5 • The Ainu Passive Construction
Abstract
Among the uses of the HA fourth person Tamura (2000, 71-2) discusses
that of cross-referencing the starting point of the action in a passive
construction. A sentence like (1) is regarded as a passive sentence by
virtue of the fact that the actual performer of the event is expressed in
a noun phrase with ‘orowa, an oblique. The performer of the action is
referenced to by the fourth person prefix on the verb. This is different
from the impersonal construction (2) where the indefinite agent is still
marked via the fourth person on the verb but it is not overtly expressed.
