English Case: A Revisit

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Choi, Incheol. 2010. English Case: A Revisit. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal. 18(3). 1-16. The traditional approaches to English case system involve establishing a full-scale case assignment rule considering the case rule as an NP licensing process. This paper suggests that such approaches are not only redundant but also ignore the historical change from a case to a word order language. Instead, I propose a constraint-based analysis which applies only to personal pronouns, hence obtaining the economy of grammar as well as the adequacy of explanation
