This book, originally published in 2000, examines 'valency-changing mechanisms' (phenomena including passives and causatives) in some of the most interesting languages in the world. The distinguished team of authors has drawn on original fieldwork in five continents in this study, which will provide valuable insights both for formal theoreticians and for linguistic typologists.
