Out-of-control is non-bundling Voice

This paper is concerned with the so-called ‘out-of-control’ morphology (hence, forth. OOC). which is attested in Salish languages (cf. Davis and Demirdache: 2000)) and also in Tagalog and Malagasv (cf. Travis (2000a)), I argue that similar OOC effects can be found in Polish and that most of the properties of OOC can be accounted for under the causative analysis. Thus, building on the work by Pylkkänen (2002), I argue that OOC morphology is the realization of Cause° without an external argument (Causer). The paper also examines selectional properties o Cause, the conclusion being that Cause attaches after the category-defining head but before a phase boundary. I also establish that Polish has a high Applicative head in its inventory of functional heads and that this head is employed in one species of OOC, namely the inversion construction.
