Reply to the Reviews of Case: Its Principles and Parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
I want to begin this reply by thanking the three reviewers of my book (B), Haspelmath (H), Malchukov (M), and Stiebels (S), for paying careful attention to it, and for the kind things that they find to say about it, despite significant differences in our basic approaches and perspectives. I am glad that they each found some interest or inspiration in it—although I realize that that may be as much a credit to them as readers as it is to me as a researcher and writer. When each of them reviews my basic claims and proposals, they do so accurately, and there is little need for me to set the record straight at that level. I also welcome these as attempts at having some substantive interchange about matters of general linguistic significance across various theoretical approaches, including some that span the formalist-functionalist divide. I did not intend my book as a direct contribution to dialog between formalists and functionalists (which is why H does not find an explicit statement of my theoretical goals, but has to try to reconstruct them), but simply as a good and fairly accessible example of formal work on a topic of interest to many. But now that the reviewers have brought up more explicitly some of the broader conceptual issues, I can try to advance the discussion a bit further from my perspective, within the bounds of a short reply. I appreciate the opportunity to do so, not just in the abstract, but with the reasonably specific empirical domain of morphological case marking in the foreground.
