When an antipassive isn’t an antipassive anymore

Abstract: This paper presents the Actor Voice (av) construction in Kelabit, a Western Austronesian language spoken in Northern Sarawak, Malaysia. It compares Kelabit av with prototypical antipassives and related constructions in the more conservative Western Austronesian languages, using case studies of West Greenlandic and Tagalog.

“…To my knowledge, the coexistence of an inverse (or actor) voice and a functionally overlapping syntactic antipassive has not been described yet. Furthermore, while in some languages there is a diachronic relationship between an antipassive and an inverse (Konnerth 2021;Polinsky 2017) or between an antipassive and an actor voice (Aldridge 2011;Hemmings 2021), in Movima there is no sign of a diachronic or synchronic relationship between the two constructions. The goal of this study, therefore, is to provide a detailed description of the Movima antipassive construction against the background of a symmetrical-voice analysis, and to find out how the antipassive interacts with the direct-inverse alternation of transitive clauses.…”
