The papers exemplify theoretical depth applied to a wide range of languages, with the majority of papers based on original fieldwork. Ergativity refers to a grammatical pattern in which the logical subject of intransitive clauses and the logical object of transitive clauses share some grammatical features, and in this respect differ from transitive subjects. The shared features are often case and/or agreement, but a variety of other relevant features have also been isolated in the literature. The ergative pattern contrasts with that found in accusative languages where the subject has the same grammatical marking in intransitive and transitive clauses, while the object has different marking. Ergativity provides us with an ideal testing ground for claims about the range and limits of language variation, and about the degree of elasticity in the morphology-syntax interface. However, because an understanding of ergativity rests on an understanding of other difficult grammatical issues such as grammatical relations, transitivity, aspect, person, case, and agreement, a clear and integrated analys | 出版日期 | Book 2006 | 关键词 | Index; Morphological; Nominativ; Syntax; Verb; morphology; progressive; syntactic | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-4188-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4020-4187-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-4188-4Series ISSN 0924-4670 Series E-ISSN 2215-0358 | issn_series | 0924-4670 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2006 |
