The aspectual characteristics of voice in the Indo-European family. A short overview. Proto-Indo-European and Anatolian languages. (Part II)

Summary/Abstract: The Proto-Indo-European reconstructions give us the opportunity to observe mostly the formal and lexical side of the ancestor language, revealing only the main functional-semantic features of its system. In the past more than 120 years since the first edition of Brugmann’s and Delbrück’s “Grundriß der vergleichenden Grammatik der indogermanischen Sprachen“, a major work in the field of historical linguistics, the researchers reach a consensus on various morphosintactic issues by way of comparisons and typological contrasts. Thе present study attempts to fit in this context, examining the systemic links between lexical aspect, the Perfect and the emergence of voice. For this purpose, the aspect and voice features of all ancient IE languages are examined and their development is monitored in view of the registered changes in the perfect subsystem. The conclusions of the diachronic analysis are related to the possible change in the linguistic type of the IE diathesis (from ergative to nominative) and lead to the formulation of some structural relationships in the IE diathesis. Finally, a diathesis and voice typology in IE languages is proposed on the basis of semantic features such as resultative and stative.
