[Yehuda N. Falk]

Does anyone out there have any information or references on "that-trace"
effects in languages that are plausibly analyzed as syntactically ergative?
What I want to know is whether, in such languages, "that-trace" effects
relate to S/A, as they do in nominative-accusative languages, or S/P, as
one might expect for a syntactically ergative language.

Thanks muchly.
