Abstract
The aim of this article is to provide detailed descriptions of
the morpho-syntactic variations of grammatical relations within the
nominal and verbal paradigms in three south Asian Languages. The
sample includes the Indic/ Hindi/Urdu, the eastern Iranian Pashto
and the western Iranian Balochi languages, which are selected in the
range of new Indo-iranian languages, to explore the variations and
invariants in a cross-linguistics frame. The main patterns in concern
include: case relators in demonstrating the linguistic case marking,
case system classifications, syntactic/ morphological ergativity
opposition, split ergative system, unergative unaccusative
distinction, as well as quirky subjects, in the languages sketched with
in the paper.
