The alignment splits in the Neo-Aramaic languages display a
considerable degree of diversity, especially in terms of agreement.
While earlier studies have generally oversimplified the actual
state of affairs, Paul M. Noorlander offers a meticulous and clear
account of nearly all microvariation documented so far, addressing
all relevant morphosyntactic phenomena. By means of fully glossed
and translated examples, the author shows that this vast variation
in morphological alignment, including ergativity, is unexpected
from a functional typological perspective. He argues the alignment
splits are rather the outcome of several construction-specific
processes such as internal system harmonization and
grammaticalization, as well as language contact.
