Title
On The Conditions For Antipassives
Abstract
This survey of the triggers for Antipassives compares the most commonly known conditions under which Antipassive and accusative configurations occur in ergative and split-ergative languages. It is shown that Antipassives and accusative configurations are triggered by similar if not identical semantic conditions. These conditions are always in contrast to the conditions for ergative configurations. A comparison of those triggers in accusative languages shows that they follow parallel patterns. It is confirmed that changes in case configurations are triggered by similar semantic properties, regardless of the typological corner a language comes from.
