Introduction
Voice has long been one of the most popular issues among Malay/Indonesian linguists in the world.
This is because the voice system of Malay/Indonesian, like those of many other Austronesian
languages, is not a simple bipolar opposition between the active and the passive. Unlike other
Austronesian languages such as Tagalog and Malagasy, the fact is not so obvious in
Malay/Indonesian that it has been described as a simple active-passive opposition from time to
time.
As a result of the recent trend of emphasising sociolinguistic factors in Malay/Indonesian
linguistics, combined with strong descriptivism, considerable attention began to be paid to
colloquial and regional varieties of the language as well as written and standard varieties. Cole et al.
(2006) is one of the studies done in such a spirit. They studied Jakarta Indonesian, the colloquial
variety of Indonesian which is normally spoken by the population of Jakarta in the course of their
daily lives (Wouk 1989), and found a different voice system from that of Standard Indonesian.
Specifically, they concluded that a type of passive called Passive 2 (P2) in the literature on
Standard Indonesian does not exist in Jakarta Indonesian.
The present study is modelled after Cole et al. (2006) and discusses the voice system of
Colloquial Malay, which is the colloquial variety of the Malay language spoken in Malaysia1.
Although both simple clauses and relative clauses are examined in Cole et al. (2006), the present
study only deals with the latter. I will examine which voice is employed in the relative clauses
found in a corpus of Colloquial Malay and conclude that P2 (or bare passive in the term used in
section 2 and the sections thereafter) does not exist in Colloquial Malay either.

For a more detailed description of Colloquial Malay, see Nomoto (2006b, section 2.1). But one point must be noted here.
That is, the opposition of Colloquial Malay versus Written Malay is based on the degree of formality, with the former being
less formal than the latter. The names indicate the type of communication in which they are primarily used. Alternatively,
they can be called Informal/Low Malay and Formal/High Malay, respectively.
The remainder of this paper is organised as follows. Section 2 is a brief introduction to the
voice system of Malay/Indonesian. Section 3 explains the methodology of the study. The results are
shown and analysed in section 4. Section 5 is the conclusion.

Voskuil (2000) classifies Indonesian voice into four categories: morphological active,
morphological passive, bare active and bare passive. The situation is the same in Malay.

Morphological active

Let us look at the latter first. Chung (1976b) claims that the following two sentences, which are
a bare active (2a) and a bare passive sentence (2b) in the terminology of the present study, represent
the same one construction Object Preposing.

movement of the underlying postverbal direct object to the beginning of the clause. With regard to
the difference in word order between the two, Chung posits an optional cliticisation of the
underlying subject (i.e. the agent) to the verb. Thus, in (2b), kita we is analysed to be cliticised to
the verb perbaiki to repair.
In my understanding, bentuk persona/ninshoukei [personal form] is virtually the same as the
passive in prescriptive grammars such as Tatabahasa Dewan (Nik Safiah et al. 1993). The alleged
evidence for the category is that the distribution of bare passive and morphological passive is
complementary. Bare passive is used for first and second person agents and morphological passive
for third person agents. The proponents of bentuk persona (and prescriptive passive) often invoke
the synchronic resemblance between the prefix di- and the third person singular pronoun dia, which
in turn appears to verify their hypothesis that the two are diachronically the same one thing. The
issue of the historical origin of the prefix di- set aside, however, synchronically there are several
syntactic and semantic differences between morphological and bare passive. For example, only the
agent of bare passive, but not that of morphological passive, can serve as the controller (3) and a
binder of the reflexive sendiri self (4).

What is more, the alleged complementary distribution is actually no more than an ideal. Bare
passive is not restricted to first and second person agents. Morphological passive is mostly used for
third person agents, but it can also be used for first and second person agents as long as certain
semantic/pragmatic conditions are met. These facts have been repeatedly pointed out for as long as
some forty years (Abdul Hamid 1992: 10-12). Surprisingly, according to Shibata (1992), the
equivalent of di-tulis saya written by me dates back to as early as A.D. 686 in Kota Kapur
Inscription as ni-galar-ku (di-, ni-: passive marker; tulis, galar: to write; saya, -ku: me/my). The
present study will provide further evidence against the category bentuk persona and prescriptive
passive.
To sum up, there are four categories of voice in Malay. However, two points must be noted here.
Firstly, the classification is based on the data of Written Malay and it is not necessarily the case that
the same classification is true with Colloquial Malay. Recall the claim by Cole et al. (2006) that
Jakarta Indonesian, the colloquial variety of Indonesian, lacks bare passive, which is a very
productive pattern in Standard Written Indonesian. Secondly, in actual language use, it is often the
case that one pattern is more favoured than the other(s). In other words, the frequency of one
pattern may differ from those of the others to a significant extent. Now, the problems are: (i) which
of the four voices shown above are possible at all in Colloquial Malay? and (ii) what is the
frequency of each possible voice? This paper attempts to answer these questions by examining the
relative clauses found in a corpus of Colloquial Malay.

Methodology
3.1
Corpus
The corpus used in the present study is a corpus built by a research project at Tokyo University of
Foreign Studies (21st Century Centre of Excellence Programme: Usage-Based Linguistic
Informatics), which I participated in. The official name of this corpus is Multilingual Corpora
(Malay), though I have used a simpler name UKM Corpus in my past works (Nomoto 2006a, b).
The corpus was made in cooperation with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). It consists of
32 sessions of casual conversation between two university students each time. 20 students are
involved. The total recording time is approximately 30.5 hours. 22 of the 32 dialogues have been
transcribed. The total word count is 172,855 words, including a small number of recurrent tags.
Visit the following website for more information about the corpus:
http://www.coelang.tufs.ac.jp/multilingual_corpus/ms/ (accessed 15/09/2006).
The data in the following sections are all from this corpus unless otherwise indicated.
3.2
This section explains how the examination into the above-mentioned corpus was made.
I searched the corpus for the relative clauses with the complementiser yang plus gap in which
either the external or internal argument (i.e. underlying subject and object, respectively) of a
transitive verb is relativised. In what follows, I call the relativisation of the external and internal
argument subject relativisation and object relativisation, respectively, for ease of exposition.
There were about 2,500 instances of yang in total. However, more than 2,000 instances of them
did not satisfy the present purpose and hence are excluded from the object of examination. They
include embedded complement clauses introduced by yang (5), relative clauses whose main
predicate is not a transitive verb (6), relative clauses with no gap (7) and the expression yang
-nya, which I consider to be an idiom meaning what is or to ones (8).

So she invited me to visit her village (that day), but the problem was .
In addition, I excluded those relative clauses in which the non-relativised argument is null (9). In
the examples below, the null arguments are shown by pro.
In Colloquial Malay, NP predicates in relative clauses are very common in contrast to Written Malay, where they are so
restricted as to make some authors regard them ungrammatical.

Therefore, what must be investigated are: (i) which options are available in Colloquial Malay and
(ii) the frequency of each option. Note here that a fourth category is needed to classify all the
instances that occur in the corpus: indeterminate. Recall that bare active and bare passive are
distinguished based on the relative position between the agent and auxiliary/negation/adverb. This
means that if the latter element is absent in a clause, that clause will be indeterminate between bare
active and bare passive. Thus, buku yang dia baca the book which he read can be analysed as
either bare active (12a) or bare passive (12b).

The above are the points investigated by Cole et al. (2006) for Jakarta Indonesian. Moreover,
the present study also examines the person of the agent in object relativisation. Third person is
further divided into pronoun (Pro), non-pronoun (Non-Pro) and zero (). The agent of a
morphological passive sentence may not be expressed explicitly. By examining the person of the
agent, I will show that the complementary distribution mentioned in the second last paragraph of
section 2 is a fallacy (in Colloquial Malay as well).

It is obvious that both morphological and bare active are available in Colloquial Malay. In terms of
frequency, the approximate ratio of morphological and bare active is 1:2. Some authors describe
this feature of Colloquial Malay as the omission of the prefix meN- (e.g. Onozawa 1996: 226).
However, such a description relies on a false and, I think, unhealthy widespread assumption that the
colloquial variety is merely a simplified version of the written variety. If one is to study Colloquial
Malay in its own right6, it is more adequate to say that bare active is the unmarked voice in
6
Nomoto (2006b) stresses the importance of the study of Colloquial Malay in its own right by demonstrating how poorly a
run-of-the-mill preposition kat in Colloquial Malay has been described and how it is worth a serious look. In Nomoto &
Tsuji (2006), we maintain that Written Malay and Colloquial Malay are two distinct varieties in diglossia. If this
characterisation of ours is correct, it can be another reason why Colloquial Malay must be studied (, taught and learned)
along with Written Malay.
Colloquial Malay and the prefix meN- can be added to bring about some additional effects such as
formality.
Below are some examples from the corpus, of morphological actives (13) and bare actives (14)
in subject relativisation.

Object relativisation
The result for object relativisation is shown in Table 3. The number of bare active will increase
significantly if one adopts a more restrictive definition of bare passive. See footnote 7 (p. 106) for
the details. Concrete examples of each category are provided at the end of this section.

All the three possible voices were observed. Then, it seems reasonable to conclude that they all
exist in Colloquial Malay. However, a sociolinguistic factor needs to be considered at this point,
namely code-mixing.
It is the consideration of code-mixing that led Cole et al. (2006) to conclude that bare passive
(P2) does not exist in Jakarta Indonesian. Consider the results of a similar examination into four
corpora of Jakarta Indonesian obtained by them. CHILD consists of utterances by children, A-C of
utterances by adults talking to children, and A-A1 and A-A2 of utterances by adults talking to
adults.

Note that in A-A1 and A-A2 the number of bare passives (shown in boldface) is robust enough to
confirm their existence in Jakarta Indonesian. They argue that such instances are mixed Standard
Indonesian expressions. The background sociolinguistic fact is that code-mixing with Standard
Indonesian is a characteristic of the mesolectal level of speech while it seldom occurs at the
basilectal level. A-A1 and A-A2 represent the former and CHILD and A-C represent the latter. If
one looks at CHILD and A-C, which represent the basilect, there are only two instances of bare
passive in both corpora. Therefore, they conclude in an earlier version (Cole et al. 2005) that P2 [=
bare passiveHN] does not occur in JI [= Jakarta IndonesianHN] proper, using basilectal JI as
the gold standard for JI. The construction does occur in mesolectal registers where the use of
forms and constructions from the acrolectal language [= Standard IndonesianHN] would be
expected.
Turning back to Colloquial Malay, are the eleven instances of bare passive mixed Written
Malay? The possibility of the answer being yes is quite high. In my impression, most of the
conversation in the corpus is at some level quite close to the basilect where code-mixing with
Written Malay occurs only occasionally. Since I do not have a corpus of childrens speech at hand,
nor do I know whether any attempts to build such a corpus have been made so far, I cannot prove
the correctness of that impression in the same way as done by Cole et al. (2006). Further research is
necessary.
Instead, I examined who produced how many bare actives and passives. The result is shown in
Table 5. Of the 20 speakers, only five produced bare passives. On the other hand, bare actives are
produced by as many as 16 speakers. If bare passive had the same status as bare active in the voice
system of Colloquial Malay, it must have been produced more frequently and by more speakers.
Furthermore, all of the five speakers who produce bare passives also produce bare actives, but no
one produces only bare passives. These facts endorse the idea that the eleven instances of bare
passive are actually mixed Written Malay. In conclusion, bare passive cannot be included in the
voice system of Colloquial Malay. As a consequence, the instances assigned to the category
Indeterminate turn out to be those of Bare active except for some mixed Written Malay
expressions.

Next, let us focus on the person of the agent. Table 6 (p. 106) summarises the result.
The following two points are revealed from this table. Firstly, contrary to the claim of
prescriptive grammarians and strong proponents of bentuk persona, there is no complementary
distribution observed between morphological passive and bare passive (see the second last
paragraph of section 2). Bare passive can be used for a third person agent, regardless of whether it
is a pronoun or not. The complementary distribution does not hold between morphological passive
and bare active either.

Secondly, when the agent is overt, bare active is the normal voice in object relativisation. This
is the case with all persons. It appears that bare active is the only choice for first and second person
agents. However, it may not be true. The fact that the corpus includes no instance of morphological
passive with first and second person agents has to do with the functional difference between
morphological passive and bare active. The agent of a morphological passive is syntactically
demoted to adjunct whereas that of a bare active is an argument. In connection with this, the agent
of a bare active is neutral informationally. However, the agent of a morphological passive is not so.
They are backgrounded when not expressed overtly and foregrounded when expressed overtly. First
and second person agents, being the immediate participants of conversations, usually need not and
should not be foregrounded. Explicit mention (i.e. foregrounding) of unnecessary or inappropriate
first and second person agents will lead to lack of politeness. The relevance of politeness to the
absence of first and second person agents in morphological passives is also pointed out by Shibata
(1992) and Cole et al. (2006).
In passing, the agents of bare actives are sometimes silent in Colloquial Malay. I analyse them
as null pronouns (pro). They are silent but existent unlike the agents of morphological actives,
which are not existent in the syntactic (constituent) structure at all.
The voice choice in object relativisation in Colloquial Malay can be summarised as follows:
(15)
Recall here that bare active is the unmarked voice in subject relativisation too.
Finally, examples of object relativisation with each category are given below. (16)-(18) are
examples of Morphological passives.

Cole et al. (2006) would code these 28 instances as bare actives since they assume that the agent of bare passive is limited
to pronouns (and nouns used as pronoun substitutes). I do not accept such an assumption in this paper, respecting two
apparent bare passives with third person non-pronoun agents (see examples (27)). But if I did so, things would rather turn
for the better. This is because the number of bare actives in object relativisation would increase by 28 to 51, with 38
morphological actives and 11 bare passives (see Table 3), which is more favourable to my hypothesis that bare active is the
unmarked voice and bare passive does not exist in Colloquial Malay.

Conclusion
In this paper, I examined the voice employed in relative clauses in Colloquial Malay. I claimed that
the voice system of Colloquial Malay lacks bare passive. A few instances of bare passive observed
in the corpus can be regarded as a result of code-mixing with Written Malay. Thus, the voice
system of Colloquial Malay proper consists of three types, namely morphological active,
morphological passive and bare active.
Among these three types, bare active is the unmarked voice. Since the verb in bare active does
not have the prefix meN-, which blocks any NP movement across itself, both subject and object can
be relativised in bare active. There is no restriction on the person of the agent as always pointed out
for object relativisation in Written Malay. The figures of each category in the columns of Bare
active and Indeterminate in Table 6 verify this.
The remaining two voices with explicit voice morphology, i.e. morphological active and
morphological passive, are literally marked. The prefix meN- of morphological active adds some
additional (perhaps stylistic) effects. Moreover, objects cannot be relativised in morphological
active sentences owing to the blocking effect by the prefix meN- mentioned above. As for
morphological passive, the agent is either foregrounded (when present) or backgrounded (when
absent) as was stated in (15). This brings about an apparent restriction on the agent to only third
person.
The present study only dealt with the voice in Colloquial Malay and counted on secondary
sources for that in Written Malay. In another study, Isamu Shoho and I take up Written Malay as
well as Colloquial Malay and compare their voice systems (Nomoto & Shoho 2006). The results of
the present study only already imply a few noticeable differences between the two. However, when
the data from the primary sources are investigated using the same methodology, the differences will
be corroborated and manifest themselves more vividly.
