Alternation ‘voice alternation - passive’ (Coded)

As opposed to Classical Greek which had a three-way Voice morphological distinction, active, middle and passive, Modern Greek has a two-way distinction, active and non-active (see Alexiadou & Doron 2011). The Greek passive is synthetic and licenses agents and instruments, but not causers and causing events (see Alexiadou et al. 2006). The Agent of the passive is optionally encoded by a prepositional phrase featuring apó + accusative
