Abstract:

Interest in non-canonically case-marked subjects has been unceasing since the
groundbreaking work of Andrews and Masica in the late 70’s who were the first
to document the existence of syntactic subjects in another morphological case
than the nominative. Their research was focused on Icelandic and South-Asian
languages, respectively, and since then, oblique subjects have been reported
for language after language throughout the world. This newfangled recognition
of the concept of oblique subjects at the time was followed by discussions of
the role and validity of subject tests, discussions of the verbal semantics
involved, as well as discussions of the theoretical implications of this case
marking strategy of syntactic subjects. This volume contributes to all these
debates, making available research articles on different languages and
language families, additionally highlighting issues like language contact,
differential subject marking and the origin of oblique subjects.
