This monograph explores the properties of passive and middle voice constructions in
Norwegian and Swedish, concentrating on the linguistic variation related to these
two constructions in Mainland Scandinavian. At an empirical level, we provide a detailed
discussion of the morphosyntax and semantics of the two main types of passives in
both languages, lexical (s-) and periphrasitic (bli-) passives. At a theoretical level,
we propose an architecture of the language faculty where exponents play a central
role. Exponents are selected to identify the structures generated by the grammar and
provide a platform that make these units interpretable by the sensori-motor and conceptual-intentional
interfaces. Exponents this play an essential role in determining the well-formedness
of linguistic structures. We demonstrate how different syntactic structures identified
and lexicalized by exponents in these two languages are capable of capturing the microvariation
observed in the voice systems of these two languages in a straightforward way. The
amount of linguistic information (i.e., aspect and mood) identified by each exponent
in each language determines the types of complements and specifiers that can be integrated
into and lexicalized by a given exponent. Although our approach shares certain affinities
with other neo-constructionist approaches, a novel proposal we advance in this book
is that exponents are housed in an intermediate level of structure that exists between
the narrow syntax and its external interfaces. This exponency-level ( -structure)
allows for a more parsimonious theoretical analysis that does not sacrifice descriptive
adequacy
