The term ‘case’ has long been adopted both in descriptive and theoretical analyses of natural languages. However, their uses refer to a diverse range of linguistic phenomena. In descriptive grammars, case often simply means formal marking of grammatical relations on nouns, or it is sometimes regarded as one of the inflectional properties that determine shapes of words. In derivational generative grammars such as Government and Binding and Minimalist Programme, case is an abstract feature that is assigned or checked under a certain syntactic environment, so that it signals a structural dependency relation between the governer and the governee regardless of its formal manifestation. In constraint-base frameworks such as Lexical Functional Grammar () and Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, since dependency relations in a clause or between clauses are explicitly encoded in a relevant structure, it is a common practice that a treatment of case is similar to the ones found in the descriptive grammars. This thesis aims to investigate phenomena in natural languages which are analysed by postulating case features, to ask to what extent case feature is required in the grammatical system of individual languages, and to establish the theoretical status of case. To this end, I introduce a specific criterion for positing case feature in the grammar, called ‘Beard’s Criterion’ (Beard 1995, Spencer and Otoguro 2005). The criterion prohibits the grammar from postulating case feature unless it is generalised over distinct forms as a part of inflectional properties. Based on that criterion, the current study provides analyses of Icelandic, HindiUrdu and Japanese within , primarily focusing on morphological and syntactic aspects of case and related phenomena. Through the investingatoins, the thesis answers the following questions: if the language needs to refer to case feature, how that feature functions in the grammar of that language, and if the language does not need it, how the phenomena, which have been analysed on the basis of case feature, are accounted for.
