Case : its principles and its parameters / Mark C. Baker, Rutgers University.

Call Number	415.5
Author	Baker, Mark C., author.
Title	Case : its principles and its parameters / Mark C. Baker, Rutgers University.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xviii, 336 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Series	Cambridge studies in linguistics ; 146
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	1. The issue of structural case -- 2. The variable relationship of case and agreement -- 3. C-command factors in case assignment -- 4. Domains of dependent case assignment -- 5. Categories involved in case interactions -- 6. On the timing of case assignment -- 7. Conclusion: pulling together the big picture.
Summary	In Case, Mark Baker develops a unified theory of how the morphological case marking of noun phrases is determined by syntactic structure. Designed to work well for languages of all alignment types - accusative, ergative, tripartite, marked nominative, or marked absolutive - this theory has been developed and tested against unrelated languages of each type, and more than twenty non-Indo-European languages are considered in depth. While affirming that case can be assigned to noun phrases by function words under agreement, the theory also develops in detail a second mode of case assignment: so-called dependent case. Suitable for academic researchers and students, the book employs formal-generative concepts yet remains clear and accessible for a general linguistics readership.
Subject	Grammar, Comparative and general Case. Case grammar.
