- Abstract
This study aimed to describe the correlation between voice, which are passive and antipassive, and ergative language in Nusantara. This research is a qualitative research with Agih Method (Descriptive Method) which is to explain facts and with permutation technique support. To obtain data and data sources, the researcher focuses only on the visible variations of the language, from the Nusantara Language on some other written articles or ergative sources, viz orthographic data not from informants. The result of this research is to generate passive diathesis parameter, that is: a) Passive and ergative equally involve at least the property S equal to P rather than A, b) Passive and ergative are different in terms of that ergative typologically involves greater integration of the Agent phrase into the syntax of clauses, c) Passive and ergative are different in terms of marker, and d) Passive sentence in the Nusantara has two types of sequential patterns. They all focus on the patient argument. While the antipassive diathesis construction parameters can be concluded that is, a) antipassives are intransitive, b) the agent can be downgrade to PP for antipassive, and c) indefinite agent is nonreferential in antipassive.
