The case of restricted locatives1 Ora MATUSHANSKY — SFL (CNRS/Université Paris-8)/UiL OTS/Utrecht University Abstract. This paper examines the cross-linguistic phenomenon of locative case restricted to a closed class of items (L-nouns). Starting with Latin, I suggest that the restriction is semantic in nature: L-nouns denote in the spatial domain and hence can be used as locatives without further material. I show how the independently motivated hypothesis that directional PPs consist of two layers, Path and Place, explains the directional uses of L-nouns and the cases that are assigned then, and locate the source of the locative case itself in p0, for which I then provide a clear semantic contribution: a type-shift from the domain of loci to the object domain.

  • Accusative Case in Pps
    Accusative case in PPs Boban Arsenijevi ć and Berit Gehrke University of Amsterdam Pompeu Fabra University 1. Introduction In some Indo-European languages, such as most Slavic ones, Latin, or German, a number of prepositions with spatial meanings take nominal complements in two different cases: an oblique case (e.g. dative, locative 1, or instrumental), as in (1), and accusative (2). (1) a. Elena čitala knigu v komnate. Russian Elena read book. ACC in room. LOC ‘Elena read a/the book in a/the room.’ b. Hans schob den Wagen in dem Graben. German Hans pushed the. ACC cart in the. DAT ditch ‘Hans pushed the cart inside the ditch.’ (2) a. Elena položila knigu v sumku. Russian Elena put book. ACC in bag. ACC ‘Elena put a/the book in a/the bag.’ b. Hans schob den Wagen in den Graben. German Hans pushed the. ACC cart in the. ACC ditch ‘Hans pushed the cart into the ditch.’ In this paper, we will concentrate on Serbo-Croatian (S-C) and German (G), but we assume that the analysis can be applied to other languages that display this kind of case alternation in the PP domain. Traditional grammar generalizes that prepositions assign accusative in the context of a change of state, most frequently of location, in which the relevant PP denotes the result state or final location of this change. Locative, or other oblique cases, are assigned in PPs that modify the entire event (structurally represented as VP), usually for place. Accusative is linked to the denotation of the goal.

  • Russian Grammar 1 Russian Grammar
    Russian grammar 1 Russian grammar Russian grammar (Russian: грамматика русского языка, IPA: [ɡrɐˈmatʲɪkə ˈruskəvə jɪzɨˈka]; also русская грамматика; IPA: [ˈruskəjə ɡrɐˈmatʲɪkə]) encompasses: • a highly inflexional morphology • a syntax that, for the literary language, is the conscious fusion of three elements: • a Church Slavonic inheritance; • a Western European style; • a polished vernacular foundation. The Russian language has preserved an Indo-European inflexional structure, although considerable adaption has taken place. The spoken language has been influenced by the literary one, but it continues to preserve some characteristic forms. Russian dialects show various non-standard grammatical features, some of which are archaisms or descendants of old forms discarded by the literary language. NOTE: In the discussion below, various terms are used in the meaning they have in standard Russian discussions of historical grammar. In particular, aorist, imperfect, etc. are considered verbal tenses rather than aspects, because ancient examples of them are attested for both perfective and imperfective verbs. Nouns Nominal declension is subject to six cases – nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, and prepositional – in two numbers (singular and plural), and absolutely obeying grammatical gender (masculine, feminine, and neuter). Up to ten additional cases are identified in linguistics textbooks,[1][2][3] although all of them are either incomplete (do not apply to all nouns) or degenerate (appear identical to one of the six simple cases). The most recognized additional cases are locative (в лесу, в крови, в слезах), partitive (чаю, сахару, коньяку), and several forms of vocative (Господи, Боже, отче). The adjectives, pronouns, and the first two cardinal numbers further vary by gender.

  • Case Movement in Pps
    Case Movement in PPs Pavel Caha CASTL, University of Tromsø Abstract In this paper, I outline the Peeling theory of Case (Starke 2005) and apply it to Case phenomena in adpositional phrases. The Peel- ing theory says that DPs are base generated with a number of Case related functional projections on top of them, and when they move to the left, they strand some of these projections in situ. To test this theory and the specific predictions it makes, I look at phenomena where a single adposition allows its complement to surface in var- ious Cases and phenomena where a single adposition allows for its complement to either precede or follow. In each case that we will look at, we will be interested in what semantic factors govern such alternations and in what way the DP helps bring about the contrast. 1. Introduction: The Peeling theory of Case The Peeling theory of Case has two ingredients. The first ingredient builds on the general assumption that binary syntactic structure is composed of large number of primitives (features) that appear in a hierarchy predestined by UG, called the functional sequence (fseq; see e.g., Cinque 1999, Starke 2004). Specifically, we can think of each DP as dominated by a number of Case-related functional projections that come in a particular universal hi- erarchy. Let me illustrate with an example that exploits a parallel between spatial adpositions and Case. In the domain of PPs, it has been often observed (see e.g., van Riemsdijk and Huybregts 2002) that a morpheme expressing directionality (e.g., from in English) can co-occur with a morpheme expressing location (e.g., be- hind), yielding (1).

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF GERMANIC AND SLAVIC LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE A COMPARITIVE STUDY OF TWO RUSSIAN TEXTBOOKS WITH A FOCUS ON GRAMMATICAL CASES KATHERINE A. BARBA Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Russian, Spanish, and International Studies with honors in Russian Reviewed and approved* by the following: Irina Mikaelian Lecturer in Russian Thesis Supervisor Michael M. Naydan Woskob Family Professor of Ukrainian Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This study identifies the methods used in two college beginner-level Russian textbooks in order to determine their relative effectiveness. The Introductory Chapter explains the aims of two textbooks under consideration: Голоса- A Basic Course in Russian (Book 1) and Начало (Book 1). The first chapter introduces different learning styles and various methods for effectively evaluating a textbook. The study also strives to determine which textbook presents the six grammatical cases in Russian more effectively. The different case forms comprise the most difficult aspect of Russian language learning. Based on analysis of the presentation of the cases, the researcher concludes that the textbook Голоса- A Basic Course in Russian (Book 1) more effectively presents the grammatical aspects in teaching Russian language. ii Table of Contents ACKNOWLEGEMENTS .......................................................................................................

  • Spatial Cases
    This is the pre-final version of a paper published in Malchukov, A. & A. Spencer (eds.), 2008, The Oxford Handbook of Case, 609-625, Oxford University Press. Don’t quote without checking the published version before. Spatial Cases Denis Creissels Université Lumière (Lyon 2) [email protected] 1. Introductory remarks 1.1.Definitions In this chapter, the term case is taken in its traditional meaning of inflectional category-system (and the individual categories or values of that system) expressing dependency relations involving NPs.1 A spatial relation involves two percepts, a Figure (or Theme, or Trajector) and a Ground (or Location, or Landmark), the Figure being perceived as located or in motion relative to the Ground.2 A spatial case is an inflected form of nouns or NPs distinct from the absolute form available for the extra-syntactic function of pure designation, and apt to fulfill one of the following functions without the addition of an adposition:3 – non-verbal predicate, or predicative complement of a copula, specifying the location of an entity, – verb satellite specifying the location of an event, – argument of motion verbs specifying the source, path, or destination of the movement. It may happen that the same case form has some uses corresponding to this definition along with non-spatial uses (see sections 4 and 5). Some authors have advocated that all cases can be viewed as locative expressions (see in particular Hjelmslev 1935, Hjelmslev 1937, Anderson 1971, Cook 1989). Since we are concerned with cases that have concrete spatial meanings (and not with cases having only non-spatial uses derivable from abstract locative meanings) this question will not be further developed here.

Pustovalova International Business Academy Scientific advisor: I. N. Matassova, master of foreign philology, senior teacher Language advisor: I. N. Matassova, master of foreign philology, senior teacher Abstract: The given article is devoted to the phenomenon of case. It deals with the problem of the category of case in the English language. The article presents the origin of the term “case”, definition of the notion and various approaches to the category of case in the English language study: “the theory of positional cases”, “the theory of prepositional cases”, “the theory of limited case”, “the theory of possessive postposition”; their critical assessment. Key words: case, case category, common case, possessive (genitive) case, positional case, prepositional case, limited case, possessive postposition. The term “case” is from Latin casus 'fall(ing)', which is in turn a translation of the Greek ptõsis 'fall(ing)' (cf. loan translations in other languages such as German Fall, Russian padež, from pad- 'fall'). The idea seems to have been that of "falling away from an assumed standard form" (Blake, 2001). “Case is the morphological category of the noun manifested in the forms of noun declension and showing the relations of the nounal referent to other objects and phenomena. Thus, the case form of the noun, or contractedly its "case" (in the narrow sense of the word), is a morphological-declensional form” (Блох, 2000). The category of case in English constitutes a great linguistic problem.

The first is devoted to case and its related phenomena; the second part deals with prepositions and their relation to case. Unfortunately, the number of syntactic theories that explore case is too large to receive a full description here. Therefore, this chapter starts with an examination of the phenomenon of case in the general linguistic framework adopted for this study, which is Case theory.
