Talk:Direct-inverse language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Similarly to the function of an animacy hierarchy in a direct/inverse system the way that Proto Indo-European neuters were not originally regarded as possible verbal agents." -- First, this is a sentence fragment. Second, how is this relevant to direct vs. inverse? This statement doesn't say anything about there being an inverse construction in Proto-Indo-European, and as far as I know, no one has claimed it had one. 24.159.255.29 00:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hierarchical alignment

I've seen this term more. It should be at least be mentioned in the article, and may be a better choice for the article name. --JWB (talk) 18:31, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
