The Oxford Handbook of Ergativity

ISBN: 9780198739371 出版年：2017 页码：1,297 Oxford University Press

This volume examines the phenomenon of ergativity, a grammatical patterning whereby direct objects are in some way treated like intransitive subjects, to the exclusion of transitive subjects. It includes theoretical approaches from generative, typological, and functional paradigms, as well as 16 language-specific case studies.
