Abstract

Recent work on ergative phenomena has been summarized in Dixon (1994), where in addition to listing and categorizing many aspects of ergativity across languages, he also makes several generalizations about ergative phenomena. Research on languages of Indonesia has turned up data in different languages that extends, refutes, or corroborates Dixon's claims concerning case marking, ergativity splits, split-intransitivity, the primacy of morphological ergativity, and switch-reference systems. Data from four languages are presented supporting the claims made by the authors.
