The phenomenon of ‘quirky’ case in Icelandic and the syntactic status of NPs bearing ‘quirky’ case has been the subject of much discussion in contemporary grammatical theory. Zaenen, Maling and Thráinsson (1985) and Andrews (1982a, b) present Lexical-Functional Grammar analyses of these phenomena. This paper proposes a Role and Reference Grammar account. Under the RRG account, ‘quirky’ case is less pervasive than LFG analyses claim, with many instances due not to idiosyncratic case marking but to the irregular transitivity of particular verbs. Further, RRG analyses of passive and ‘subject’ selection correctly predict the existence of dual passives for ditransitive verbs and the non-existence of impersonal passives for intransitive verbs with ‘quirky’ subjects.
