I read a lot of sources and stuff and tried to understand what an ergative language actually is, but all sources in the net seem to be very hard to understand, so actually I understand nothing. Does anyone know any website (English works, too, but German would be better) which has an easy introduction to what ergativ languages are?
Regards,
Ilhan
