Non-structural case marking in Tibeto-Burman and artificial languages
This paper discusses the diachronic development of non-structural case marking in Tibeto-Burman and in computer simulations of language evolution. It is shown how case marking is initially motivated by the pragmatic need to disambiguate between two core arguments, but eventually may develop flagging functions that even extend into the intransitive domain. Also, it is shown how different types of case-marking may emerge from various underlying dis…
On case and tense
In this paper, we propose a uniform motivation for subject case alternations that align with distinctions in tense and aspect and those that align with a distinction between stage- and individual-level predication. We argue that both follow from an economical use of case marking that is made possible by grounding. If the argument function of an event participant can be determined on the basis of information available in the here and now, the use …
A case of cultural evolution
Morphological case is a cross-linguistically widespread strategy to mark the role of participants of an event. Using a computer simulation, this paper will show how case can emerge in languages that have no rules of grammar as a result of cultural evolution. For this, only very general cognitive and communicative principles are necessary
The 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
Discourse marking and the subtle art of mind-reading
Commentary on Narrog - The Best of Two Maps
argues for the addition of a diachronic dimension to semantic maps. He illustrates how this can be accomplished for three different semantic domains: the Instrument-Companion domain, the Source-Agent domain, and the Goal-Recipient domain. Narrog"s paper includes a welcome and elaborate overview of the literature on grammaticalization of case marking
Introduction spatial case
Finnish case alternating adpositions
In this article, I discuss Finnish case alternation adpositions from a theoretical and corpus perspective.First, I argue that postpositional PP constructions with genitive case denote the standard spatial meaning of which an extension is marked with partitive case.Also, I show how word order interacts with case assignment.Both findings are formalized in a bidirectional Optimality Theoretic framework.Second, I show that case alternating behavior d…
The encoding of adjectives
In this paper, we will give a unified account of the cross-linguistic variation in the encoding of adjectives in predicative and attributive constructions. Languages may differ in the encoding strategy of adjectives in the predicative domain (Stassen 1997), and sometimes change this strategy in the attributive domain (Verkerk 2007). We will show that the interaction of two principles, that of faithfulness to the semantic class of a lexical root a…
