Summary

In Case, Mark Baker presents a unified theory of morphological case, one of the most important ways that languages indicate a noun phrase's function in a sentence. It includes the first full-length study of dependent case assignment. The ideas are richly illustrated with data from more than twenty unrelated languages.

Additional text

Advance praise: 'Case is impressive in its breadth and scope, the variety of data surveyed, and thoughtful argumentation. As he has done throughout his career, Mark Baker once again helps us think about fundamental concepts of linguistic theory.' Maria Polinsky, Harvard University
