Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, printed single-sided, grade: 1,0, University of Freiburg (English Department), course: The Syntax and Semantics of the English Verb Phrase, 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The term ergativity is used to describe a grammatical pattern in which there is a formal parallel between the object of a transitive clause and the subject of an intransitive clause. The subject of the transitive clause, however, is treated differently. Dixon, in his standard survey of ergativity, uses the following symbols for these three elements: S = intransitive subject, A = transitive subject, and O = transitive object (1994:6). Initially, the term ergativity was only associated with case marking on constituents of a noun phrase. Manning summarises this as folllows: The more patient-like argument of a transitive verb appears in the same absolutive case as the single argument of an intransitive verb, while the more agent-like argument of a transitive verb is marked differently, in what is known as the ergative case (1996 : 3). Thus, ergativity is the counterpiece to accusativity, where one case is employed for the intransitive (S) and the transitive subject (A) (nominative) and another case marks the transitive object (O) (accusative).§The term ergativity derives from the Greek words ergon work, deed and ergátes doer (of an action) (Bussmann 1996 : 151) and thus relates to the active the more agent-like member of the pair involved in a transitive structure. Dixon states that the first use of this term was in 1912 in a study on the Dagestanian language Rutul (1994 : 3).
