Abstract:
The aim of this volume is to bring non-syntactic factors in the development
of case into the eye of the research field, by illustrating the integral
role of pragmatics, semantics, and discourse structure in the historical
development of morphologically marked case systems. The articles represent
fifteen typologically diverse languages from four different language
families: (i) Indo-European: Vedic Sanskrit, Russian, Greek, Latin,
Latvian, Gothic, French, German, Icelandic, and Faroese; (ii)
Tibeto-Burman, especially the Bodic languages and Meithei; (iii) Japanese;
and (iv) the Pama-Nyungan mixed language Gurindji Kriol. The data also show
considerable diversity and include elicited, archival, corpus-based, and
naturally occurring data. Discussions of mechanisms where change is
obtained include semantically and aspectually motivated synchronic case
variation, discourse motivated subject marking, reduction or expansion of
case marker distribution, case syncretism motivated by semantics, syntax,
or language contact, and case splits motivated by pragmatics, metonymy, and
subjectification.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
