Hierarchical argument marking systems have long been treated as exceptions in alignment typology since they do not follow the same logic as, for example, nominative-accusative systems in creating subsets of argument roles that are treated identically. A recent proposal by Witzlack-Makarevich and colleagues advocates for “exhaustive alignment” as a way around this problem. This paper applies this methodology to the present-day Guaykuruan languages (Kadiweu, Mocovi, Pilaga, Toba) with three goals: firstly, it expands on the methodology, providing a proposal on how to apply the method to languages with split-intransitive characteristics. Secondly, the paper shows how alignment subsystems in languages with hierarchical alignment can provide additional evidence for the phylogenetic relations between languages. Ultimately, the paper demonstrates how a construction-specific approach to alignment can uncover a greater degree of variety in alignment patterns, revealing that a number of Pilaga and Toba morphemes sh...

Guaykuruan 语言的层次对齐和比较语言学：一种详尽的对齐方法

分层论证标记系统长期以来一直被视为对齐类型学中的例外，因为它们不遵循与例如主宾系统相同的逻辑来创建被同等对待的论证角色的子集。Witzlack-Makarevich 及其同事最近提出的一项提议主张采用“详尽对齐”作为解决此问题的方法。本文将这种方法论应用于当今的瓜伊库鲁语（Kadiweu、Mocovi、Pilaga、Toba）有三个目标：首先，它扩展了方法论，提出了如何将该方法应用于具有分裂不及物特性的语言的建议。其次，本文展示了具有层次对齐的语言中的对齐子系统如何为语言之间的系统发育关系提供额外的证据。最终，
