Henry Smith develops a theory of syntactic case and examines its
synchronic and diachronic consequences. Within a unification-based
framework, the book draws out pervasive patterns in the
relationship between morphosyntax ('linking') and grammatical
function. The theory proposed consists of three ordered constraints
on the association of NPs and arguments, based on the central
notion of 'restrictiveness'. Beginning with a detailed study of
dative substitution in Icelandic, the author moves on to examine a
wide array of synchronic and diachronic data and to construct a
typology of case. Theoretically innovative and sophisticated, and
descriptively wide-ranging, this book will appeal to all those
interested in the cross-linguistic marking of case and the ways in
which case systems may change over time.
