Locatives are not cases: Evidence from Lak
Локативы это не падежи: данные лакского языка
Résumé
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.
