Book Description
Let's face it. Humanity is a complete mess. Climate change, nuclear weapon threats, terrorism, big bad business and corrupted officials. We'd rather build gigantic religious monuments than take care of the poor or downtrodden. Clean needles are free in methadone clinics because 'addiction is a disease' but diabetic supplies are big business. The healthcare industry decides who lives and dies by how much money a person has. When things get this bad, all you can do is keep fighting.

The Place of Case in Grammar
Author: Christina Sevdali
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192635417
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 641
Book Description
This book deals with the category of case and where to place it in grammar. The crux of the debate lies in how the morphological expression of grammatical function should relate to formal syntax. In the generative tradition, this issue was addressed by the influential proposal that abstract syntactic Case should be dissociated from the morphological expression of case. The chapters in this book deal with a number of key issues in the ongoing debates that have emerged from this proposal. The first part discusses the modes that we need for structural case assignment, and how Case would relate to a theory of parameters. In the second part, contributors explore the division of labour between structural and inherent case, synchronically and diachronically, while the third part investigates individual cases and how they can illuminate case theory. The chapters discuss a wide range of phenomena, including differential object marking (DOM), global case splits, prepositional genitives and other prepositional phrases, nominative infinitival subjects, nominalizations of deponent verbs, and three-place predicates. They also draw on data from a variety of languages and language families, such as Hindi, Lithuanian, Kashmiri, Kinande, Greek, Hiberno-English, Romance, and Sahapatin.
