Transitivity, Valency, and Voice

Beschreibung

This book explores three central concepts in clausal structure: transivity, valency, and voice. Denis Creissels draws up a novel theoretical and terminological framework to study the considerable cross-linguistic variation observed in these phenomena and to compare their manifestations in the grammars of individual languages.
