===Grammatical relations===
Another description of a language considers the set of possible grammatical relations in a language or in general and how they behave in relation to one another in the [[morphosyntactic alignment]] of the language. The description of grammatical relations can also reflect transitivity, [[passivization]], and head-dependent-marking or other agreement. Languages have different criteria for grammatical relations. For example, subjecthood criteria may have implications for how the subject is referred to from a relative clause or coreferential with an element in an infinite clause.<ref>{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Syntactic Typology |encyclopedia=Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford |last=Shibatani |first=Masayoshi |date=2021 |language=en |doi=10.1093/acrefore/9780199384655.013.154 |isbn=978-0-19-938465-5 |doi-access=}}</ref>
