9223725 Maling This project explores the hypothesis that the syntactic cases form a Case Tier which is mapped onto a hierarchy or grammatical functions, consisting roughly of SUBJECT OBJECT ADVERB. This approach contrasts clearly with much current work on Case Theory, which assumes that Nominative and Accusative are "structural" cases (or Cases) assigned to particular configurational positions. The widespread occurrence of VP-internal nominatives and/or "nominative objects" constitutes a serious problem for structural theories of case assignment, but is entirely expected under the Case Tier model. The project will explore the limits of cross-linguistic variation within the Case Tier model, focusing on the assignment of nominative or absolutive case to verbal complements and various kinds of adverbial adjuncts, and the casemarking of ditransitive verbs. Basic questions to be addressed include: - What are the formal principles controlling the mapping, and parameters that allow for variation? - Is there a basic distinction between arguments and adjuncts? What kinds of adverbials may participate in the hierarchy? - How does syntactic case interact with oblique case assigned structurally to particular configuration positions? - How do predicate nominals get case-marked? - How do expletives get case-marked? - What are the implications of this approach for GB Case Theory, particularly the Case Filter and Burzio's Generalization? When are passive verbs accusative case assigners? Data will be drawn from a wide variety of case systems, including Finnish, Greek, Icelandic, Korean, Quechua and various Australian, Philippine, Slavic and South Asian languages. ***

9223725 Maling 该项目探讨了这样的假设：句法格形成格层，该格层映射到层次结构或语法功能，大致由主语、宾语、副词组成。 这种方法与格理论的许多当前工作形成鲜明对比，后者假设主格和宾格是分配给特定配置位置的“结构”格（或格）。 VP-内部主格和/或“主格宾语”的广泛出现对格分配的结构理论构成了严重的问题，但在格层模型下完全是预料之中的。 该项目将探讨格层模型中跨语言变异的局限性，重点关注主格或绝对格对动词补语和各种副词辅助词的分配，以及双及物动词的格标记。 要解决的基本问题包括： - 控制映射的正式原则和允许变化的参数是什么？ - 论据和附加物之间有基本的区别吗？ 什么样的状语可以参与层次结构？ - 句法格如何与结构上分配给特定配置位置的斜格相互作用？ - 谓词名词如何区分大小写？ - 脏话如何标记大小写？ - 这种方法对 GB 案例理论，特别是案例过滤器和 Burzio 的概括有何影响？ 被动动词什么时候宾格分配者？ 数据将来自各种格系统，包括芬兰语、希腊语、冰岛语、韩语、盖丘亚语以及各种澳大利亚、菲律宾、斯拉夫和南亚语言。 ***
