In Slavic, there have been only few approaches up to now that tried to show which tests and diagnostic criteria can confirm or reject the universal character of these phenomena. The following article tries to resolve the problem by assuming a new syntactic and semantic analysis on ergativity in Slavic including new theories within the Minimalist framework (Chomsky 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001ab).
