CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES OF VERB GENDER IN EASTERN ARMENIAN COMPARISON WITH WESTERN ARMENIAN GENDER-DEFINING PARTICLES

Abstract

           Language is a living organism and is subject to various influences and changes over time.Verb voice, more than any other linguistic unit or grammatical order, has changed considerably over the years and centuries. And now we have many controversial issues related to verb voice.The goal of our work is to show these changes and to give a solid answer to the problematic questions. 

           Let's remember that the gender order of a verb indicates the relationship between the grammatical subject and the object, the logical subject and the object. In other words, gender expresses the verb's ability to take on a task and its relationship to that task and subject.

           By also presenting a brief study of gender-defining particles, we will provide a grammatical canonical picture of voice order in both Eastern and Western Armenian. There are conflicting opinions and very different perspectives. We will bring these together, summarize them, and understand how voice-defining particles help to distinguish the voice of a verb, and answer all the controversial questions related to voice. We will also briefly present a picture of the decades-long process of studying the voices of modern Armenian. We will also make comparisons with Western Armenian.
