The articles gathered in this volume explore the complex phenomena of grammatical voice and valency changes in Baltic in unprecedented depth and with admirable clarity. The authors carefully untangle the type of voice or valency change from both its function and its realisation, look closely at non-canonical behaviour of constructions such as the passive and the impersonal, investigate in detail the syntax and semantics of morphological causatives, and revisit the anticausative, middle and other uses of the reflexive marker with a fresh and rigorous approach. The argumentation is amply illustrated with examples from corpora. The result is an excellent collection which will stimulate interest in typologists and theoretical syntacticians alike.
