About this document
Ergatividad Dividida y Transitividad en Chol. by Alo Avalos is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses two types of splits in the ergative-absolutive person marking system of the Chol Mayan language: an aspectual split and a Split-S system. It argues that neither split actually marks a departure from the basic ergative Case-assignment pattern of the language. The splits are proposed to result from differences in syntactic structure rather than different rules of Case assignment, with the aspectual split occurring because the non-perfective aspect markers are verbs that embed nominalize
