Sahar Taghipour (PhD Candidate) and Arsalan Kahnemuyipour (Faculty) have published a paper entitled "Agreement with Deficient Pronouns in Laki: A Syntactic Repair to a Clitic Cluster Restriction". They argue that Laki, a dialect spoken in the city of Kahdadht in northwestern Iran, has split ergativity which comes from the presence of a single locus of Agreement on T in past intransitive and present clauses, versus two loci of Agreement on T and v in past transitive clauses.
This is a must-read for syntax and morphology lovers!
