Abstract

The paper considers a relatively rare verbal syntactic construction found in East Sakhalin Ainu and in Lingala: an active form of a transitive verb governs simultaneously a direct object and an agentive complement, has no overt syntactic subject and is in the 3rd person plural. In order to characterize this verb form, three sets of formal linguistic notions are introduced and described: voice (with a calculus of logically possible voice grammemes), impersonal construction, and zero lexeme; many illustrations come from Lingala and Kinyarwanda, as well as several other languages. The verb forms under analysis are shown to be the partial demotional passive.

语音、非人格结构和零词素：关键概念的形式化

本文探讨了在东萨哈林阿伊努语和林加拉语中发现的一种相对罕见的动词句法结构：及物动词的主动形式同时支配一个直接宾语和一个状语补语，没有明显的句法主语，并且是第三人称复数。为了描述这种动词形式的特点，我们介绍并描述了三组形式语言概念：语音（逻辑上可能的语音语法的计算）、非人格结构和零词素；许多插图来自林加拉语和基尼亚卢旺达语以及其他几种语言。所分析的动词形式显示为部分去势被动。

期刊介绍： Folia Linguistica covers all non-historical areas in the traditional disciplines of general linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), and also sociological, discoursal, computational and psychological aspects of language and linguistic theory. Other areas of central concern are grammaticalization and language typology. The journal consists of scientific articles presenting results of original research, review articles, overviews of research in specific areas, book reviews, and a miscellanea section carrying reports and discussion notes. In addition, proposals from prospective guest editors for occasional special issues on selected current topics are welcomed.
