Agreement and global case splits: agreement determining case
View through CrossRef
This chapter moves on to other languages and discusses global case splits. Such splits are alternations in case-marking which depend on properties of more than one argument, i.e. they are not local, but global. The analysis introduced in Chapter 3 is extended to cover such splits as well, showing that the same configurations of person determine the distribution of object agreement in Hungarian, subject case in Sahaptin, and object case in Kashmiri. It is also shown how the analysis can account for splits that are based on animacy using the same machinery, and splits that go beyond the inverse/direct distinction. The data in this chapter also illustrate that person and agreement can determine the choice of Case on the verb’s arguments in a number of languages in systematic ways.
