out, as shown in (3) (that the DP is still in the VP can be seen because it stands to the right ofthe adverb tolon ‘yesterday’ which marks the VP boundary). Thus, only hypothesis (c) remains.It is compatible with the data in (2) and (3). Furthermore, it predicts that (i) if a transitive verbassigns a case different from accusative to its internal argument, Poss will get GEN; and (ii) inan ECM construction, the Poss of the embedded accusative marked subject gets ABL. (i) and (ii)are borne out (cf. (4) and (5)). Note that the data in (4) are also an argument against hypotheses(a) and (b) (the DP is within VP and gets the patient role, but Poss bears GEN).(2) Possessor case in active-passive alternation:a.

It bears GEN elsewhere.(4)Petyr [Masha-len suzer-ez-ly] akylt-ePeter Masha-GEN sister-3SG-DAT bother-PRES.3SG‘Peter is bothering Mary’s sister.’dative assigning verb(5)Petyr Masha-leš puny-z-e tyloburdo-os-ty kutyl-e malpa.Peter Masha-ABL dog-3SG-ACC bird-PL-ACC.PL catch-PRES.3SG think.PRES.SG‘Peter believes Mary’s dog to catch birds.’ECM constructionA local analysis: Under the new generalization, the case split can be reanalyzed locally. Proposal:Poss is always assigned GEN from D inside the DP via Agree, a local operation. In Udmurt, everyDP has exactly two case slots and hence Poss can in principle get two case values, i.e., Udmurtexhibits an instance of case stacking (similarly to languages like Huallaga Quechua with overtcase stacking, cf. (6)). Case is assigned by a head to its sister node and then spreads to allelements in the c-command of the head (cf. Matushansky 2008, Pesetsky 2010). However, onlytwo structural cases can stack. This is derived as follows: The structural cases NOM, ACC andGEN are simplex and check one case slot of a DP, whereas the semantic cases (ablative, elative,etc.) are complex in that they consist of an oblique case + a structural case (cf. Béjar & Massam1999, Richards 2008). As a consequence, a semantic case values both case slots of a DP andthe DP can thus not be assigned another case (no stacking). If a DP is assigned a non-semanticcase first, it only values a single case slot. The second slot can then be valued by another nonsemanticcase (a semantic case would need two case slots). Hence, the following combinationscan arise on Poss: NOM+GEN, GEN+ACC, GEN+GEN, NOM+ACC. These values are realizedpostsyntactically (cf. Halle & Marantz 1993). But since there is only a single morphologicalcase slot in Udmurt, a repair strategy applies: The feature structures of the cases fuse into asingle feature structure; in case of feature conflict, the positive value of a feature remains in theresulting structure. Case decomposition: NOM = [–obl, –obj], ACC = [–obl, +obj], GEN = [+obl,–obj], ABL = [+obl, +obj] (the various oblique cases are further distinguished by semantic-basedfeatures). Fusing NOM+GEN results in the feature structure of GEN, i.e., only the GEN markeris realized. Fusion of GEN+ACC results in an oblique case. Since ABL is the default obliquecase in Udmurt (it is used in a variety of different contexts), the ABL marker will realize theresulting feature structure (cf. (7); GEN+GEN=GEN, NOM+ACC=ACC). To conclude, ABL isnot assigned to Poss in the DP; rather, Poss is always assigned GEN in the syntax, but due to theone-slot condition + fusion in the morphological component, it is realized as ABL if Poss hasbeen assigned ACC as well, creating the illusion of a non-local dependency. By discussing twoalternatives that build on a presyntactic morphology, we show that a local analysis of the casesplit in Udmurt must necessarily adopt a postsyntactic morphology.2
