Mark Baker (Faculty) debates Case with Julie Legate (Penn) in this week’s “linguistic flash-mob” on Thursday, 21 Jan, 2021 at noon ET.
The debate revolves around the following three questions/points:
- Are direct cases a by-product of Agree or do they derive from the algorithm of dependent case?
- How do you account for ergative vs. accusative alignment?
- Morphological case vs. Syntactic case
You can catch it on the series’ YouTube channel, where you can also find Viviane Deprez (Faculty) and Hedde Zeiljstra (Göttingen) debating Negation.
