Lexical semantics vs. Dependent Case

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper discusses dative subject experiencer constructions in Urdu/Hindi. These have recently been taken to provide evidence for Dependent Case Theory, which sees the locus of explanation for case marking patterns in the phrase structural configuration two NPs are placed in. This paper reexamines the arguments and adduces more data, concluding that an analysis involving event-based linking within LFG provides a more insightful approach to the data.
