Case, Scope, and Binding investigates the relation between syntax
and semantics within a framework which combines the syntactic
Government-Binding theory with a novel cross-linguistic theory of
case and semantics. It is argued that case assignment, agreement,
syntactic binding relations, as well as the minimum scopes of
operators, are all determined by the relations which hold at the
level of s-structure. Cross-linguistic variation with respect to
these phenomena is due to corresponding variations at the
s-structure level. The minimum scope of an operator cannot exceed
its c-command domain at s-structure, but may be reduced by certain
semantic mechanisms. The availability of any wider scope option
depends on the possibility of movement at LF. The proposed theory
is tested in detail against the facts of Inuit (Eskimo-Aleut
family), an ergative language with typologically unusual scope and
binding relations. For linguists and philosophers interested in
syntax, semantics, or the syntax-semantics interface.
