Voice in Austronesian languages
|
|
|
|
Voice has been a central issue in studies on Austronesian languages, especially those belonging to the Western Malayo-Polynesian branch such as Tagalog, Malay/Indonesian, Malagasy and Formosan languages (Taiwan). This course will survey important previous studies to understand basic empirical facts about Austronesian voice systems and the analyses of them offered by previous studies. Topics to be discussed include the so-called "symmetrical voice" hypothesis, extraction restrictions, the licensing of different kinds of arguments, etc. At the end of the course, students will have a clear idea of what are already known and what issues remain to be solved about voice in Austronesian languages, and be prepared to make original contributions to the field.
