Medio-passive voice #4

Open francescomambrini opened 3 years ago

francescomambrini commented 3 years ago

There is no value for the "medio-passive" voice. I see that PROIEL has a set of two values: Voice=Mid,Pas, while the official AGDT-UD has only Mid

Stormur commented 3 years ago

Mid exists as a value for Voice!

But a choice has to be made: one cannot have a form with both Mid and Pass, which UD syntax rather interprets as "either... or..." than "... and ...".

If a form is ambiguous, the "most prototypical" value has to be chosen (I'd say Pass point-blank). If the overlap is systematic and complete (but I think to remember it isn0t the case in Greek), i.e. medium and passive always show the same forms, than only one value has to be chosen.
