Ergativity, Valency and Voice

About this book
This volume is a collection of articles concerned with the typology of valency and valence change in a large and diversified sample of languages that display ergative alignment in their grammar. The sample of languages represented in these descriptive contributions covers most of the geographical areas and linguistic families in which ergativity has been known to exist jointly with well-developed morphological voice, and some languages belonging to families in which ergativity or voice were not previously recognized or adequately described up to now.

Reviews
"In conclusion, the book reviewed is essential reading for everyone interested
in ergativity, voice alternations and valency-changing mechanisms. This book
targets a very large audience: it is of interest not only to researchers
working on ergativity, but also to undergraduates, who can learn what
ergativity is, how it can be related to other phenomena found in different
languages, and how one can work with understudied languages that require not
only the interpretation of raw linguistic material, but also an accurate
description of it."
