This study sheds new light on the complex relationship between
cognitive and linguistic categories. Challenging the view of cases
as categories in cognitive space, Professor Schlesinger proposes a
new understanding of the concept of case. Drawing on evidence from
psycholinguistic research and English language data, he argues that
case categories are in fact composed of more primitive cognitive
notions: features and dimensions. These are registered in the
lexical entries of individual verbs, thereby allowing certain
metaphorical extensions. The features of a noun phrase may also be
determined by its syntactic function. This new approach to case
permits better descriptions of certain syntactic phenomena than has
hitherto been possible, as Schlesinger illustrates through his
analysis of the feature compositions of three cases.
