Resumen:
The purpose of this chapter is to present the analysis of a semantically aligned system that shares some characteristics with both agentive/patientive case marking and active vs. middle voice systems. However, as it happens with other agentive systems, for many verbs the assignment of a prefix to a verb stem seems to be lexicalized. This phenomenon was discussed by Mithun (1991) for North American languages and Guaraní. Moreover, Pilagá exhibits a number of oddities which discussed here with a view to a typological comparison with other systems described in the literature.
