Ergative Case Marking and Agreement in the Central Dialect of Talishi

The present research accounts for the characteristic patterns of ergativity within the central dialect of Talishi language as one of the most important modern endangered North-Western Iranian languages. Talishi includes three main dialects as follows: Northern, Central and Southern dialects, which are divided according to the geographical area of their usage. The only dialect in which ergativity is preserved is the central one. Due to the crucial role of case and case marking studies in linguistic analyses, the present research is focused on the central dialect to be able to present a scientific analysis of the ergative data within the domain of active simple and compound transitive sentences. The analysis also demonstrates the agreement patterns in transitive and intransitive verbs, as well as the realization of case marking in the system under investigation according to Dixonʹs criteria.
