If there is any language where assignment uses one style and argument passing always uses another, I've never come across it.
My language does that. I'd be very surprised if it was the only one in existence that does so.
Assignments involve a deep copy. Argument passing is something in-between by-value and by-reference (depending also on the type of data involved). There is a also an actual by-reference mode (where a pointer is passed).
