依赖性是语言中形式和功能之间的不匹配，最早是在拉丁语中描述的，其中有一组动词（依赖词）在形态上是被动的，但在句法上是主动的。这是一个更大的问题的证据，涉及句法和形态学之间的接口：屈折形态学应该指定句法功能，但有时它发出了错误的信号。虽然这个问题和西方语言学传统一样古老，但至今还没有一个被普遍接受的解释，可以肯定地说，所有当前的语言理论都是在假设依赖性不存在的情况下构建的。然而，近年来，语言学家们开始面对它的理论含义，尽管在很大程度上是相互孤立的。到目前为止，对这个问题还没有明确的说明，对其性质和范围也没有任何普遍接受的定义。这卷汇集了在形态不匹配领域工作的主要学者的发现，并代表了第一本书长度的类型学和理论治疗的主题。它将确立证据研究在当代语言学中的重要地位，并为今后的工作树立标准。
Deponency is a mismatch between form and function in language that was first described for Latin, where there is a group of verbs (the deponents) which are morphologically passive but syntactically active. This is evidence of a larger problem involving the interface between syntax and morphology: inflectional morphology is supposed to specify syntactic function, but sometimes it sends out the wrong signal. Although the problem is as old as the Western linguistic tradition, no generally accepted account of it has yet been given, and it is safe to say that all current theories of language have been constructed as if deponency did not exist. In recent years, however, linguists have begun to confront its theoretical implications, albeit largely in isolation from each other. There is as yet no definitive statement of the problem, nor any generally accepted definition of its nature and scope. This volume brings together the findings of leading scholars working in the area of morphological mismatches, and represents the first book-length typological and theoretical treatment of the topic. It will establish the important role that research on deponency has to play in contemporary linguistics, and set the standard for future work.
