Mapping Halkomelem grammatical relations

Mapping theory, which adds a level of morphosyntactic argument structure to the theory of relational grammar provides a means for capturing cross-linguistic generalizations heretofore uncharacterizable in classic RG. This paper develops a mapping theory treatment of several voice phenomena with special reference to data from Halkomelem Salish. The mapping analysis is shown to be better than the classic RG analysis in several respects
