Passive Constructions in Lithuanian
Work detail
This unique volume comprises a monograph and a set of articles by renowned typologist Emma Geniusiene which all focus on the topic of morphologically passive constructions in Lithuanian. It is the first translation into English of the author's original work from the 1970s. It offers a rich treasury of data, a detailed structural description of all morphologically passive constructions, and an examination of the functions which these constructions have in the discourse. The addition of modern interlinear morpheme-by-morpheme glosses to hundreds of linguistic examples and expert editorial work have turned the hard-to-access material into a timeless resource available for the first time to a broad international readership. The volume will be of value to descriptive linguists, typologists, morphologists and formal syntacticians, as well as to scholars of information structure and functional text analysis. It is an exciting addition to the linguistic literature and a fitting tribute to the author.
