Ebook: Medium und Reflexiv: Eine Studie zur Verbsemantik

Unlike other diatheses, medium can display different versions. The study proposes a unified analysis for all versions of medium, in which these versions result not from a change in semantic representation but from the interaction of the argument structure with the semantics of the base verb and the event structure. The analysis is developed for medium and applied to reflexive constructions. There is also discussion of the changes undergone by the interpretation of medium in ancient and modern Greek.
