[Lingtyp] Alternating argument marking conditioned by word order?

[Zygmunt Frajzyngier]

Dear Ilja,
The following may be relevant to your query:

Frajzyngier, Zygmunt. 2011. Les fonctions de l'ordre linéaire des constituants. In Bulletin de la Société de Linguistique de Paris, 107:1, 7-37.

And an expanded English version in one of the chapters of :

Frajzyngier, Zygmunt with Erin Shay. 2016. The role of functions in syntax: a unified approach to language theory, description, and typology. Benjamins: Amsterdam.

All best,
Zygmunt

Dear Ilja, dear All.

more generally, Christa König has written about "no case before the verb" constraint operating in many African languages, see her book "Case in Africa" (OUP, 2008).

Best wishes,

Peter

Dear Ilja,

the optionality of ergative marking has been linked (directly) to word
order differences in Tima (Niger-Congo), see Casaretto, Antje,
Dimmendaal, Gerrit J., Hellwig, Birgit, Reinöhl, Uta, Schneider-Blum,
Gertrud. 2020. Roots of Ergativity in Africa (and Beyond), Studies in
African Linguistics 49, 111-140.

You'll find the relevant examples on and around p. 122.

There may be other more detailed descriptions in other publications by
Gertrud Schneider-Blum and possibly Gerrit Dimmendaal.

Best

Uta

 Dear colleagues,

 I am looking for (and collecting) any kind of argument marking
 alternations (differential marking systems) that are constrained by
 word order (not necessarily exclusively). I would appreciate any hints
 to languages that exhibit this kind of differential marking and to the
 respective research publications.

 Best,

 Ilja Seržant
