Abstract

Linguists have been fascinated by the phenomenon of “ergativity”, but the kinds of questions and analyses in, e.g. a chomskyan, a relational grammar framework, and a functionalist framework, etc…, seem quite different from each other. This paper aims to compare and evaluate hoe “ ergativity” is analyzed in relational grammar and functional grammar.
