Abstract

Japhug is a language with ergative alignment on NP arguments and direct-inverse verbal indexation. However, this paper, through a detailed description of relativizing constructions in Japhug, shows the existence of accusative pivots and proposes an unambiguous definition of ‘subjects’ and ‘objects’ in this language.
