Is the Hebrew construct form an example of head-marking? — Tamfang ( talk) 07:58, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
As it currently stands, this article is very abstract. Any examples would be most welcome. By way of an example of a good example :), have a look at how the Ergative-absolutive language page lays out very non-English concepts using the English language.
I'd be happy to have a go at drafting such an example here, only I still have no clear idea what head-marking is. -- Cheers, - Erik Anderson 98.225.16.161 ( talk) 03:04, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
One of the English examples has him/I rather than him/he. 50.156.93.25 ( talk) 00:50, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
Although there is some interesting information provided in this article, there are some areas I believe could be adjusted to enhance its efficiency. The lead section does a poor job of introducing what a “head-marking” language is. As the reader of this article, I would have appreciated knowing why this is a significant topic. The lead section also fails to provide a roadmap of what the reader can expect to learn in the upcoming sections. Throughout the article there are multiple instances where no references are being provided which leads me to question the validity of your arguments. I believe the section included about the geographical distribution of this language is much too long in regards to its importance. I think adding more detail to the Head-marking (and dependent-marking) in English section would have been a more appropriate use of your time. I would suggest showing with syntactic structure how these languages differ from one another. I believe adding a section about head-to-head movement within the syntactic phrasal structure would be very effective in adding to your article. ( Tdpoulin ( talk) 19:15, 18 September 2014 (UTC))
