Topic: Mediopassive voice

	Mediopassive voice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mediopassive voice is a grammatical voice which subsumes the meanings of both the middle voice and the passive voice.
		Ancient Greek also had a mediopassive voice in the present, imperfect, future, perfect, and pluperfect tenses, but in the aorist and future tenses the mediopassive voice was replaced by two voices, one middle and one passive.
		Spanish is an example of a modern language with a mediopassive voice, normally indicated by the use of a reflexive pronoun.

	Grammatical voice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In grammar, voice is the relationship between the action or state expressed by a verb, and its arguments (subject, object, etc.).
		In the English language, the English passive voice is periphrastic; that is, it is modelled using an ad hoc phrase structure with a different word order, an auxiliary verb and a participle of the main verb.
		In other languages, such as the Latin language, the passive voice is simply marked on the verb by inflection: the passive voice uses different endings than the active voice.

	Glossary
		A voice usually found in ergative languages, in which a transitive verb becomes intransitive, its subject being changed from the ergative/agentive case to the absolutive/patientive case.
		The antipassive voice found in many ergative languages preserves the subject but demotes the object (detransitivization in ergative languages also demotes the subject in a way, by turning an agent into a patient).

	The Castilian reflexes of ABHORRERE/ABHORRESCERE: a case-study in valency
		I use the term 'valency' in a more restricted sense than is sometimes usual[1] to refer especially to properties of 'voice' and 'transitivity', although these properties in their turn relate to a number of combinatorial features of verbs.
		However, the boundary between mediopassive and passive is hazy in Castilian, since the reflexive, which is the archetypical exponent of the mediopassive, is increasingly also an exponent of the passive[3].
		The past participle of a (mediopassive?) reflexive verb is passive with respect to the corresponding non-reflexive verb and active with respect to the reflexive verb itself: thus enfurecido is also active with respect to enfurecerse.

		Morpholexical rules in Polish The aim of the paper is to suggest a unified account of all passive and passive-like constructions in Polish which have traditionally been described as passive, mediopassive, or impersonal passive, and which have presented problems of analysis.
		I would like to propose a tripartite classification of all the relevant constructions into passive, impersonal, and reflexive (the last category including the traditional 'mediopassive/impersonal reflexive'), to show that each category involves a different operation and to demonstrate how the type of the operation accounts for the distinctive properties of the construction.
		In the light of this analysis, constructions which have traditionally been called 'mediopassive' result from the dissociation of the highest argument from its thematic role of Agent, without the delinking of the subject function (i.e.

	Greek Inflectional Endings
		Of the Accents only the 'rough breathing' or 'h' will be needed, since the others are voice pitches, which have been traditionally been misunderstood as Stresses in prose, to be ignored in verse.
		The Mediopassive participles use the endings Masc.-menos, Fem mene, Neut menon attached to whatever stem the verb has at that point, and these are clearly distinctive and easy to remember.
		After one has mastered the general ranks of the Active and Mediopassive forms, one could be stunned by the learning that all these various forms in their proper tenses have to be duplicated twice, in the Subjunctive and Optative 'Moods'.

		Moulton is certainly right in saying that the term should be applied to all three voices if to any.

		Of fundamental importance for the later developments in Semitic is the ambivalence of the reconstructed 'middle-perfect' form ya-p-t-aras (intransitive ya-q-t-arVb 'he is close' and 'he got close') between the perfect and the mediopassive perfective (cf.

	Everything You Wanted to Know about Tocharian
		Tocharian verbs preserve the PIE distinction between active and mediopassive voice.
		However, much of the information that was gleaned from analysis of the language ended up having a "negative" effect, in that the data upset a number of neat and convenient isoglosses that linguists studying IE languages had come up with.
		For example, prior to the discovery of Tocharian, the occurrence of -r as a marker of the mediopassive form of the verb was only substantiated in the Celtic and Italic branches of the IE language family.

	Teonaht Verbs: Volitional and Non-Volitional, copyright Sally Caves
		The active voice of the Teonaht verb and its simple prefixes can be modified further by three aspectual particles which express habitual, completed, and potential action.
		Talking about the mediopassive in Teonaht is difficult, because it is a construct, and not a voice.
		It offers special difficulties to classical scholars, where "mediopassive" and "middle voice" are practically interchangeable terms used to refer to the reflexive voice in ancient Greek.

	RAIXE VENETE
		Venetic was rather archaic in phonetics; its vowels could be either long or short, numerous diphthongs existed.
		Four types of conjugation were used in Venetic, obviously all tenses merged into two: the present and the past (with maybe sigmatic aorist forms).
		Samples of the mediopassive voice with -r endings were found.

	Conjugations (from Germanic languages) -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		The Proto-Indo-European verb seems to have had five moods (indicative, imperative, subjunctive, injunctive, and optative), two voices (active and mediopassive), three persons (first, second, and third), three numbers (singular, dual, and plural), and several verbal nouns (infinitives) and adjectives (participles).
		In Germanic these were reduced to indicative, imperative, and subjunctive moods; a full active voice plus passive found only in Gothic; three persons; full singular and plural forms and dual forms found only in Gothic; and one infinitive (present) and two participles (present and past).
		The Proto-Indo-European tense-aspect system (present, imperfect, aorist, perfect) was reshaped to a single tense contrast between present and past.
