Abstract In this paper, I give an analysis of the syntax of the antipassive construction in the Eskimo-Aleut language family. In this account, I follow previous works, such as Benua (1997), Basilico (2004, 2012), Aldridge (2012), and Johns and Kučerová (2017) and posit that the antipassive, oblique argument occupies a different position than the transitive, absolutive object. However, I do not argue that the absolutive direct object argument and the oblique antipassive object occupy the same base position. Instead, I analyze the antipassive marker as an element which creates an argument position: it turns the verb to which it is attached from a predicate of events into a relation between an event and an entity, introducing the undergoer thematic role predicate and its argument. By considering that the antipassive morpheme introduces an argument, rather than saturating or demoting one, we explain a number of interesting phenomena: why ‘agentive’ verbs do not appear with an antipassive morpheme while ‘patientive’ verbs do, why the antipassive is associated with the inchoative as well as the applicative, and why transitive impersonal verbs do not undergo antipassivization.

反被动增加了一个论点

摘要本文对Eskimo-Aleut语言家族中反被动构造的语法进行了分析。在这种情况下，我遵循了以前的作品，例如Benua（1997），Basilico（2004、2012），Aldridge（2012）和Johns andKučerová（2017），并假设反被动的，倾斜的论证与被动的论证所处的位置不同，绝对对象。但是，我并不认为绝对直接对象自变量和倾斜反被动对象具有相同的基本位置。取而代之的是，我将反被动标记分析为一个产生自变量位置的元素：它将它所附加的动词从事件谓词转变为事件与实体之间的关系，并引入了主体主题角色谓词及其论点。考虑到反被动语素引入了一个论点，
