Semantic alignment refers to a type of language that has two means
of morphosyntactically encoding the arguments of intransitive
predicates, typically treating these as an agent or as a patient of
a transitive predicate, or else by a means of a treatment that
varies according to lexical aspect. This collection of new
typological and case studies is the first book-length investigation
of semantically aligned languages for three decades. Leading
international typologists explore the differences and commonalities
of languages with semantic alignment systems and compare the
structure of these languages to languages without them. They look
at how such systems arise or disappear and provide areal overviews
of Eurasia, the Americas, and the south-west Pacific, the areas
where semantically aligned languages are concentrated. This book
will interest typological and historical linguists at graduate
level and above.
