Harada (1971) claims that there is a rule which converts a nominative case marker -ga into a genitive case marker -no. He calls this rule Ga/No conversion. This phenomenon (i.e., the nominative-genitive case conversion, NGC) has attracted much attention since his seminal work, and various analyses have been proposed in the literature. One of the prevailing analyses claims that the subject is marked genitive when it is in a certain local domain of the external nominal head N/D (Bedell 1972, Saito 1982, 1983, Fukui 1986, Fukui and Nishigauchi 1992, Miyagawa 1993, Ochi 2001, Maki and Uchibori 2008, among others). The core idea of the analysis is to reduce the genitive case marking on the subjects in relative clauses and nominal complements to that on the elements in noun phrases. Let us call this approach the nominal approach. In contrast, another influential analysis argues that the existence of the external nominal element is irrelevant to NGC (Watanabe 1994, 1996, Hiraiwa 2001). This argument claims that a certain property of C is responsible for the licensing of the genitive subject. Let us call this approach the non-nominal approach. However, as we will see in the following discussions, none of the previous approaches satisfactorily account for NGC. This study aims to propose a novel realization theory of unmarked cases, i.e., nominative -ga and genitive -no, within the phase-based model (Chomsky 2007, 2008), and argue that the proposed theory satisfactorily captures the properties of NGC. The central part of the proposal
