Abstract

The relationship between the verb and its arguments is one of the fundamental relationships in human languages. This relationship is formed in different ways in languages and it creates the grammatical roles to different methods. The purpose of article is to determine the syntactic relationships and case-marking of the Lori language in Kohgiluyeh and Boyerahmad province. The method of carrying out the study is descriptive-analytical. The data was obtained through the creation of audio corpus. In this way, many times, the conversation between people was recorded with a mobile phone and the audio corpus was created. Then the information was extracted from it. The results of the study suggested that the syntactic and semantic relationships, include nominative, accusative, genitive, vocative, types of prepositional complement and locative case. From the syntactic point of view, the case system, whether the arguments are lexical or pronominal, whether the tense and aspect of the verb is past and perfect or non-past and imperfect, is placed in the type of nominative-accusative or complete-accusative systems. However, in terms of semantic and derivational morphology, it shows a trace of the ergative-absolutive system.
