 Lardil(澳大利亚的Tangkic)允许名词出现多格词缀。这种所谓的格堆叠的一个条件是,当新的形态被添加到具有语义上不可解释的格的名词(例如格)时,格被丢弃;相比之下,具有语义上可解释的格的名词(例如工具)可以在格语素之外堆叠更多的形态。我认为,无法解释的情况下,在这些例子中,实际上是分配,后来被淘汰,并制定了一个方法,拼写出来,允许这样的推导发生,其中PF拼写出来和LF拼写出来是分离的。我提供了两个论点,证明格分配和一致等过程是在狭义语法中发生的:一个与有意义和无意义的格之间的区别有关,另一个与Lardil时态一致和各种类型的运动操作之间的相互作用有关。
Abstract.  Lardil (Tangkic, Australia) allows nominals to surface with multiple case affixes. One condition on this so-called case stacking is that when new morphology is added to a nominal with a semantically uninterpretable Case (such as accusative), the Case is dropped; a nominal with a semantically interpretable Case (such as instrumental), by contrast, can stack more morphology outside the Case morpheme. I argue that uninterpretable Cases in these examples are in fact assigned and later eliminated, and develop an approach to Spell-out that allows such derivations to take place, in which PF Spell-out and LF Spell-out are dissociated. I offer two arguments that processes like Case assignment and concord take place in the narrow syntax: one has to do with the distinction drawn between meaningful and meaningless Cases, and the other with the interaction between Lardil Tense concord and various types of movement operations.
