About the Book

The papers in this volume can be grouped into two broad, overlapping classes: those dealing primarily with case and those dealing primarily with grammatical relations. With regard to case, topics include descriptions of the case systems of two Caucasian languages, the problems of determining how many cases Russian has and whether Hungarian has a case system at all, the issue of case-combining, the retention of the dative in Swedish dialects, and genitive objects in the languages of Europe. With regard to grammatical relations, topics include the order of obliques in OV and VO languages, the effects of the referential hierarchy on the distribution of grammatical relations, the problem of whether the passive requires a subject category, the relation between subjecthood and definiteness, and the issue of how the loss of case and aspectual systems triggers the use of compensatory mechanisms in heritage Russian.

Table of Contents:
1. Preface; 2. Determining morphosyntactic feature values: The case of case (by Corbett, Greville G.); 3. Does Hungarian have a case system? (by Spencer, Andrew); 4. Case in Ingush syntax (by Nichols, Johanna); 5. Cases, arguments, verbs in Abkhaz, Georgian and Mingrelian (by Hewitt, George); 6. The degenerative dative of Southern Norrbothnian (by Dahl, Osten); 7. Case compounding in the Bodic languages (by Noonan, Michael); 8. Leipzig fourmille de typologues: Genitive objects in comparison (by Haspelmath, Martin); 9. An asymmetry between VO and OV languages: The ordering of obliques (by Hawkins, John A.); 10. On the scope of the referential hierarchy in the typology of grammatical relations (by Bickel, Balthasar); 11. Does passivization require a subject category? (by Mithun, Marianne); 12. The definiteness of subjects and objects in Malagasy (by Keenan, Edward L.); 13. Without aspect (by Polinsky, Maria); 14. Author index; 15. Language index; 16. Subject index

Review :
This collection of papers in honor of Bernard Comrie, despite certain weaker points (both conceptual and technical), is a very valuable contribution to the typological and empirical study of case and grammatical relations across languages, and, last but not least, it is indeed worthy as a Festschrift to so eminent a scholar as Bernard Comrie.
