Resumo
The purpose of this paper is to present the morphosyntactic alignments of the Akwe)-
Xerente (Jê), an indigenous language of the Central Brazil, which is spoken by 3,100 persons. From the
functional-typological point of view (Comrie 1976, 1981, 1985, 1989) and studies of the subject in
Brazilian indigenous languages (Alves 2004, Cabral et al. 2004, Grannier 2002), the cases related to the
grammatical subject and object, namely, the nominative, absolutive, ergative and partitive are described
and analyzed. The nominative-absolutive and ergative-absolutive cases are emphasized. In Xerente,
when the subjects of intransitive verbs are aligned twice, first as a subject of transitive verbs and,
secondly, as objects of transitive verbs, the language system operates with the nominative-absolutive.
The case ergative-absolutive is conditioned by the presence of post-verbal operators. In this case, the
intransitive subject (S) be treated as the direct object (O) and different from the transitive subject (A)
(Dixon 1979, 1994, Van Valin Jr. 2001). Thus, we aim to demonstrate how the split occurs between
nominative-absolutive and ergative-absolutive alignments in that language.
