Ora Matushansky, « Locatives are not cases: Evidence from Lak », HAL-SHS : linguistique, ID : 10670/1.utx8cc
The generativist view of cases as features of an NP reflecting a relation to another constituent is incompatible with locative cases, which both encode semantic relations and stack in ways that indicate an independent syntactic projection. I will argue that Lak locative cases are best treated as nominal suffixes with axial semantics, like top in tabletop.
