520 8  This book traces the changes in argument alignment that 
       have taken place in Aramaic during its 3000-year 
       documented history. Eleanor Coghill examines evidence from
       ancient Aramaic texts, recent dialectal documentation, and
       cross-linguistic parallels to provide an account of the 
       pathways through which this alignment change took place. 
       She argues that what became the ergative construction was 
       originally limited mostly to verbs with an experiencer 
       role, such as 'see' and 'hear', which could encode the 
       experiencer with a dative. While this dative-experiencer 
       scenario shows some formal similarities with other 
       proposed explanations for alignment change, the data 
       analysed in this book show that it is clearly distinct. 
       The book draws important theoretical conclusions on the 
       development of tense-conditioned alignment cross-
       linguistically, and provides a valuable basis for further 
       research.
