| 總結: | This paper describes the usage of the ergative case in Nyagrong-Minyag,

agent of the transitive verb, but has a limited use that can be classified into two
aspects: 1) ergativity is not allowed for first and second person arguments; 2) an
ergative marker may be optionally used on third person agents for pragmatic effects. |
