Overview

"Since antiquity, scholars have been fascinated by the phenomena of case. The explanation for this fascination is, as Hjelmslev already pointed out over 50 years ago, the fact that he who can unravel the meaning of case-relations has the key to language structure as a whole. For over three years, a team of 20 scholars affiliated with the Linguistics Department of Leuven University in Beligium has concentrated on case phenomena in different lanaguages, both Indo- and non-Indo European. The results are published as a series, ""Case and Grammatical Relations across Languages"", of which this is the first volume. This volume on the dative case contains 13 articles, each of which gives a detailed syntactic-semantic description of the dative or its counterparts in a particular language. In addition to the lexico-syntactice frames in which they occur, a numbers of textual and extra-linguistic factors are taken into account."
