Originally published in 1977, On Case Grammar, represents a
synthesis of various lines of research, with special regard to the
treatment of grammatical relations. Arguments are assessed for and
against case grammar, localism, lexical decomposition and
relational grammar. The book surveys the important evidence to
support the validity of the choice of a case grammar as the most
satisfactory of current accounts of the notion of grammatical
relations. This evidence is derived from a detailed examination of
various processes in English and from a typological comparison of
other languages, notably Dyirbal and Basque. The book also looks at
the establishment of principled limitation on the set of case
relations. Lexical, syntactical, semantic and morphological
evidence suggests that the set of cases is in conformity with the
predictions of a strong form of the localist hypothesis, which
requires that case relations be distinguished in terms of source
vs. goal vs. location.
