Abstract:
This volume presents a state-of-the-art survey of synchronic and diachronic
dimensions of Ergativity in the Indo-Aryan language family. It contains an
introduction drawing on the most important recent typological and theoretical
contributions to this field, plus seven papers about the origin, development
and distribution of ergative alignment in ancient and modern Indo-Aryan
languages written by well-established expert authors. The articles provide
detailed explorations of language-specific synchronic systems or patterns of
change, and large-scale studies of the distribution of ergative morphosyntax
across the Indo-Aryan languages. The papers have a typological-functional
approach and are based on thorough fieldwork experience and/or philological
investigation. As the Indo-Aryan language family has played a paramount role
in recent theories of Ergativity and of alignment typology and change, this
volume is highly relevant to experts working on these languages and to
scholars interested in grammatical relations and it will figure in all future
debates in these fields

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
