Yes!

To understand morphosyntactic alignment, it is first important to understand transitivity. Verbs typically come in two styles: intransitive and transitive. An intransitive verb can take only one argument, the subject, while a transitive verb can take two arguments, the subject and the direct object. Morphosyntactic alignment refers to how different languages group together the arguments of transitive and intransitive verbs. To be linguistically neutral, we must give separate names to all the arguments. The subject of an intransitive verb, we will call the "Subject (S)"; the subject of a transitive verb, we will call the "Agent (A)"; and the object of a transitive verb, we will call the "Object (O)". To give an example: in the sentences "John sleeps" and "Nathan cooks dinner", John would be (S), Nathan would be (A), and dinner would be (O).

The first and most common form of morphosyntactic alignment is Nominative-Accusative alignment. Languages that use this alignment include English, Spanish, Japanese, and Russian, among others. In Nominative-Accusative languages, the (S) and the (A) are treated the same way in the nominative case while (O) is treated separate in the accusative case. In the English sentences "She jumps" and "She loves her", you can see that (S) and (A) in both sentences take the same nominative form, while (O) takes the separate accusative form.

The second most common form of morphosyntactic alignment is Ergative-Absolutive alignment. Languages that use this alignment include Georgian, Kurdish, and Basque, among others. In Ergative-Absolutive languages, the (S) and the (O) are treated the same way in the Absolutive case while (A) is treated separate in the Ergative case. In Basque, the sentences "I have arrived", "The man has seen me" and "I have read the book" are "Ni (S) etorri naiz", "Gozonak ni (O) ikusi nau" and "Nik (A) liburua irakurri dut". As you can see, it is (S) and (O) that take the same form while (A) is separate. However, most languages that use Ergative-Absolutive alignment feature split-ergativity, which means that they are not always ergative. For instance, the Australian aboriginal language Nhanda, despite being Ergative-Absolutive, uses Nominative-Accusative alignment for their pronouns.

That's all for the first lesson. I'll be back for more either tomorrow or the day after. :biggrin:

Please start your lesson with an introductory phrase/paragraph quickly explaining why the topic of your lesson matters (in this case, why should I care about morphosyntactic alignment) (´人`)

shit. uhhhh :dizzy:

Morphosyntactic alignment is so deeply embedded into the logic of our languages that it, moreso than other things, can be quite jarring when you learn other languages do it differently.

you guys do drugs :worry:

i was able to experiment and contrast and learned i appreciate the body high from edibles. smoking gives a fun and involved experience but i can fuss in other ways physically if i feel the need to. after years of stress... i need to feel calm or very excited...
>>
YES

nope, but i've been idealizing it for too long, though i've heard that weed makes some people fat, so i might just do crack instead:xd:

On June 30th, at 5PM UTC (8pm moscow/istanbul time, something around 10am in America), I will be having a birthday party on https://townhall.heyuri.lol/

It wont last too long, so if you can stop by and say a few words, like "happy birthday", then that would be cool (´¬`)

If you would like to send me personal greeting, write a tripmail to "AMERICAu.c". (´人`)
or if its really private, you can leave me a message here: https://kuz.njournal.net/kontact/

My wife left me and this is my second birthday alone... (´人`)

( ̄ー ̄) But I'm not too bothered about that

Some real classic memes in here. ヽ(´∇`)ノ

"Kim was described by classmates as a shy child who was awkward with girls and indifferent to political issues, but who distinguished himself in sports and had a fascination with the American National Basketball Association and Michael Jordan, and a friend claimed that he had been shown pictures of Kim with Kobe Bryant and Toni Kukoč."
So it turns out Kim Jong Un is a nigger-loving SPORTS fan, not an otaku like us; just another douchebag whose primary interest is watching other men playing with their balls. What a fucking disappointment. Speaking of this unpleasant subject, how have you guys been following the world cup? I see all those niggers with their tattooed bodies and greasy disfigured faces and the crowd of mindless happy idiots and just wish for an iranian nuclear missile to make a crater out of new yourk city as soon as possible

I only watch korean and japanese matches

キタ━━━(゚∀゚)━━━!!

i only check the results of the matches to see if there will be :nigra: doing :nigra: things on my europoor streets. As for Respected Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un, he's the only person capable of isekaing us in a quick and painless death, if we survive nuclear radiation will grant us a proper western anime industry.
