This paper is mainly concerned with the case theory in Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. Following Przepio´rkowski (1999), I will assume the dichotomy between the structural case, assigned through general grammatical rules, and the lexical case, assigned by particular heads. I adopt here the insight of Meurers (1999b) and assume the priority of raising information over realization information in assigning case. Instead of marking each element of ARG-ST as [REALIZED +/-], I will mark it as [RAISED +/-]: an element of ARG-ST is [RAISED +] if and only if it occurs also on a higher ARG-ST. Case will now be assigned only to [RAISED -] arguments. This paper sketches the current issues in the Korean case theory. (Dongshin University)
