The paper discusses the approach to cases within the frameworks of Functional Grammar and of Cognitive Grammar. Issues discussed are the possible structure of case meaning, the possible difference between governed and non-governed uses of cases, and the use of different cases for the second argument of bivalent verbs, with examples draw from Latin and Greek. Differences between the two approaches are argued to depend crucially on the use of discrete (in FG) as opposed to continuous (in CG) concepts for the description of linguistic phenomena.

Abstract
The paper discusses the approach to cases within the frameworks of Functional Grammar and of Cognitive Grammar. Issues discussed are the possible structure of case meaning, the possible difference between governed and non-governed uses of cases, and the use of different cases for the second argument of bivalent verbs, with examples draw from Latin and Greek. Differences between the two approaches are argued to depend crucially on the use of discrete (in FG) as opposed to continuous (in CG) concepts for the description of linguistic phenomena.File in questo prodotto:
