Although there is only one ergative language in Europe (Basque), perhaps one-quarter of the world's languages show ergative properties. R. M. W. Dixon here provides a full survey of the various types of ergativity, looking at the ways they interrelate, their semantic bases and their role in the organisation of discourse.
