Language: (kyo) Klon.

System Type: None

Source: Baird (2008).

Comment: "Klon has an agentive system, whereby Actor S arguments pattern the same way as A arguments, and Undergoer S arguments pattern the same way as O arguments. There is a small set of verbs that may take either SA or SO arguments dependent on the perceived semantic role of a referent in a particular context" (Baird 2008: 66). Actor arguments are expressed through free pronouns, Undergoer arguments are expressed through bound pronouns. The choice between the four bound pronominal sets was historically semantic, but has been lexicalised. For this reason all four paradigms are included here.
