. . . . . . . . . . . . Introduction . Prototypical vs. Neglected Type I Type II Type III Conclusions References Western Indonesian languages *“Western Indonesian languages” include languages with applicative morphology that is separate from voice. They are primarily located in Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali, Lombok) but also Malaysia and Brunei. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 / 27

Type I Type II Type III Conclusions References (Symmetrical) voice and applicative 1 It is important to note that western Indonesian languages have symmetrical voice systems: 2 Generally speaking, voice combines with applicative morphology (invariably suffjxes). 3 Afgects some terminology, i.e., “applied argument” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 / 27 ▶ Multiple transitive voices ▶ None of which is clearly the “basic”

Type I Type II Type III Conclusions References “Prototypical” Applicatives Our working defjnition for “prototypical” applicative construction: 1 Increases valency over a base construction by one. 2 Selects one of several oft-discussed (or “common”) roles for its applied argument. The former is syntactic, the latter is both semantic and syntactic. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 / 27 ▶ goal ▶ location ▶ benefjciary ▶ instrument ▶ …

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Introduction Prototypical vs. Neglected Type I Type II Type III Conclusions References Type I: Valency-increasing, “neglected” role for applied argument These can be even more common than the prototypical applicatives. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 / 27 ▶ Type I non-prototypical applicative functions in western Indonesia ▶ Causative function ▶ Selects stimulus, theme role for applied argument
