Abstract
“Ergativity” 2 See, for example, the rather extensive account in Lyons (1968). View all notes is one of the syntactic characteristics of the Eskimo languages. It is reflected in the surface representation of sentences by a difference in case marking between transitive and intransitive sentences, the former being related in form to possessive constructions.Keywords
