    <p>A "scenario split" is the same as a "coargument-conditioned
      split" – in fact, my 2021 terminology was largely inspired by
      Witzlack-Makarevich et al. (2016). They say:</p>
    <p><font size="2"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">"The phenomenon comes in two flavors: (i) in some systems, ... arguments of a clause compete for a particular agreement slot or for a particular case marker. It is normally assumed that in order to provide an account for such a system, it is necessary to posit a referential hierarchy (or scale) of a certain form (language-specific or universal). Then, one can say that only the argument that ranks higher on the hierarchy than other arguments of the same clause gets access to a particular agreement slot or case marker. Such cases underlie the traditional label “hierarchical agreement” or recently “hierarchical indexation” (Rose 2009), as well as what we will refer to as “hierarchical case marking”. (ii) In the other systems..., <b>argument marking also depends on the whole constellation of the arguments in a clause, or what one might call its “scenario”.</b> However, in contrast to the first type, in such systems it is impossible to account for the distribution of markers in terms of a unified referential hierarchy because the relevant conditions determining their distribution involve several variables at once (e. g., ‘assign accusative to the P argument if the A argument is second person singular and nowhere else’)." (Witzlack-Makarevich et al. 2016: 534)</span></font></p>
    <p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">So what both of the types they discuss share is that the argument marking is scenario-conditioned in some way.</span></p>
    <p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Whether one regards these as "</span><span
        style="font-size:11.0pt">broadly voice-related phenomena"
        depends on one's definition of "voice", and the extent to which
        one may be willing to extend it to "broadly related" phenomena.
        (For a definition of "voice constructions" that relates them to
        the more basic notion of "valency constructions", see my 2022

                I referred to the kinds of phenomena that Jürgen talks
