Talk:Nominative–absolutive alignment

Examples needed

@Degoiabeira: Thanks for creating this page! This is a rather obscure topic even for typologists, unless one is familiar with South American indigenous languages. I suggest to add some examples to make it clear what "nominative–absolutive" actually is about.

There is further some source for confusion, because some Afroasiaticists have used "nominative–absolutive" to mean "marked nominative". Nominative-absolutive language still redirects to Marked nominative alignment. Maybe we can change the target of all redirects with "nominative–absolutive" to this page, and add an {{About-distinguish}} hatnote pointing to Marked nominative alignment. –Austronesier (talk) 11:28, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for tagging me. It is certainly my intention to add examples from each language family I mentioned (might take me several days, though). Thanks for alerting me about the Afroasiaticist practice (I had actually seen the redirect but didn't go into details); will add hatnotes on both pages now.

@Austronesier: Done; do you think it's be legit to unmark it as a stub now?

@Degoiabeira: Definitely yes! :) –Austronesier (talk) 19:02, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
