o The category of Voice is realized only partially by English verbs
o ĺ What types of verbs have both voices (= realise the category)?
– In Russian: Only Monotransitive Verbs followed by the direct Object;
– In English: verbs that take any kind of object (direct, indirect or prepositional).

o In the periphery of the functional-semantic field of Directionality there are
non-morphological means:
– the grammaticalized construction “verb + reflexive Pronoun” which expresses
the notion of a self-directed action. Controversy over its status:
(1) the ‘reflexive voice’ ĺ an analytical morphological form with no syn-
tactic relations between its components;
(2) there’s no auxilliary element ĺ a phrase, a syntactic unit with syntac-
tic relations between its components.
