The voice domain in Baltic and its neighbours
Introduction
Abstract
This article outlines the aims, methodological approaches and research topics of the thematic volume Studies in the Voice Domain in Baltic and Its Neighbours. It also briefly characterises the individual contributions to the volume, highlighting their main ideas and pointing out their relevance to ongoing discussions as well as the impulses they can give to further (also cross-linguistic) research. The grammatical domains explored in the volume are the passive, the middle voice and the causative.
