研究表明，Roberts(1997)提出的格标记的丧失与英语中从动宾语到动宾语的转换之间的联系与英语和其他日耳曼语言的事实相矛盾。有人认为，这一失败不是由于对句法或词法细节的错误处理，而是因为该提议跨越了句法-词法界面。通过对动词提升和一致的研究，探讨了它们之间的相似之处，并提出，为了不仅仅是描述性的概括，某些形态属性具有句法效果的说法必须用词法和句法都可以原则性地引用的术语来表述。
It is shown that the connection posited by Roberts (1997) between the loss of case marking and the shift from OV to VO in English is contradicted by the facts of English and the other Germanic languages. It is argued that this failure is not the result of an incorrect handling of the syntactic or morphological details, but of the way that the proposal straddles the syntax–morphology interface. Parallels are explored with research on verb raising and agreement, and it is proposed that, in order to be more than a descriptive generalization, the claim that some morphological property has a syntactic effect must be couched in terms that both the morphology and the syntax can refer to in a principled way.
