Abstract
The coding of antipassive constructions displays crosslinguistically irregular though noteworthy patterns. It commonly involves a phonologically overt form, labeled here antipassivizer. However, this segmental coding is not the only way to signal an antipassive meaning. In some languages, antipassive constructions can also involve a change in a verbal stem. This non-linear morphological type of coding has not, however, attracted much attention among linguists so far. It is the aim of this study to fill this gap. Given also that an antipassivizer may have different origins, another goal is to bridge the synchronic investigation of these markers with their diachronic description in order to provide a survey of the most common forms, which developed into an antipassive function.
