The focus of the chapters lies on showing how animacy affects argument marking. Unlike previous studies, these chapters primarily deal with lesser studied phenomena, such as animacy effects on spatial cases and the differences between cases and adpositions in the coding of spatial relations. In addition, theoretical and diachronic issues related to case and semantic roles are also discussed; for example, what is case, how do cases develop and what are the functional differences between cases and adpositions? The chapters deal with a variety of different languages including Uralic languages, Indo-European languages, Basque, Korean and Vaeakau-Taumako. The book is appealing to anyone interested in case, animacy and/or semantic roles. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/tsl.99.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027206800.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027206800.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/tsl.99.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/tsl.99.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/tsl.99.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/tsl.99.hb.png 10 01 JB code tsl.99.01kit 1 26 26 Article 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Introduction to case, animacy and semantic roles</TitleText> 1 A01 Seppo Kittilä Kittilä, Seppo Seppo Kittilä 2 A01 Katja Västi Västi, Katja Katja Västi University of Oulu and University of Helsinki 3 A01 Jussi Ylikoski Ylikoski, Jussi Jussi Ylikoski University of Helsinki and Sámi University College 10 01 JB code tsl.99.02kit 29 64 36 Article 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Remarks on the coding of Goal, Recipient and Vicinal Goal in European Uralic</TitleText> 1 A01 Seppo Kittilä Kittilä, Seppo Seppo Kittilä University of Helsinki 2 A01 Jussi Ylikoski Ylikoski, Jussi Jussi Ylikoski University of Helsinki & Sámi University College 01 This paper discusses the coding of three roles, Goal, Recipient and Vicinal Goal (&#8216;to the vicinity of&#8217;) in European Uralic languages. The paper shows that Uralic languages typically use cases for Recipients and Goals, while Vicinal Goals bear adpositional coding except for a few languages with extraordinarily rich case inventories. The explanation given for this is that Goals and Recipients are expected roles, borne by inanimate and animate endpoints of transfer, respectively, while Vicinal Goal is a marked role, not retrievable directly from the features of the landmark. Consequently, a more elaborate coding is needed. Many studies only concern Goals and Recipients, but the findings of this paper show that a broader perspective is needed for arriving at a better understanding of Goal. 10 01 JB code tsl.99.03vas 65 110 46 Article 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A case in search of an independent life</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">case in search of an independent life</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">The semantics of the initial allative in a Finnish verbless construction</Subtitle> 1 A01 Katja Västi Västi, Katja Katja Västi University of Oulu & University of Helsinki 01 The present study discusses senses of the Finnish verbless allative-initial construction with particular attention to the allative element. I argue that the construction under investigation cannot be defined as an elliptic structure, but rather is an independent and genuinely verbless construction and that there are at least eight distinct senses for the allative element. These senses are called <sc>actor, purchaser, target group, exploiter, receiver, affected, implicated actor</sc>, and <sc>encounterer</sc>. I argue that the first two have agentive features, which is cross-linguistically extraordinary for a goal-marking morpheme, whereas the other six relate to senses which the Finnish allative case is known to have in other constructions as well.

This paper addresses the question which semantic factors determine the use of these alternative constructions. For this purpose two linguistic tasks were conducted &#8211; a forced choice task and a production task. The results of these studies indicate that there are differences in how these two constructions are used in Estonian: the adessive is used when there is an abstract relation between Trajector and Landmark and the Landmark is a place; the adposition <i>peal</i> &#8216;on&#8217; is used when there is an unconventional spatial relation between Trajector and Landmark and when the Landmark is a thing. 10 01 JB code tsl.99.05sir 135 154 20 Article 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Is there a future for the Finnish comitative?</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Arguments against the putative synonymy of the comitative case -<bi>ine</bi> and the postposition <bi>kanssa</bi></Subtitle> 1 A01 Maija Sirola-Belliard Sirola-Belliard, Maija Maija Sirola-Belliard University of Tampere 01 This paper sets out to question the claims made in literature about the synonymy of the Finnish comitative case -ine and the construction with the postposition <i>kanssa</i>, suggesting that the former is giving way to the latter.

The article argues that metonymy provides little insight into the conceptualization involved in the ODC. Moreover, animacy, involved in the metonymy analysis, is too broad a concept to be of much use for an understanding of the ODC. The article invokes inferred animacy, including sentience, intentionality and responsibility, in order to account for the metonymic construal. This analysis also makes sense of the use of the locative, as opposed to nominative, particle in the ODC. The function of the locative particle in the ODC is to mark the agent&#8217;s responsibility as limited to where the action takes place. 10 01 JB code tsl.99.08lur 207 234 28 Article 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The coding of spatial relations with human landmarks</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">coding of spatial relations with human landmarks</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">From Latin to Romance</Subtitle> 1 A01 Silvia Luraghi Luraghi, Silvia Silvia Luraghi University of Pavia 01 The paper discusses the coding of location and direction with respect to human entities, and analyzes the change undergone by the Latin coding system with its outcomes in the Romance languages. Latin features different coding strategies depending on whether location and direction relate to the interior of a landmark or to its vicinity; the former were used with inanimate landmarks, while the latter could be used with both inanimate and animate (human) ones. Most Romance languages do not continue this opposition. As a consequence, coding strategies for space expressions with human landmarks across the Romance languages display different patterns, which are described and discussed in the paper. 10 01 JB code tsl.99.09yli 235 280 46 Article 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">A survey of the origins of directional case suffixes in European Uralic</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>A </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">survey of the origins of directional case suffixes in European Uralic</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Jussi Ylikoski Ylikoski, Jussi Jussi Ylikoski University of Helsinki & Sámi University College 01 This paper surveys the origins of the total of twenty-seven directional case markers in the European branches of the Uralic language family.

The data obtained from a continuum of etymologically transparent and opaque cases within inflectional paradigms of various sizes not only corroborates but also adds to our understanding of grammaticalization of postpositions to suffixes, also leaving space for alternative paths of development of case markers. 10 01 JB code tsl.99.10les 281 304 24 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Dutch spatial case</TitleText> 1 A01 Sander Lestrade Lestrade, Sander Sander Lestrade Research group Sprachkontakt und Sprachvergleich & SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition, University of Bremen, Germany 01 This paper argues that Dutch has spatial case in the form of r-pronouns. The use of these pronouns is rather restricted, which explains the fact that they have not been recognized as spatial case markers before. The restricted use in Dutch is due to two simultaneously applying principles that are cross-linguistically validated. First, case can be used on constituents whose syntactic function can not be told from structural position. Second, infelicitous combinations of humans with spatial forms case can be avoided. The findings reported in this paper may necessitate a rethinking of what exactly (spatial) case is. 10 01 JB code tsl.99.11nae 305 328 24 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Case on the margins</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Pragmatics and argument marking in Vaeakau-Taumako and beyond</Subtitle> 1 A01 Åshild Næss Næss, Åshild Åshild Næss University of Zurich 01 This paper examines the argument-marking system in the Polynesian language Vaeakau-Taumako, which has pragmatically related functions similar to those found e.g. in so-called Differential Object Marking systems, but which does not refer to syntactic relations or semantic roles, the functions normally attributed to case-marking systems. It asks exactly which functions should be taken to define a case-marking system as opposed to a system marking pragmatic functions such as topic-focus-structure, and suggests a distinction between two grammatically relevant types of pragmatic salience: referent-determined salience, which is often relevant to case marking, and speaker-determined salience, which is typically encoded in purely pragmatic marking systems. On this account, referent-determined salience emerges as the property that links case-marking and pragmatic marking systems. 10 01 JB code tsl.99.12zun 329 348 20 Article 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Why should beneficiaries be subjects (or objects)?</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Affaction and grammatical relations</Subtitle> 1 A01 Fernando Zúñiga Zúñiga, Fernando Fernando Zúñiga University of Zurich 01 The present paper proposes a semantico-pragmatic representation of benefactive situations according to which beneficiaries are affected participants that are peripheral with respect to an overtly expressed causing subevent but core participants with respect to a covert resulting subevent. Such a view can be used to capture and further explore intralinguistic and crosslinguistic generalizations related to the fact that beneficiaries can be adjuncts, objects and even subjects in natural languages. Rather than postulating a particular theory of argument realization, this paper illustrates different syntactic realizations of beneficiaries and shows how they relate to the meaning of the construction. 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20110928 2011 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027206800 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 99.00 EUR R 01 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 149.00 USD S 723008676 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code TSL 99 Hb 15 9789027206800 13 2011025122 BB 01 TSL 02 0167-7373 Typological Studies in Language 99 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Case, Animacy and Semantic Roles</TitleText> 01 tsl.99 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/tsl.99 1 B01 Seppo Kittilä Kittilä, Seppo Seppo Kittilä University of Helsinki 2 B01 Katja Västi Västi, Katja Katja Västi University of Oulu & University of Helsinki 3 B01 Jussi Ylikoski Ylikoski, Jussi Jussi Ylikoski University of Helsinki & Sámi University College 01 eng 360 vi 354 LAN009000 v.2006 CFK 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SEMAN Semantics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SYNTAX Syntax 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.TYP Typology 06 01 The chapters of this volume scrutinize the interplay of different combinations of case, animacy and semantic roles, thus contributing to our understanding of these notions in a novel way.

Rather than postulating a particular theory of argument realization, this paper illustrates different syntactic realizations of beneficiaries and shows how they relate to the meaning of the construction. 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20110928 2011 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 01 245 mm 02 164 mm 08 810 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 31 16 01 02 JB 1 00 99.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 104.94 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 16 02 02 JB 1 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 16 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 149.00 USD
