Abstract:

This book offers a fresh perspective on how natural languages encode
grammatical relations, by delving into the interplay between oblique
cases, adpositions, serial verbs, and applicatives. This book reveals,
through a series of case studies, the pervasive role of the
'inclusion' relator across diverse linguistic contexts. Departing from
traditional views that obliques lack interpretive content, this work
presents a unified conceptual framework of relations in grammar.
Drawing on minimalist principles, the book posits a preeminence of the
lexicon in syntactic projection, shedding light on the underlying
ontology of language. By exploring cross-categorial variation and
syncretism, it outlines an inventory of primitives shaping
morpho-syntactic derivations.
