B05 - Prominenz-bedingte Strukturen in austronesischen Sprachen mit symmetrischen Diathesen
Sprachen mit symmetrischen Diathesen, in denen es zwei (oder mehr) morphosyntaktisch gleichwertige Konstruktionen für transitive Sachverhalte gibt, sind problematisch für die Hypothese, dass agentive Argumente generell prominenter sind als andere verbale Argumente. Das Projekt erforscht, inwiefern sich in diesen Sprachen dennoch Evidenz für Agensprominenz finden lässt. Untersucht wird, nach welchen Faktoren Sprecher zwischen den verschiedenen transitiven Konstruktionen wählen, welche Wortstellungsbeschränkungen symmetrische Sprachen aufweisen, und die Alternation zwischen dem dynamischen und dem potentiven Verbparadigma.
