This Handbook provides a comprehensive account of current research
on case and the morphological and syntactic phenomena associated
with it. The semantic roles and grammatical relations indicated by
case are fundamental to the whole system of language and have long
been a central concern of descriptive and theoretical linguistics.
The book opens with the editors' synoptic overview of the main
lines of research in the field, which sets out the main issues,
challenges, and debates. Some sixty scholars from all over the
world then report on the state of play in theoretical, typological,
diachronic, and psycholinguistic research. They assess
cross-linguistic work on case and case-systems and evaluate a
variety of theoretical approaches. They examine current issues and
debates from historical, areal, socio-linguistic, and
psycholinguistic perspectives. The final part of the book consists
of a set of overviews of case systems representative of some of the
world's major language families.
The book includes a detailed index and bibliography as well as
copious cross-references. It will be of central interest to all
scholars and advanced students of syntax and morphology as well as
to those working in associated subjects in semantics, typology, and
psycholinguistics.
