Ergativity fo nouns and case assignment

Abstract

Grimshaw and Mester (1988) deal with the interesting issue of 0-marking in regard to complex expressions consisting of a noun followed by the verb suru in Japanese.' A representative example of what they discuss is in (1), in which KEEKOKU is a SinoJapanese compound noun. The noun KEEKOKU can be assigned accusative case by suru as in (la), or it can be incorporated into the verb suru as in (Ib), forming a complex predicate.2
