Frontmatter -- Acknowledgements -- Contents -- Abbreviations -- 1 Introduction -- 2 The Symmetry of the Voices in Indonesian, Balinese, Totoli, and Tagalog -- 3 Linking Semantic Arguments to Syntax -- 4 Coreness, Obliqueness, and the Status of the Passive Actor -- 5 A Modified LFG Approach to Linking -- 6 Conclusion -- Appendix -- References -- Index of subjects
Summary: This book is an in-depth study of the voice systems of Totoli, Balinese, Indonesian, and Tagalog, which shows that the symmetrical nature of these systems poses a problem to current linking theories. It provides an analysis of symmetrical linking within two grammatical theories (LFG & RRG) and develops a modified LFG linking mechanism that sheds light on the differences as well as the similarities of symmetrical and asymmetrical voice systems.
