Abstract

This paper examines the primary results of the analysis of the Kartvelian data collected and processed by the author for the typological database BivalTyp. What most strikingly met the eye were the instances of entire homogeneity and entire heterogeneity of respective case-marking alignment of the core arguments in bivalent constructions, as well as those contexts that feature the potential to reanalyze non-target predicates, upon the lexical non-availability of the target ones, to express the meanings of the latter. The paper concludes with a number of explanations to the effects discussed.
