Case
In the last several decades, a variety of terminology has been developed for describing case‐marking patterns and uses of case marking. Here I will review the related concepts of semantic, oblique, and quirky/inherent case, discussing their development, and how they have been applied to describe case systems in various languages, with the sorts of problems that arise when trying to discriminate them from other kinds of case phenomena.
Reconciling NSM and Formal Semantics
Formal semantics and Natural Semantic Metalanguage are widely held to be radically incompatible as ways to study meaning in naural language. Here I will show that they can to some extent be reconciled. In particular, for linguists working with NSM, formal semantics can be viewed as providing mathematical accounts of some of the same phenomena that NSM studies, such as entailment, and for the formal semanticist, NSM offers a small target in the fo…
The major functions of the noun phrase
Introduction In this chapter we will discuss the major functions of noun phrases (NPS) in the languages of the world. We can think of nps as having three different kinds of functions: semantic, pragmatic and grammatical. Semantic and pragmatic functions are aspects of the meanings of sentences, grammatical functions aspects of their structure. Semantic functions, often called semantic roles, are the different ways in which a sentence can describe…
Non-canonical A/S marking in Icelandic
Semantic case‐stacking and inside‐out unification∗
The appearance of multiple case‐marking on a single nominal is a somewhat unusual phenomenon that is characteristic of many Australian languages, and which appears problematic for many grammatical theories. In this paper I will propose and describe an analysis of multiple semantic case‐marking in LFG, mostly on the basis of the unusually complex case morphology of the Australian languages Kayardild and Martuthunira. The analysis works by starting…

Long Distance Agreement in Modern Icelandic
Theodore Roosevelt and the State Trust Company
The affair of the State Trust Company, which General Andrews recounts here, occurred in 1900, when trust companies were increasing in number and expanding so rapidly as to arouse current comment in financial journals. Since such companies were less stringently regulated by law than other types of banking houses, their rise was viewed with interest tinged in some quarters by alarm. The rumor of sharp practices in the State Trust Company found, eag…
