What is "alignment"?
Alignment refers to the systematic association or correspondence between linguistic units, such as sounds, words, or grammatical structures, either within a single language or across different languages. This concept is essential for understanding how elements like subjects, objects, and verbs relate to each other in a sentence, as well as how these relationships are represented in various languages. Studying alignment helps linguists analyze syntactic structures and the ways languages express grammatical relationships, providing insights into language organization and function.
