OF THESIS LAKI VERBAL MORPHOSYNTAX Most western Iranian languages, despite their broad differences, show a common quality when it comes to the verbal agreement of past transitive verbs. Dabir-moghaddam (2013) and Haig (2008) discuss it as a grammaticalized split-agreement to encode S, A, and P, which is sensitive to tense and transitivity, and uses split-ergative constructions for its past transitive verbs. Laki shows vestiges of the same kind of verb-agreement ergativity (Comrie 1978) by using… Expand

The Evolution of Ergativity in Iranian Languages
This paper presents an attempt to investigate the origins of ergativity in Iranian languages, drawing upon diachronic and synchronic analyses. In so doing, I will trace the development of the… Expand
Western Iranian Pronominal Clitics
This article attempts to account for the derivation of pronominal clitics in contemporary Western Iranian languages. It argues against the common assumption (detailed in Section I) that all clitics… Expand
On the interaction of morphological and syntactic ergativity: Lessons from Kurdish☆
It is well known that languages are not necessarily consistent in their alignment, i.e. whether they are ergative or accusative. For example, the morphology may be ergative while the syntax is… Expand
Persian object clitics and the syntax-morphology interface
TLDR
It is argued that pronominal clitics behave more like suffixes than independent syntactic elements; in cases where they take syntactic scope over an NP or a PP, they must be phrasal affixes. Expand
The Rise of Agreement; the Case of Persian Enclitics
Traditionally, it was supposed that Persian pronominal enclitics act as pronouns or real arguments, while this paper tries to indicate that they act as agreement markers in some contexts, too. As… Expand
Alignment Change in Iranian Languages: A Construction Grammar Approach
TLDR
Ergativity in Iranian is shown to be most prominently linked to the notion of Non-Canonical Subject, which has repercussions for theories of alignment and grammatical relations, morphosyntactic change, and for comparative syntax of Indo-European. Expand
Introducing Sign-Based Construction Grammar vii
TLDR
This work focuses on a particular view of human languages as instantiations of a single grammar that is fixed in its general shape, and on descriptive observations of individual languages, with particular concern for idiosyncrasies and complexities. Expand
French Clitic Movement Without Clitics or Movement
TLDR
A lexicalist treatment of the French clitic system that treats all 'clitics' as lexical pronominal affixes, whose ordering is templatic in nature. Expand

1 Background Modern grammatical research,1 at least in the realms of morphosyntax, includes a number of largely nonoverlapping communities that have surprisingly little to do with one another. One –… Expand
