The role of semantic, pragmatic, and discourse factors in the development of case
This volume grew out of a workshop organized by us, Jóhanna Barðdal and
Shobhana L. Chelliah, at the 17th International Conference of Historical Linguistics in
Madison, Wisconsin (31 July–5 August 2005). Our respective research in Germanic and
Tibeto-Burman morphological case marking convinced us of the integral role of
pragmatics, semantics, and discourse structure in the historical development of morphologically
marked case systems. We thus decided to bring together other scholars
researching morphological case marking systems from this perspective.
