“…A passive/anticausative origin can cautiously be proposed for Bantu MMs that go back to the Proto-Bantu Neuter suffix *-ɩk-. This suffix might have been originally an anticausative/passive marker (Chavula 2018;Schadeberg & Bostoen 2019: 179-181), and its reflexes gave rise to MMs in some Bantu languages, as is the case of Yeyi -aak (Seidel 2008: 251-252). An anticausative source has also been proposed for the Bribri MM -r (Pacchiarotti & Kulikov 2022).…”

“…Other aspectual-like sources are dubious. The Proto-Bantu Neuter suffix *-ɩk-has also been treated as a stative suffix, but, as discussed in §4.1.2, an anticausative/passive origin is more likely (Chavula 2018). A connection with an original stative marker has also been proposed for the Tibeto-Burman suffix -si and for the prefix ma-of Pagu, which is a borrowing from Austronesian languages (Wimbish 1991: 34-36;Holton 2006).…”

“…Schadeberg & Bostoen 2019: 179). However, in WS the neuter suffix does not have any of the extended functions described in some languages, such as passive voice or stimulus-oriented perception (Dom et al 2016: 132-134;2018: 168;Chavula 2018;Bernander 2018). The reflexive prefix, on the other hand, has developed into a general intransitivizer, extending its functions beyond only the reflexive into middle voice (see Dom et al 2016; 2018 for further elaboration on the complex linguistic concept of middle voice from a Bantu perspective; Ngwasi 2021 for more on the functions of reflexives in Tanzanian Bantu languages).…”

“…Considerando a relação entre as extensões verbais e a transitividade, os efeitos semânticos de algumas extensões (como as causativas, aplicativas e passivas, por exemplo) têm sido compreendidos como fenômenos sintáticos, a partir da ideia de operações de alteração de valência (Guthrie, 1967-71;Chavula, 2016;Dom et al, 2018). No entanto, pretendo demonstrar que as extensões atuam na alteração de transitividade que, conforme venho expondo, tem no número de participantes apenas um de seus parâmetros.…”

“…As extensões verbais mencionadas foram tratadas no capítulo 5 -As extensões verbais bantu e a orientação ao evento. Nele, apresento um rol de extensões reconstruídas para o proto-bantu e detalho o funcionamento de quatro morfemas derivacionais aos quais normalmente se atribui uma função de "mudança de valência" (Guthrie, 1967-71;Chavula, 2016;Dom et al, 2018): o causativo, o aplicativo, o neutro e o passivo. Os dois primeiros aumentam a transitividade das construções em que aparecem ao passo que os segundos a reduzem.…”
