* Functional System
** Grammatical Relationship :noexport:
# Examplify some simple intransitive, transitive, and ditransitive
# clauses. Three-argument clauses may not unequivocally exist.
# - What are the grammatical erlations of this language? Give
# morphosyntactic evidence for each one that you propose.
# - Subject?
# - Ergative?
# - Absolutive?
# - Direct object?
# - Indirect object?
# There are basically four possible sources of evidence for
# grammatical relations:
# - morphological case on NPs
# - person marking on verbs
# - constituent order
# - some pragmatic hierarchy
# - Is the system of grammatical relations in basic (affirmative,
# declarative) clauses organized according to a
# nominative/accusative, ergative/absolutive, tripartite, or some
# other system?
# - Is there a split system for organizing grammatical relations? If
# so, what determines the split?
# - Is there split instransitivity? If so, what semantic or
# discourse/pragmatic factor conditions the split?
# - Does the system for pronouns and/or person marking on verbs
# operate on the same basis as that of full NPs?
# - Are there different grammatical-relation systems depending on
# the clause type (e.g. main vs. dependent clauses, affirmative
# vs. negative clauses)?
# - Are there different grammatical-relation assignment systems
# depending on the tense and/or aspect of the clause?
# - Are there any syntactic processes (e.g. conjunction reduction,
# relativization) that operate on an ergative/absolutive basis?
