Abstract

Conceptualization of events is intimately associated with the functional domain of transitivity and with voice the present paper examines the syncretism involved in coding deviations from the prototypical event view, variations in transitivity and voice alternations. It is argued that transitivity and voice are best understood in terms of a series of cognitive dimensions derived from our construal of 'real world events.
