Focusing on categories (a), (c), and (d), Malchukov suggests that an explanation of voice polysemies may partly reside in shared syntactic features, which he summarizes in the form of a semantic map. In Chapter 2 of Part V, Søren Wichmann investigates the question of whether there are implicational hierarchies constraining which verbs undergo different alternations across languages. He asks whether it can be predicted, for instance, that if a language can apply an antipassive to a verb meaning FEAR then it can also apply an antipassive to a verb meaning EAT.
