&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The '''ergative''' is the case of the A-argument in [[transitive]] clauses if the sole argument in [[intransitive]] clauses is assigned the same case as the P-Argument in transitive clauses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Synonyms===&lt;br /&gt;
Before the use of ''ergative'' in the mid 20th century, other terms were used:&lt;br /&gt;
* German: ''Nominativ des Handelns'' (Baskisch, Humboldt 1817:316, quoted in Vollmann n.d.)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Nominativ agentis]] (Kâte, Pilhofer 1933:§122)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Narrative]] (in early literature about [[Caucasian languages]])&lt;br /&gt;
* [[relative case]] (in Eskimo linguistics)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Origin===&lt;br /&gt;
The term ''ergative'' first became widespread in the description of Caucasian languages, following Dirr (1928) (see Seely 1977). Dirr picked the term up from Trombetti (1903:173), and Trombetti in turn took it from Schmidt (1902). Schmidt seems to have taken it from Ray &amp;amp; Haddon (1893) (see Manaster-Ramer 1994 for discussion).&lt;br /&gt;
