychological attributes, such as motivation, typically involve rating scales, assuming that an attribute can be ordered. If an attribute has an ordinal structure, its levels stand in ordinal relations to one another, and these must be transitive. We tested if transitivity is preserved when people compare different motives in terms of their importance ...

The article focuses on antipassive derivation in Amguema Chukchi. Antipassive in Chukchi can be formed by means of two affi xes: the prefi x ine- / ena- forms a pure antipassive and the suffi x -tku / -tko combines antipassive and iterative functions. The former is described in literature for some varieties of Chukchi as ...

Measurement in social sciences implies that the measured feature is quantitative, or
in other words that it is possible not only to arrange the values of any given attribute, but also
to express the difference between ordered magnitudes using a certain unit of measurement.
However the need to verify this basic assumption is often ignored. And though there ...

The main goal of our paper is to give a first, general description of middle voice in Bantu. As will be shown, this language group has a set of verbal derivational morphemes that challenges some of the concepts related to the middle domain. First of all, as of yet no description has been found of a language ...
