4. Pragmatically motivated voice systems.(On the conceptual framework for voice phenomena *)
While pragmatically motivated voice systems may appear to have little to do with the manner in which an action evolves, they can still be framed in the overall picture of voice as pertaining to the evolutionary properties of an action. Both the direct/inverse and the active/passive opposition concern the origin of an action and its relative discourse status with respect to the terminal point--for example, whether or not the action originates with a first person and terminates in a third person.
First, let us consider the direct/indirect opposition, exemplified by the Plains Cree and Kutenai examples below:
Plains Cree
(46) a. ni-se:kih-a-wak. (direct)
1SG-frighten-DIRECT-3PL
'I frighten them.'
b. ni-se:kih-ik-wak. (inverse)
