<P>In <I>Voice and v, </I>Julie Anne Legate investigates the syntacticstructure of voice, using Acehnese as the empirical starting point. A central claim is that voice isencoded in a functional projection, VoiceP, which is distinct from, and higher than, vP. Legatefurther claims that VoiceP may be associated with phi-features that semantically restrict theexternal argument position but do not saturate it. Through minor variations in the properties ofVoiceP, Legate explains a wide range of non-canonical voice constructions, including: agent-agreeingpassives, grammatical object passives, impersonals, object voice constructions, and applicativevoice in causatives. Her analysis draws on data from a typologically diverse set of languages, notonly Malayo-Polynesian, but also Celtic, Scandinavian, and Slavic. </P><P><I>Voice and v</I> provides a detailed investigation into the syntactic structure of anunderstudied Malayo-Polynesian language, and thereby reveals important insights for the theoreticalanalysis of voice and the verb phrase. Moreover, the work applies and broadens these insights to arange of related passive-like constructions crosslinguistically. <I>Voice and v</I> thusjoins a handful of model volumes that enlist typological depth and breadth to further ourdevelopment of modern linguistic theory. </P>
