Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book discusses whether the participles in passive and perfect constructions in Germanic and Romance are syntacticosemantically identical or just accidentally homophonous. Based on a broad range of synchronic data and some diachronic considerations, it is argued that past participles contain both diathetic as well as aspectual properties. This allows them to alternate between passive and perfect on the basis of the underlying event structure and their syntactic environment.
