Split Intransitivity in Tukang Besi
Oceanic Linguistics, 1996The Tukang Besi language has consistent nominative-accusative morphology on its verbs, yet syntactic processes show that we need to recognize a split in the intransitive verbs. The split is roughly along the lines of agentive/controlled versus nonagentive/noncontrolled, a division that has been used to characterize unergative and unaccusative verbs in ...

Semantic Parameters of Split Intransitivity
Language, 1990Split intransitivity has been an important issue in syntactic theory since the postulation of the Unaccusative Hypothesis in Relational Grammar in Perlmutter 1978; it was adapted into Government-Binding theory in Burzio 1981. In both theories, a purely syntactic approach to split intransitivity is taken.

Morphological Causatives and Split Intransitivity in Mapudungun
International Journal of American Linguistics, 2007This article examines morphological causatives of intransitive verbs in Mapudungun (also Mapuche, Araucanian; Chile, Argentina). The patterning of intransitives in causativization reveals a split system, where the choice of causative suffix is governed by factors of animacy and control.

Split intransitivity in Japanese revisited
, 2008 This paper revisits the question raised by Kishimoto (1996): what determines the unergative-unaccusative split in the behavior of the V1 in a Japanese deverbal nominal construction (V1-V2-gen N) (e.g., toke-kake-no yuki “the snow, almost melted”). While previous accounts (e.g., Tsujimura & Iida 1999) relied on purely semantic treatments, this paper
