Features: Case is a fundamental category in language systems, appearing in various ways that may seem obviously different across unrelated languages. Philo's The Case for Case has attempted to explore the universal principles underlying diverse case forms. This book explores the meaning of variations that arise to adapt to different languages, providing a background that helps better understand case markers in specific languages. The book was first published in 1994 and revised in 2001. In the revised edition, the discussion of important concepts has been expanded and improved, incorporating the latest developments in current research. It also explores the concept of abstract case within the framework of Chomsky's theory.
