- I mentioned [[中動態の世界 意志と責任の考古学]] in [[We project well.]] - Kokubun proposes a verb history (he speculates) in this book - there were two type of verbs about 2000 years ago - active ... starts with the subject and ends outside - middle ... starts with the subject and include itself - there was no category to treat person or people as an owner or cause - there was only one type of verb in past of past (more than 2000 years) - middle like verb ... no distinction for where it happened - also by whom - the verb didn't even exist in very origin - nouns ... noun-like verbs as generalizations of actions - and today, there is strong tendency to separate active and passive (and lost middle type) - it involves the "will" to do everything - it could be a distinction ancient languages have not - Is ptp trying to revive such a existence, project? - and cure tendency to identify who owns everything - this seems to be related to [[My Expect for Projecation]]
