Case, 20 Years Later*

University of Southern California
The theory of abstract Case in the framework of Government and Binding played
an important role in capturing cross-linguistic generalizations regarding order
and constituency and accommodating exceptions to word order universals. Case
was shown to be relevant even in languages without morphological case markings.
Indeed, Li (1985, 1990) demonstrated that Case facilitated the understading of a
wide range of grammatical structures in Chinese. However, as the linguistic
theory evolved, it became possible to replace a Case approach to word order with
a verb-raising analysis, which seems to challenge the signifycance of Case in the
grammar of Chinese. This paper is to show that the empirical generalizations
supporting Case in the earlier works but questioned in some other works are still
valid, and that the research on Case further sheds light on other issues such as the
finer structure of clauses in Chinese.

The notion of Case and the theory of Case in the framework of Government and
Binding (Chomsky 1981) have played a very important role in describing cross-linguistic
generalizations regarding word order and constituent structures. Languages with overt
morphogical case markings demonstrate well how cases are good indications of order and
constituency. For instance, a nominative case-marked element is gen
