Abstract

An instance of loss and re-emergence of a grammatical category, whereby the old function is preserved is the continuation of the Indo-European synthetic medio-passive in Germanic. First in this paper, the form and semantics of the inherited medio-passive is described, secondly, we will discuss potential competitors with the synthetic medio-passive and explain why new forms emerged and finally, we will compare the expressions for the medio-passive meaning in Pre-proto-Germanic, Gothic and West Germanic.
