This research examines the ergativity in
Neo-Aramaic languages. It is based on the materials of the previous
works and field studies. The results show that the system of
Neo-Aramaic preterit constructions, that is usually being called
«ergative», in sober fact is not ergative. In reality in
Neo-Aramaic languages two different systems of the marking of
verbal arguments can be found: a nominative alignment with the
reversed meaning of agreement suffixes and an active alignment,
while the real ergativity never appears.
