Abstract:

Volume 1 of Non-nominative Subjects (NNSs) presents the most recent
research on this topic from a wide range of languages from diverse language
families of the world, with ample data and in-depth analysis. A significant
feature of these volumes is that authors with different theoretical
perspectives study the intricate questions raised by these constructions.
Some of the central issues include the subject properties of noun phrases
with ergative, dative, accusative and genitive case, case assignment and
checking, anaphor?antecedent coreference, the nature of predicates with
NNSs, whether they are volitional or non-volitional, possibilities of
control coreference and agreement phenomena. These analyses have
significant implications for theories of syntax and verbal semantics, first
language acquisition of NNSs, convergence of case marking patterns in
language contact situations, and the nature of syntactic change.
