Voice constructions in Southeast Asian Languages: Thai and Black Hmong examples (Léa Mouton & Karl Seifen)
In this study we examine voice constructions in Thai (Tai-Kadai) and Black Hmong (Hmong-Mien). We show that voice is fairly productive in Southeast Asian languages and that a number of constructions fit in this category: (adversative) passive, causative, benefactive, and in some cases, object-marking.
