"Language Typology and the Comparison of Languages"
Abstract
While comparison of languages presupposes a common framework neutral
to the structures of the languages compared and contrasted, the
contemporary grammatical terms and concepts have been developed
primarily on the basis of Accusative-type European languages. This
has created a great deal of confusion in the universals research.
Typological studies in recent years have in part been concerned with
the correction of this unfortunate situation. This presentation looks
at the syntactic organizations of three distinct types of languages
(the Accusative type, the Ergative type, and the Philippine-type) and
examines the nature of grammatical relations, Subject in particular,
the voice patterns, and the ways in which semantic interpretation
interacts with the typological differences in the organization of the
argument structure.
