Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Actually, I did not need such a detailed explanation. The first one was absolutely sufficient.
But nevertheless thanks a lot for your effort. It was really quite informative, even if I did not understand everything you wrote there

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Hej!! As far as I understood, there isn't any category like subject or object in ergative languages, because of the case marking, which makes it difficult to say what's object and subject. But what would be called an indirect object? The direct object is the patient. The subject is the agent. Would ...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
My language is ergative-absolutiv. The main word order is VSO. But in ergative langs there isn't anything that could truly be considred as subject or object, caused by the way how the roles in sentences are marked, as far as I do understand. Well..., when describing my lang would it be right to desc...
