This paper investigates case and agreement patterns in Iranian languages, mainly focusing on Zazaki and Kurdish varieties. Empirically, the paper discusses the typologically rare double-oblique pattern, along with a novel way of splitting the oblique. On the basis of the syntactic behavior of oblique-bearing arguments, the paper argues that the term ‘oblique’ corresponds to distinct cases, ranging from structural accusative case to nonstructural dative case and ergative case. Oblique number agreement is case-sensitive, targeting only ergative-oblique out of the oblique cases. In order to capture the facts, I adopt a Multiple Agree account (Hiraiwa 2005), in which partial number agreement is a process that takes place in the morphology via Impoverishment, and not in the syntax proper. The study proposes to capture the case patterns in Iranian languages along the lines of Svenonius (2006), in which arguments bearing nonstructural case get their licensing from a combination of two heads (cf. Chomsky 1993), one of which is Stem, the locus of split-ergativity in Iranian. A chain is established between Stem and v, which yields the nonstructural case on internal arguments, whereas the ergative case on external arguments is the result of the chain between Stem and Voice.

关于伊朗案件和协议

本文研究了伊朗语言中的案例和协议模式，主要关注 Zazaki 和库尔德语变体。从经验上讲，本文讨论了类型学上罕见的双斜线图案，以及一种新的斜线分割方式。文章根据斜承载论元的句法行为，认为术语“斜”对应于不同的格，从结构性宾格到非结构性与格和作格。斜数协议区分大小写，仅针对斜数中的作格-倾斜。为了捕捉事实，我采用了多重一致的说明（Hiraiwa 2005），其中部分数字一致是一个过程，它通过 Impoverishment 在形态学中发生，而不是在正确的语法中发生。该研究建议沿 Svenonius (2006) 的路线捕捉伊朗语言中的格模式，其中带有非结构格的参数从两个头的组合中获得许可（cf. Chomsky 1993），其中一个是 Stem，轨迹在伊朗的分裂作格。Stem 和 v 之间建立了一个链，它产生了内部参数的非结构案例，而外部参数的作格案例是 Stem 和 Voice 之间链的结果。
