a language has some ergative alignment pattern, it is usually found in only a
subset of grammatical contexts, creating what has been called split ergativity.
In one common pattern, tense-aspect-based split ergativity, ergative alignment
occurs only in past tense or perfective aspect clauses, while some other
alignment occurs elsewhere (Dixon 1994). Theoreticians have tried to explain
these splits as a grammatical expression of abstract notions like viewpoint,
transitivity, inherent agentivity, and ontological salience. In recent
research, we have discovered that multiple languages from the Cariban and Jê
families (spoken in northern and central South America) present the opposite
pattern, in which ergative alignment occurs only in nonpast and imperfective
clauses.<span class> </span>Trivially, such facts
contradict the putative universal about split ergativity; less trivially, they
call into question the proposed explanations for that universal. This talk
proposes to explain both the universal and counter-universal patterns with
reference to the concrete details of historical processes that create individual
clause types with their distinct alignments (cf. Gildea 2012). </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1426774673770_5031" class style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1426774673770_5030" class style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';">The
metaphor of “split” ergativity (or any other form of “split” alignment)
encourages us to misconceptualize the phenomenon as a kind of “surface”
division of some “deeper”, somehow fundamentally unified phenomenon. However,
the evolution of such alignments suggests a completely different metaphor, that
of a patchwork quilt: different constructions (with their different alignment)
are like new patches added to the existing quilt of main clause grammar. This
metaphor derives from the evolution of “splits”, but it also helps to frame the
synchronic analysis of such alignments in a more useful way. This sort of
explanation illustrates the potential of diachronic typology, both to help us
understand the prevalence of typological universals (without lamenting the
discovery of counter-examples) and to bring a new perspective to explanations
of these universals (and their counter-examples). </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1426774673770_5032" class style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span class style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';"> </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1426774673770_5214" class style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1426774673770_5213" class style="font-size:9pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';">Dixon, R
