Abstract:

This book provides both language-specific and cross-linguistic comparative
analyses of phenomena relating to person, case and case-marking, and
agreement. It offers an explicit and detailed analysis of differential object
marking in Hungarian, and shows that the same general type of analysis can
account for related phenomena in unrelated languages such as Kashmiri and
Sahaptin. In Hungarian, the person of both the subject and the object
determines verbal morphology, while in Kashmiri and Sahaptin, person
determines object case-marking and subject case-marking, respectively. Andras
Barany adopts broadly the same analysis for these three languages, focusing on
how person and agreement influence case-marking. In contrast, the final
chapters examine how case-marking influences agreement and show how to account
for both orders of interaction. Finally, the author discusses typological
generalizations based on the interaction of case and agreement and shows how
only the attested patterns of case-marking and agreement in ditransitive
clauses are predicted. 

The book combines data from eight different language families with theory and
explicit analyses, and will be of interest to both formal and data-oriented
linguists and typologists alike.
