Amanda Delgado (Universiteit Leiden) : "Aspect, auxiliaries, and polarity in Yokot'an split alignment" Mayan languages have as a major typological characteristic an ergative alignment system. Yokot'an exhibit three patterns for coding grammatical relations: (i) ergative pattern, (ii) split ergative alignment-motivated by aspect and (iii) agentive pattern-motivated by semantic roles (Agent-Patient). Quizar and Knowles (1990:306), Gutierrez and Zavala (2005:1) and Osorio (2005:27) argued that polarity motivates the split pattern. I will point out that aspect, the presence of auxiliaries and polarity are factors involved in split alignment in Yokot'an.
