{"product_id":"9781316234648","title":"Case: Its Principles and its Parameters","description":"In Case, Mark Baker develops a unified theory of how the morphological case marking of noun phrases is determined by syntactic structure. Designed to work well for languages of all alignment types - accusative, ergative, tripartite, marked nominative, or marked absolutive - this theory has been developed and tested against unrelated languages of each type, and more than twenty non-Indo-European languages are considered in depth. While affirming that case can be assigned to noun phrases by function words under agreement, the theory also develops in detail a second mode of case assignment: so-called dependent case. Suitable for academic researchers and students, the book employs formal-generative concepts yet remains clear and accessible for a general linguistics readership.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137131888880,"sku":"9781316234648","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316234648_p0.jpg?v=1763706800","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316234648","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
