Agreeing against the odds
This paper investigates split ergativity in Laki (Northwestern Iranian). Present-stem verbs follow the accusative alignment and past-stem verbs follow the ergative alignment. We argue that T and v are two loci of agreement in the ergative alignment. As a result of an Agree relation with v , the φ-features of the external argument are realized as a clitic. However, we argue that obtaining agreement with T depends on the argument type and its acces…
Gilaki reverse Ezafe
This paper examines a nominal linker (known as reverse Ezafe) in the Caspian language Gilaki. It is shown that the nominal linker in Gilaki is in fact the realization of two different morphosyntactic elements with distinct properties. In doing so, we also highlight the differences between reverse Ezafe and Ezafe, found in Persian and other Iranian languages. This study has implications for the typology of nominal linkers, leading to the conclusio…
Nominal linkers in Tati
This paper describes nominal constructions in the Takestani variety of Southern Tati (Northwestern Iranian). Noun phrases in Tati are head-final. The main focus in this chapter is on constructions involving a nominal linker known as Reverse Ezafe (Stilo 2004). This element appears in possessive and adpositional phrases as well as noun phrases modified by adjectives and nouns. We show that the Reverse Ezafe appearing with possessors and adposition…
Nominal linkers in Iranian languages
In some languages, a noun is linked to some of its modifiers and complements via a linking element. The cross-linguistic variation that is observed with respect to the properties and functions of nominal linkers has made their study an excellent area of research contributing to both the theory and the typology of linkers, and more broadly, to the study of nominals. Despite the importance of nominal linkers, however, a collection that solely focus…
Nominal linkers in Gilaki
This paper provides a description of noun phrases in the Eshkevarat variety of Gilaki (Northwestern Iranian). In Eshkevarat Gilaki, noun phrases and the majority of adpositional phrases are head final. Some nominal modifiers as well as the complement of postpositions are linked to the head of the phrase by a linking element––known as Reverse Ezafe (Stilo 2004). We show that the Reverse Ezafe appearing in possessive and adpositional contexts has d…
Nominal linkers in Sangesari
This paper describes nominal constructions in Sangesari (Northwestern Iranian). In Sangesari, similar to the pattern found in Caspian languages, some nominal modifiers as well as the complement of nominal postpositions are linked to the head of the phrase by a linking elementknown as Reverse Ezafe (Stilo 2004). In this paper, we show that the Reverse Ezafe used with attributive adjectives is different from the one used with possessors and adposit…
Nominal linkers in Taleshi
This chapter describes nominal constructions in the Central variety of Taleshi (Northwestern Iranian). In Taleshi, noun phrases and the majority of adpositional phrases are head-final. Some nominal modifiers as well as the complement of postpositions are linked to the head of the phrase by a linking element––known as Reverse Ezafe (Stilo 2004). In this chapter, we show that the Reverse Ezafe appearing with possessors and adpositions is different …
Definiteness in Laki
This article investigates definiteness and its interactions with demonstratives and number in Laki (Northwestern Iranian). By the examination of demonstratives and building upon previous proposals, I argue for two types of definite DPs in Laki, namely anaphoric and deictic. I show that the patterns of definite and number marking are sensitive to the type of the DP. In particular, I argue that double definiteness, resulting from an Agree relation …
