Abstract
This paper has the goal of investigating the nature of membership within the category passive and cross-linguistic comparison of constructions, passive and otherwise. Topicality measures were collected from the Uppsala Corpus of Russian for passive and active uses of the Russian verbs pisat/napisat to write, davat/dat to give, and zabyvat/zabyt to forget. Crofts (2001) notion of plotting constructions in conceptual space is exploited as a means of cross-linguistic comparison using these topicality measures. Examining the conceptual space of various voice constructions with these Rusian verbs, Crofts generalizations are upheld, their position being consistent whether Referential Distance or Topic Persistence is used as a measure. Finally, data from other typological discourse studies is plotted, noting where various voice constructions pattern, and how this data fits into Crofts model.
