Ergativity in Iranian 1 Ergativity in Iranian Geoffrey Haig geoffrey.haig@uni-bamberg.de July 2015 This manuscript is the full-length version of a manuscript due to be published shortly under a slightly different title, and with significant cuts in length. As some of the material that was edited out may be of general interest, I decided to make the longer version available on academia.edu Comments welcome I gratefully acknowledge the comments of Carina Jahani and Ergin Öpengin on earlier versions of this paper, though they bear no responsibility for the remaining shortcomings.
