概要 This monograph presents state-of-the-art research on Transitivity Alternations, covering (anti-)causatives, passives, and middles. Alexiadou et al. introduce the novel concept of expletive Voice, a semantically inert Voice head, resulting from analyses based upon a wide range of data from English, German, Greek, and other languages. By using their typology of Voice head, Alexiadou et al. show us that seemingly multifaceted phenomena of transitivity alternations can be explained in a unified way. At the same time, they have elaborated on useful tools for exploring the decomposing structures of verbs and participles into syntactic layers, such as the distribution of PPs related to external arguments.
