AbstractAgreement and case assignment can be interdependent, partially independent, or independent of each other (Baker & Vinokurova 2010; Baker 2014, 2015). These parametric options appear to have random distribution across languages. This paper claims on the basis of the comparison of the Ugric languages (Mansi, Khanty, and Hungarian) that the correlation of case and agreement or the lack of it may not be random. A strict correlation of case and agreement is attested in sentence structures displaying a fusion of grammatical functions and discourse roles. When these roles are encoded in distinct clausal domains, case and agreement have separate functions and licensing conditions, with case marking grammatical functions, and agreement associated with discourse roles. At the same time, relics of their former syntactic interdependence may survive in morphology, resulting in a partial correlation between case and agreement. It is shown that dependent case theory can account for the whole range of variation attested in the relation of case and agreement.

是什么决定了案件和协议的变化关系？来自乌戈尔语的证据

摘要协议和案例分配可以相互依赖、部分独立或相互独立（Baker & Vinokurova 2010; Baker 2014, 2015）。这些参数选项似乎具有跨语言的随机分布。本文在比较乌戈尔语（曼西语、汉特语和匈牙利语）的基础上声称，格和协议的相关或缺失可能不是随机的。格和一致性的严格相关性在句子结构中得到证实，表现出语法功能和话语角色的融合。当这些角色被编码在不同的从句域中时，案例和协议具有单独的功能和许可条件，案例标记语法功能，以及与话语角色相关的协议。同时，它们以前的句法相互依存的遗迹可能会在形态学中保留下来，从而导致大小写和一致性之间存在部分相关性。结果表明，从属案例理论可以解释案例和协议关系中所证明的整个变化范围。
