e/Applicative voice

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The applicative voice (abbreviated or )is a grammatical voice which promotes an oblique argument of a verb to the (core) patient argument, and indicates the oblique role within the meaning of the verb. When the applicative voice is applied to a verb, its valency may be increased by one, and intransitive verbs may be converted to transitive verbs. For example, in Yagua "He blows into it" may be expressed as saduu ráviimú, where saduu is "blow" with a third person subject, and ráviimú is an oblique meaning "into an inanimate object." Expressed with an applicative it is saduutára, where ta is a locative applicative and the locative oblique is no longer present. The verb indicates both the agent as before and adds a patient/object through ra; the verb is thus now a transitive one. Applicative constructions are found in various languages, particularly in highly agglutinative languages, such as Bella Coola (Nuxálk), Ubykh, Ainu and Bemba.
