Morphological case and interpretation
There are a variety of approaches to case alternation in Finnish, including Vainikka 1989, Nelson 1998, Kiparsky 1998, 2001, and Kratzer 2004. These offer an account of the alternation between partitive and other structural cases (acc/nom) on nominals. The majority of the proposals focuses on a subset of the environments where case alternation is attested. I propose a Minimalist account which c...
متن کاملAnimacy Acquisition Using Morphological Case
Animacy is an inherent property of entities that nominals refer to in the physical world. This semantic property of a nominal has received much attention in both linguistics and computational linguistics. In this paper, we present a robust unsupervised technique to infer the animacy of nominals in languages with rich morphological case. The intuition behind our method is that the control/agency...
متن کاملOn morphological case and word-order freedom∗
A commonly made cross-linguistic generalization is that languages with extensive case-marking tend also to have greater freedom of word order than languages without. Explicit statements to this effect can be found in Sapir (1921, pp. 66, 177ff.), Jakobson (1936, p. 28) and more recently in Blake (2001, p. 15), but the idea goes back to the beginning of comparative studies of language. Thus on t...
متن کاملThe optional use of morphological case
This paper provides a unified account of construction alternations in which case markers are involved, extending the traditional focus on the differential use of core case markers (DCM). Using an Optimality Theoretic framework, it is argued that the optional use of morphological case can be explained by the interaction of an economy and cooperativeness principle.
متن کاملFree Word Order, Morphological Case, and Sympathy Theory
In this paper, I address the relation between scrambling and morphological Case from an optimality-theoretic perspective. Based on empirical evidence from German, Russian, and Bulgarian, and conceptual evidence involving issues of parametrization, I give arguments against the traditional view that scrambling presupposes morphological Case. The remaining two options are (a) and (b). (a) There is...
