Antipassive and ergativity in Tagalog
Highlights
► This paper argues that Tagalog is an ergative language. ► Tagalog patterns empirically with other ergative languages in having an antipassive construction. ► I propose that transitive v has a structural case feature to value with the absolutive object. ► Antipassive v does not structurally case license an object.
