Differential argument marking has been a hot topic in linguistics
for several decades, both because it is cross-linguistically
widespread and because it raises essential questions at multiple
levels of grammar, including the relationship between abstract
processes and overt morphological marking, between case and
agreement, and between syntax and information structure. This
volume provides an introduction into the current state of the art
of research on differential case marking and chapters by leading
linguists addressing theoretical questions in a wide range of
typologically and geographically diverse languages from the
Indo-European, Sinitic, Turkic, and Uralic families. The chapters
engage with current theoretical issues in the morphology, syntax,
semantics, and processing of differential argument marking. A
central issue addressed by all the authors is the adequacy of
various theoretical approaches in modelling (different varieties
of) differential case marking, such as those determined by
topicality, those driven by cumulative factors, and those that
involve double marking. The volume will be of interest to students
and researchers working on cross-linguistic variation in
differential marking and its theoretical modelling.
